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...

By Revd Tim Clapton Well hello – it is lovely to join you, Christ the Cornerstone, for your Sunday worship, if only in a digital sort of way. I lived and worked in Milton Keynes about ten years ago. It is amazing how time flies. I now serve as a Prison Chaplain in London. As some of...
Eternal God, you draw near to us in Christ and make yourself our guest.
Amid the cares of our daily lives,
make us attentive to your voice and alert to your presence,
that we may treasure your word above all else.
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
As we come to the end of another week, I imagine we will all have much thank God for – people who have touched our lives, experiences which have brought joy or blessings to us, people who have thought of us, contacted us or prayed for us. So, this evening, I thought I would provide an...
Sometimes you just want to run away – not from the danger of contagion, nor from the dangers of the dark. Will nothing ever change? Will the Archers never have a full cast of characters again? Sometimes the monotony of one day merging into another makes you yearn to be somewhere – anywhere – that is...
A reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants...
He Knows My Name I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27: 13 NIV® When you choose to see things from God’s perspective, it changes how you feel. The only thing keeping your old negative feelings in place is your thinking. As he...
Good morning, Cornerstone friends. Today is St Swithun’s day. Swithun was an Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Winchester who died in 862. He was a loving pastor and humble, asking to be buried in the common burial ground. He was so venerated that, later, the cathedral authorities moved his remains into the cathedral building, to make a shrine...
Hello, everyone. As you can imagine, it has been a real sadness for me during this lockdown period not to be able to make music with friends and colleagues (choirs, solo singers, instrumentalists), which in normal times forms such an important part of my weekly routine. So it has been a real joy and solace to...
