Good morning, people of God. We have arrived at the end of another week and another month. Let’s begin the day in thanks for the light and set aside some moments to connect with God and the new opportunities brought by this Friday. Hello, Lord! Great is your love in bringing me safely through the night...
A reading from Psalm 145 8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. 9 The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. 14 The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give...
Fearlessness: Walking with the Shield of Faith When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56: 3 Sometimes life can give us more than we can handle. There are moments when our burdens topple the smooth plans we have made for our lives. Our natural tendency is to hold on to what we have,...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends. I feel a bit light headed this week. I had a haircut at the end of last week and had five months growth taken away. Are you getting any new experiences or are you still feeling weighed down by the monotony of being stuck at home? Today, 29 July, is the day...
‘Ubisofts Caritas’ is one of the ancient Gregorian plainchants. The beautiful setting of French composer Maurice Duruflé from 1960 is one which we sing regularly at Cornerstone. Many will also be familiar with the simple Taizé setting from the 1970s, which we also sing. Last year we introduced into the repertoire the more recent setting by...

By Revd David Moore The first time I conducted public worship was in a tiny Methodist Chapel in the village of Hinton Charterhouse, which is six miles from Bath where I lived. I was nineteen. Dorothy accompanied me and, as the organist was sick, had to play the harmonium! We travelled by bus. It was winter and...
Provident Father,
with the prayer your Son taught us
always on our lips,
we ask, we seek, we knock at your door.
In our every need,
grant us the first and best of all your gifts,
the Spirit who makes us your children.
We ask this 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
It’s now over four months since we last met at Christ the Cornerstone, and most of the services we offered from our building during each week were suspended at the same time. For several years now, I have had the privilege of serving as one of our team of Pastoral Workers, who are available to speak...
Good Morning, my Cornerstone Family, and welcome to seekers and wanderers who have arrived at our website today. We give thanks for this new day and join in prayer for ourselves and our world as we set about our daily rounds. Beginning today, covering your face is required in shops – how strange that something once...
A reading from Psalm 16 1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’ 5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant...
Names are Important Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds Psalm 68: 4 Have you ever wanted to change your name or wondered who you would be without a name? When I was a child my mother told me why I was named Glynne. While attending Bethlehem Teachers’...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends. Are you ready for the day? Let us gather before we all get involved with all the things we have to do today. Today is the feast of St Mary Magdalene and Ernesto has shared us some thoughts about her, written by Fr Richard Rohr, so I need not dwell on it....
Hello, everyone. Some years ago, I was privileged to visit the Iona Community. The peace, tranquility and calm of that holy place touched me very deeply. In times of difficulty and stress, my thoughts always turn to Iona, and the wonderful people I met there. Our ‘Music to end the day’ this evening is a great...
