God who calls us on our journey, as we remember Jesus’ time in the wilderness,
help us to cast aside those things that get in the way of hearing your word.
Help us to seek you in the places of bounteous beauty and of barren bleakness.
Help us to seek you in the faces of friends and in the smiles of strangers.
Help our devotion to be made real in the actions of our lives.
When we have looked deep into our own hearts and struggled with who we are,
send angels to minister to us and draw us out from our own wilderness
to fulfil our calling to serve you.
In Christ’s name.
Amen
Loving God, we approach Palm Sunday wanting to join with the crowd to praise the name of Jesus. But we acknowledge that, like them, we sometimes join in this praise unthinkingly, gaining more from the celebration of a service than we are prepared to put into it. So we ask you this evening to help us...
Good Morning! Welcome to our time of prayer on this Friday morning, as our Lent journey takes us towards a glorious Easter. Let’s praise God for protection and guidance: Lord of Life, whose loving care has brought us safely to the dawn of a new day, may we give thanks for your constancy – you are...
A reading from St John’s Gospel 7 … then he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go back to Judea.’ 8 ‘But Rabbi,’ they said, ‘a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?’ 9 Jesus answered, ‘Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the day-time will not...

Good morning, Cornerstone friends, on this spring day of clouds and gentle breezes, birdsong and blossom. Canticle ‘Bless the Lord’ from The Song of Three 29–30 & 34–35 (Just four verses from a longer prayer, with a fifth added in the Common Worship prayer book to make it relevant to us Christians): Blessed are you, the...
Warm greetings, all. I have crafted this offering of music around the key of F (major and minor), which I hope will lend unity and integrity to the sequence as a whole. We begin with one of the beautiful chorale preludes from Bach’s Orgelbüchlein, written for the Church in Weimer around 1716. The chorale melody, gently elaborated,...

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to our Friday evening prayers. On Sunday we read the introduction to Psalm 107, and those of you involved in the Lent study groups will know that this was also referred to in this week’s study. These verses refer to God’s unchanging love and his grace in extending that to everyone, throughout...
Welcome and Good Morning to you all wherever or whenever in the world you may be. Just four more weeks to go in this phase of pandemic lockdown – just a few more sleeps until we can begin to emerge from behind the barricades. Some words for today from Psalm 18: I love you, Lord my...
