By Revd George Mwaura Psalm 96 and Matthew 22: 15–22 Kingdom currency Lord may I speak in the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of your name and may our collective meditation be acceptable in thy sight. Amen A young lady was sunbathing on the beach in Cornwall when a little boy in his...
We praise you, Lord, for witnesses through the ages who have told your story and made you real to the next generation.
We thank you for people whose names are well known and prominent,
and we thank you for those whose names are long lost in the annals of history – but who are known to you.
We praise you for all whose good Christian lives have impacted on who we are, and what we are, and where we are.
We praise you that in every generation there are witnesses who stand out, who stand up to be counted, who make a difference to the Christian path. We praise you, Lord God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that we have been brought by word, by deed, by action to follow you.
Amen
I found this idea on the Methodist Church website. If you take three strands of wool or fibre, each one a different colour, then plait them slowly and thoughtfully, you can use them as a stimulus for your prayers The idea is to think of one colour representing God, one colour other people and one yourself....
Good Morning, friends! Today our invitation to prayer is in Psalm 5: 1–8: Listen to my words, Lord, consider my inmost thoughts; heed my cry for help, my King and God. For to you I pray in the morning knowing you will hear me. In the morning I lay my requests before you and keep watch...
A reading from Psalm 99 1 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name – he is holy. 4 The King is mighty, he loves justice – you...
Moving from the shoreline to the Saviour As Jesus walked along the beach, He ‘saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed...
Good morning good Cornerstone friends. I hope you are keeping safe and in good heart this morning. God’s gift to us is this new day with its autumn colours, let us thank Him for it and consider some scriptures together and pray. The Lord is King: let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of the isles...
‘Music to end the day’ begins tonight with a charming and sprightly Prelude in C, one of the ‘Eight Short Preludes and Fugues’ formerly attributed to J.S. Bach, but now thought more likely to be the work of his finest pupil, Johann Krebs. Krebs was a brilliant performer, second only to Bach, but he found it...

By Revd George Mwaura Isaiah 25:1–9 and Matthew 22:1–14 An invitation that demands our response Living God, we thank you for sending us your word with power over the years making this church a green pasture where the souls are nourished and healed in Jesus’ name. Amen In less than two months’ time, we will enter...
Faithful and loving God, we do not always feel like rejoicing.
Even as we gather to worship you, our minds are sometimes distracted and elsewhere,
weighed down by the burdens of our lives.
Help us, in this moment, to find it within our hearts
to REJOICE in your constancy and loving care for us
for we know you love us immensely.
Amen
Last Sunday, we celebrated Harvest. I don’t know how you felt, but if, like me, you joined the service on the internet, rather than in church, it may have seemed very strange not to be in the Worship Area, looking towards a Harvest display. Before we moved to Milton Keynes thirty years ago, I had always...
Good morning on this fresh autumn day! We can be thankful for the refreshment of night, the soft October light, the crisp chill of early day and the excitement of a busy Friday just beginning. Give thanks to the Lord for she is good and her mercy endures forever. Her unfailing love reaches to the heavens,...
A reading from Peter’s First Letter 1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them – not because you must, but because you are willing,...
Renewing our Minds Morning by morning He wakens me and opens my understanding to His will. Isaiah 50: 4b The season of autumn is typically one of new beginnings and fresh starts. Children going to school for the first time; many advancing from primary to secondary school; first-year university students looking forward to beginning their programme...
