Good morning, Living Stones! God is good? All the time.… What a joy to join you this morning for prayers as we start the day … A moment of silence as we gather our thoughts … Lord, speak to us in the quietness of our daily lives and assure us of your everlasting love, even in...
Good morning to you on this day of the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick. We are now in the second half of Lent; Easter is getting closer. From today, each day is going to be longer than the night before it until nearly the end of September. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High...
Greetings, all. On Mothering Sunday our thoughts turn to Mary, Mother of Jesus. The first item in our sequence of music for this day is Healey Willan’s Chorale Prelude based on the fourteenth-century German tune ‘Quem Pastores’. Many of us will associate the tune with Percy Dearmer’s beautiful text Jesus, good above all other gentle Child...

Thank you, God, for the wonder of your creation; for taking such care of us. Help us to remember: each of us matters to you; you hurt when we hurt; you rejoice when we feel happy and fulfilled; you are saddened when we neglect you and neglect others. As we approach Mothering Sunday this weekend, we...

Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall proclaim your praise! Good morning and welcome to this session of morning prayers. Ordinarily, our sister Glynne Gordon-Carter would be bringing us our devotions, but she is a wee bit under the weather. Hold her in your prayers, will you!

Good morning, Cornerstone friends. Let us spend time together moving closer to our God. Sing praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blest your children within you. He has established peace within your borders and satisfies you with the finest wheat. He...
Warm greetings, Friends. In the Lutheran Church, the singing of a hymn is introduced not by a simple ‘play over’ of the tune, but more often by a complex elaboration of the melody, either composed or improvised. Bach wrote several hundred such chorale preludes, covering the complete spectrum of the liturgical year. ‘Wenn wir in höchsten Nöthen sein’...
