Footprints Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there; if I make my bed in the depths you are there. even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139: 7, 8,10 NIV® Many...
Good morning, good Cornerstone friends. Are you ready for a new day? Behold how good and pleasant it is to dwell together in unity. It is like precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, Even on Aaron’s beard, running down upon the collar of his clothing. It is like the dew of Hermon...
In the Lutheran Church, it is common practice for each hymn to be introduced, not by a simple ‘player’ of the tune, but by a fully developed ‘chorale prelude’, either composed or improvised. J.S. Bach wrote hundreds of magnificent chorale preludes, covering every Sunday of the Church’s year and a wide range of liturgical themes. ‘Wenn...

We come to your house, Lord, to join our sisters and brothers in your praise.
So many people in this world are prevented from worshipping you
or reaching their true potential, by different challenges.
Some are oppressed while others lack confidence in their own abilities.
Use us, Lord, to reach out to them and lift them.
Show them that you love and value them for who they are, not what they have.
You were able to use ordinary people like fishermen and bring out the best in them
in order to spread your word of love, peace, joy and justice.
Be close, now to those on the margins and wrap them in your arms we pray.
Amen

Events like this shock people throughout the world, though how they feel and their thoughts about why they happen and how to address the issues which gave rise them may vary considerably. Friday is the...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends and welcome guests! We begin today with verses from Psalm 143: I call to mind times long past; I think over all you have done. The wonders of your creation fill my mind. I thirst for you like a thirsty land. I lift my outspread hands to you. Lord, answer me soon;...
A reading from John’s first letter 11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: we should love one another. … 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. … 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ...
Trust in God’s Protection Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9: 10 NIV® In the opening verse we are reminded of the importance of knowing who God is and trusting in Him. This does not mean that if we trust in God...
Good morning, Cornerstone people. Let us get ready to share some thoughts to set us up for the day. Firstly, I am sorry that those of you who cannot use the voice recording did not get a written script last week. It was all my fault. I am not brilliant using my computer and kept sending...

Sermon by Revd George Mwaura If you think church conflict is something new, then you haven’t been in church long enough. There is a church I read about where the Minister and the Director of Music were not getting along. As time went by, this began to spill over into the worship service. During the first week...
Almighty God, we tremble as we think of who we are and who you are.
Bring us now, in this moment, to know you.
See us as we are, and see our yearning to be more like you.
May we lay aside anything that hinders our journey with you,
and with our friends and neighbours and we ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Good evening, Cornerstone friends. How have you been feeling over the last few days? Are you appreciating having more time? Fed up with the change of routine and longing for life to be more normal? Finding that you are becoming less cautious? If you are like me, you’ve probably experienced all these feelings – and more....
