Wise and gracious God,
you spread a table before us
and nourish your people with the word of life
and the bread from heaven.
In our sharing of these holy gifts,
show us our unity in you
and give us a taste of the life to come.
We make our prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen
As we are a scattered congregation at present, in many ways our relationship with some members of our own congregation has become similar to our relationship with other Christians world-wide – we know that we have a common bond in Christ, but we have little other direct contact with one another. Fortunately, some of us are...
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah 6 A voice says, ‘Cry out.’ And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’ ‘All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. 7 The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 8 The...
God Will Wipe away Our Tears God Himself will be with them and be their God, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 21: 3–4 What do you call a drop of water that contains mucin, lipids, lysozyme, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, glucose, urea, sodium and potassium? It’s a tear. All land mammals (except...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends. Are you ready for the new day? It could be another hot one, but we may get some much needed rain later. Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my prayer. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart has trusted in him and I am...
Good evening everyone. I hope your day has been wonder full. This morning I suggested that there should perhaps be a seventh sense: that of wonder. However, during the day I noticed the wonder of the smell of a beautiful red rose and also a Lemon Drizzle cake baking. I wondered at the sight of autumn...
Good morning everyone and welcome to our time together in prayer and praise this morning. Let us start with a prayer from Bridgid of Gael from the first century who is one of the Patron Saints of Ireland. I arise today Through a mighty strength: God’s power to guide me, God’s might to uphold me, God’s...

God of all power,
your sovereign word comes to us in Christ.
When your Church is in danger, make firm our trust;
when your people falter, steady our faith.
Show us in Jesus your power to save,
that we may always acclaim him as Lord,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen
A reading from Mark’s Gospel The Transfiguration 2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah...

By Professor Steve Smith Hi, my name’s Steve Smith, and I’ve been asked by Ernesto just to give a ten- or fifteen-minute reflection on this book I’ve just finished. The book’s called Wrestling ’til Daybreak, and it has a subtitle, rather a long subtitle, called A Spiritual Guide for Disconnected Christians and Other Questioning Journeyers. So,...
Bountiful and compassionate God,
you place in the hands of your disciples the food of life.
Nourish us at your holy table,
that we may bear Christ to others and share with them
the gifts we have so richly received.
We make our prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen
