O God, teach us the hidden wisdom of the Gospel,
so that we may hunger and thirst for holiness,
work tirelessly for peace,
and be counted among those who seek first the blessedness of your kingdom.
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
Good Evening, everybody. Welcome to our Friday evening prayer time. In our church, we often light a candle on the dais or the altar table during services and in normal times, though not at present, candles are available in the chapel for people to light if they wish when they come to pray. Some people find...
On this first Friday morning of the new month, let us raise our eyes and drink deeply of God’s new day. O Lord your glory is revealed in the morning. From the first glint of light on the pink-tinged hydrangea to the gentle whisper of the rising breeze as it stirs the stately bamboo. The...
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah 25 ‘To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?’ says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great...
How to Have a Good Day Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears...
Good morning, good Cornerstone friends. Are you sparkling, even if it is dull weather and rain today? Welcome to a new month. I hope you are not too jaded to join us in our prayers this morning. The Lord, the mighty God has spoken and called the world from the rising of the sun to its...
Our Gospel reading this morning reminded us of the importance of hospitality, of welcoming strangers. Jesus says that in so doing, we welcome God. At present, we are not able to welcome strangers to our church in the way we have been used to. So it is left to us as individuals to consider how best...

By Revd George Mwaura Jeremiah 28: 5–9; Matthew 10: 40–42 What are you worth? Let us pray together: Gracious God we pray that you would open our ears to hear your word and know your voice.

Living God, your Spirit draws us into your presence,
and so we gather in our own homes and houses,
drawn by love and upheld by grace to encounter Jesus, our Saviour.
We know him as our master and our friend.
In him we see you and know your love that sent him to us.
Spirit, Son and Father, we draw close in faith
to offer our praise and worship and we thank you for all the welcome we receive.
Help us to be always welcoming.
Amen
