A reading from Psalm 90 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling-place throughout all generations. 2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3 You turn people back to dust, saying, ‘Return to dust, you mortals.’ 4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day...
Inspiring Christians history forgot ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.’ Matthew 7: 12 NIV® Vocab Malone, a Christian apologist, has written about the lives of eight black Christians whose achievements have been largely ignored, but whose faith, fervour and...
Good morning, good Cornerstone people. It is St Luke’s tide, and we often get a spell of warm weather at this time of year, but not, it seems, in 2020. It is going to be a cool and wet day, so before we do battle with the elements let us have a time to look at scriptures...

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....

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...

‘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...
