If You Stand For Nothing You Will Fall For Anything By Lydia Preston  A time has come and it is now. Will you take a stand or bend your knee and bow? Will you state your case? Will you run this race or turn in disgrace, try to hide your face? You’ve spoken the word, and...

Fearlessness: Walking with the Shield of Faith When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56: 3 Sometimes life can give us more than we can handle. There are moments when our burdens topple the smooth plans we have made for our lives. Our natural tendency is to hold on to what we have,...

Evening Prayer for Monday, 27 July 2020

Memories By Jane Kim Memories in my life fade away As I replace them with others. They are forgotten and stored away. Although the memories are pushed to the side, They are safe so I may remember them in the future. Our mind is like a book; It writes down important things and keeps them between...

Good morning, Cornerstone friends. I feel a bit light headed this week. I had a haircut at the end of last week and had five months growth taken away. Are you getting any new experiences or are you still feeling weighed down by the monotony of being stuck at home? Today, 29 July, is the day...

Music to end the Day for Sunday, 26 July 2020

‘Ubisofts Caritas’ is one of the ancient Gregorian plainchants. The beautiful setting of French composer Maurice Duruflé from 1960 is one which we sing regularly at Cornerstone. Many will also be familiar with the simple Taizé setting from the 1970s, which we also sing. Last year we introduced into the repertoire the more recent setting by...
