Evening Prayer Monday, 9 November 2020

I am not here to pass judgement or point the finger at anyone. My name was written in the sand as one who is forgiven. Strengthened with hope, impervious to shame, I will walk freely like the freshness of the dry lands after rain. Let light spill out of heaven through my life, dispelling mediocrity and...

Evening Prayer Friday, 6 November 2020

Good evening, everyone. Perhaps you had been looking forward to seeing a firework display at this time of year. Perhaps not. Fireworks are not the only things which some people assume that everyone will enjoy, without stopping to consider that there may be some people for whom the beauty of the display is tainted by more...

Morning Prayer Friday, 6 November 2020

Good morning, Cornerstone Friends and my Family in Faith! What a week this has been so far and today is still to come. Despite events of certainty, we remain in a world of turmoil and change. We thought we had learnt how to live with a communicable disease, but we are once again putting life on...

A reading from Psalm 78 1 My people, hear my teaching;   listen to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth with a parable;   I will utter hidden things, things from of old – 3 things we have heard and known,   things our ancestors have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their descendants;   we...

We Are Interdependent Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgement. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others? Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve – You only need a heart full of...

GET ORGANISED! By Douglas Malloch There may be nothing wrong with you, The way you live, the work you do, But I can very plainly see, Exactly what is wrong with me. It isn’t that I’m indolent, Or dodging duty by intent; I work as hard as anyone, And yet I get so little done. The...

Morning Prayer Wednesday, 4 November 2020

Good morning, good people, on this last day before we enter this period of four weeks of ‘lockdown’. We need to be assured of God’s abiding love for us to give us perseverance and his grace to know how we can share that love in these strange times. Let us consider his holy word and pray...

Evening Prayer Tuesday, 3 November 2020

Once you’ve heard a child cry out   to heaven for help, and go unanswered, nothing’s ever the same again. Nothing.  Even God changes.  But there is a healing hand at work that cannot be deflected from its purpose. I just can’t make sense of it, other than to cry. Those tears are part of what...

Morning Prayer Tuesday, 3 November 2020

If I chose to hide you away,   it is for a reason. I have brought you to this place. Drink in the silence.   Seek solitude.  Listen to the silence.  It will teach you. It will build strength Let others share it with you. It is little to be found elsewhere.  Silence will speak more to...

Evening Prayer Monday, 2 November 2020

Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face in the light of the moon and patterns of stars, in sacred mountain rifts and ancient groves, in mighty seas and creatures of the deep. Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face in the light of eyes we love, in the salt of...

Morning Prayer Monday, 2 November 2020

In the present moment By Anne Morrow Lindbergh Hurry is an unpleasant thing in itself, but also very unpleasant for whoever is around it. Some people came into my room and rushed in and rushed out and even when they were there they were not there – they were in the moment ahead or the moment behind.  Some people who came in...

Loving God, as the sun sets again at the end of another week, we thank you for all your blessings to us. We thank you for friends and family members who support us, all those we have the privilege of spending time with, or offering our help and support to, all those who bring us companionship....

Morning Prayer Friday, 30 October 2020

Good Morning to you all! We come together to thank the Lord for grace on this new day in Milton Keynes, this almost-the-last-day of October. If we were in Saxony today, in Germany, it would be holiday time. 31 October is celebrated as Reformation Day, so today is a good time to visit Martin Luther and...

A reading from the Book of Joshua 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant: 2 ‘Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the River Jordan into the land I am about to give to them...
