Live in My Love – John 15: 9–17 Good morning to all who are preparing to get started on this last Friday in May with a holiday on Monday to anticipate, a week away from school to look forward to. Let’s praise God for the goodness of this new day. Glorious God thank you for the...
A reading from Paul’s letter to the Romans Life through the Spirit 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do...

THOSE DANCING DAYS ARE GONE by W.B. Yeats Come, let me sing into your ear; Those dancing days are gone, All that silk and satin gear; Crouch upon a stone, Wrapping that foul body up In as foul a rag: I carry the sun in a golden cup. The moon in a silver bag. Curse as...
Good morning, good Cornerstone people. We are back worshipping in church but not yet all singing. The sun comes up, there’s a new day dawning, it’s time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes. Remember not against us our former sins; let...
FRAGMENT by Sappho The moon has set In a bank of jet That fringes the Western sky, The pleiads seven Have sunk from heaven And the midnight hurries by; My hopes are flown And, alas! alone On my weary couch I lie. Good evening and welcome to Evening Prayer That this evening may be holy, good...
O ME! O LIFE! by Walt Whitman O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean,...
WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR by Rabindranath Tagore Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;...
TREES by Mark Haddon They stand in parks and graveyards and gardens. Some of them are taller than department stores, yet they do not draw attention to themselves. You will be fitting a heated towel rail one day and see, through the louvre window, a shoal of olive-green fish changing direction in the air that swims...
Dear Friends, We begin our musical sequence for Pentecost Sunday with the beautiful Aria from Bach’s Variations written for the keyboard player Johann Goldberg. Goldberg was a student of Bach. He was also musician to the Russian Ambassador to the Electoral Court of Saxony, and told Bach that he was often required to play late into the night...
I wonder how you may be feeling about coming out of lock-down. Perhaps, like me, you have had a quite different experience during the last year or so, and have got used to life at a slower pace. Or you may be itching to get back to those activities which you have really missed for the...
Hush! Can you hear the Spirit? Hello and welcome to morning prayer on another day of showers and sunshine with expectation of some strong gusting winds. Let us praise the Lord together! Thank you, O God, for the breaking of this new day, for the light and warmth brought by the dawn, for the sound of...
A reading from Psalm 33 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. 13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling-place he watches all who live on earth – 15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. 16 No king...
God’s Peace The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 7 The Hebrew word translated ‘peace’ in the Old Testament is ‘shalom’, meaning wholeness. The uncut stones from which Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal were literally ‘shalom stones’ (Joshua 8: 31). The...
FOUR IN THE MORNING by Wislawa Szymborska The hour from night to day. The hour from side to side. The hour for those past thirty. The hour swept clean to the crowing of cocks. The hour when earth betrays us. The hour when wind blows from extinguished stars. The hour of and-what-if-nothing-remains-after-us. The hollow hour. Blank,...
