Good evening, friends. Welcome to our Friday evening prayer time. I’m one of those who has been living a very different life for the last five months or so. From having a diary filled with appointments and meetings, out of the house for at least a couple of days a week, and parts of other days,...
Good morning, Cornerstone Family and Friends. Welcome to the conclusion of a hot and steamy, wet and stormy week. Let’s begin with a reading from 1 John 4: 7–16. My dear friends, let us love one another, because the source of love is God. Everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God, but...
Psalm 138 1 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the ‘gods’ I will sing your praise. 2 I will bow down towards your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame. 3 When I called, you...

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...
