Eternal God, we praise and adore you for all that you are:
for being bigger than even our biggest questions; for caring more than we can fully comprehend.
We praise and adore you for your strength and your silence; for your power and your peace.
We praise and adore you for being in control and yet not controlling; for being in the storms and beyond them.
We praise and adore you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we praise you for ever.
Amen
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Friday evening’s prayers. Let us pray: Thank you, loving God, for making us the people we are, and helping us to understand that we are precious in your sight. With thankful hearts, we ask you to help us appreciate all that we experience in our daily lives – the people we...
Good morning, Cornerstone People, as we rise to greet the day with thanks, as we rise to meet the day with praise. As the sun appears and the showers clear, sing a psalm of the glory of the Lord. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me;...
A reading from Psalm 9 7 The Lord reigns for ever; he has established his throne for judgment. 8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. 9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never...
Rest in the Storm ‘These things I have spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage I have overcome the world.’ John 16: 33 NASB Charles Spurgeon told a story of how, during a sudden storm, a woman on a ship became very terrified....
Good morning, good people. Today the church remembers St Richard, Bishop of Chichester eight hundred years ago, but still remembered for his loving pastoral care of his people in troubled times. Blessed are those who fear the Lord and have great delight in his commandments. Their descendants shall be mighty in the land; a generation of...
Hello, everyone. The theme of rest and sleep runs through our music this evening. The Italian late baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti wrote nearly six hundred sonatas for keyboard. Many of them are boisterous and virtuosic, but tonight I have chosen the reflective Sonata in G minor to establish a mood of quiet contemplation. Sonata in G...
This Service was held via Zoom. Led by Revd Ernesto Lozada-Uzuriaga Preacher: Revd George Mwaura Introit: Holy Ground Call to Worship and Greetings Come as you are to the house of the Lord. Come with your mustard seed faith; come even with your great faith; come even without any faith. It is for you that God sent his...
By Revd George Mwaura Ezekiel 17: 22–24 and Mark 4: 26–34 God of wonders, we thank you because you have said to us that, when we pray with faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. Lord, we do have faith; please help our doubts not to override our faith in Jesus’ name. Amen...
God of grace and growth, you have called us to plant the seeds of your kingdom in the fields of your world,
and to trust you for their development and flourishing, and so we praise you.
We thank you for the abundance of your creativity, for the transforming nature of your Spirit,
for the power of small beginnings and for the mystery of hidden growth in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Friday evening’s prayers. Let’s start tonight with a hymn. I think the words of this one say it all, as they focus our minds on those things which are really important to us, but which we sometimes take for granted. ‘Think of a world without any flowers.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDfMFOuYbLs Haven’t we been...
In Praise of God’s Glorious Creation In the glory of this summer morning breathe in the scented air. In the cool of this summer morning rejoice in the colour of the brilliant dawn. At the beginning of this summer morning let us take time to praise God our Creator and Sustainer. Come, Cornerstone People, and let...
A reading from Psalm 92 1 It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, 2 proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, 3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. 4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing...
Praise to Our Sovereign God Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Psalm 8: 1 NIV® When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends on a lovely summer morning. Today we remember St Columba from the sixth century, who established an abbey on the island of Iona, still a centre of worship and a base for a large world-wide community of faith. Like us, Columba lived in uncertain times. Hear my teaching, O my people; incline...
