By Revd George Mwaura Isaiah 9: 2–7 & Luke 2: 1–14 Wonderful Saviour, thank you for incarnating on earth to save the world.

Loving God, we come to you with heavy hearts,
remembering the six million Jewish souls murdered during the Holocaust.
In the horrors of that history, when so many groups were targeted
because of their identity, and in genocides which followed,
we recognise destructive prejudices that drive people apart.
Forgive us when we give space to fear, negativity and hatred of others,
simply because they are different from us.
In the light of God, we see everyone as equally precious manifestations of the Divine
and can know the courage to face the darkness.
Through our prayers and actions,
help us to stand together with those who are suffering,
so that light may banish all darkness, love will prevail over hate
and good will triumph over evil.
Amen

Good morning, all of you. Today is the feast of Epiphany, marking the visit of the wise men to Mary and Joseph and the infant Jesus in Bethlehem. Give the king your judgements, O God, and your righteousness to the son of a king. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall pay tribute, the...
Good morning, good people. Third week of Advent, so we are speeding our way to Christmas. I don’t know about you, but the time is rolling by so quickly and there seem to be so much to do before we get to Christmas. It will be good for us all to have a short period quietly...
Good evening, everyone. Traditionally on the third Sunday of Advent our thoughts turn to John the Baptist, and his proclamations of the coming of the Messiah. Tonight we begin with Charles Coffin’s great eighteenth-century hymn ‘On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry announces that the Lord is nigh’, set to the tune ‘Winchester New’, adapted from a...

This is the time for hope’s renewal.
We know Christ will bring righteousness
as surely as flowers will come again in spring.
Lord, we light candles to rage against the dark.
Keep us fierce and faithful bringers of hope.
Amen
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Friday evening’s prayers. At the end of the second week of Advent, let’s spend a little more time reflecting on the coming of Jesus. Each year during Advent we speak of Jesus coming into a world of darkness. There seems to be plenty of darkness around today. Anxiety and constraints related...
Advent Waiting Good morning to everyone joining the People of Christ the Cornerstone to greet this new day in prayer Let’s begin with Psalm 130: 5–8. I wait for the Lord with longing, I put my hope in his word. My soul waits for the Lord more eagerly than watchmen for the morning. Like those who...
