*******MISSION CORNER*******
Looking for a way to serve as a small group? Young Life Capernaum is an outreach ministry to students with special needs. On April 12-14, Capernaum students are participating in a Spring Day Camp at Cornerstone. Each attendee will get his/her very own Jesus Storybook Bible to take home. If you are interested in helping with this very special club or to sponsor this unique ministry, please contact Esther Horner at ehorner19@gmail.com.

IF PRAYER REQUEST
Sharing the IF Prayer Guide through the Remind App will communicate areas needing prayer within IF to the larger church community. We plan on sending our updated weekly prayer guides every Wednesday morning. Those members and attendees who wish to pray for IF and the specific areas of need within the ministry can opt to receive SMS messages every Wednesday at 9 am. These messages will include a brief “thank you for praying for us” and a bullet point graphic with the listed prayer requests.

The C.S. Lewis Fellows Program (individual growth, disciple-making) and the Colson Fellows Program (Christian worldview, new to Cornerstone) are two opportunities to learn and go deeper in your faith. Consider applying today for either of these programs.
C.S. LEWIS INSTITUTE (CSLI) FELLOWS PROGRAM – Is God Calling You to a
Deeper Relationship with Him?
Focusing on individual growth and disciple-making, the CSLI Fellows Program challenges and guides you on your journey towards spiritual maturity with an emphasis on heart and mind discipleship. CSLI Fellows continue in their careers while participating in this tuition-free, year-long program, and requirements are designed to be achievable even for busy professionals with families. The CSLI Fellows program focuses on discipleship of both heart and mind. It involves Bible study, classic readings, lectures, group processing, personal spiritual mentoring and accountability—all in the context of a small group of like-minded believers. For more information and applications visit www.cslewisinstitute.org/washington-dc/ or ask Fellows alumni John Mays or Joellen Binder.
Key Dates: May 23: Orientation – 7:30 pm; June 8: Summer Kick-Off Meeting – 8:15 am- 12:00 pm; Sept 6-8: Fall Retreat, Fri 8:00 am – Sun 12:00 pm, White Sulphur Springs, PA. Beginning Oct 5, the Fellows meet the first Saturday of each month here at Cornerstone, 8:15 am – 12:00 pm.
Accepting Applications through April 15, 2024.
COLSON FELLOWS PROGRAM (CFP)
Colson Fellows are a diverse community of discerning Christ-followers who know that often our everyday existence doesn’t look all that different from the way our non-Christian neighbors live. Most of our lives may look ordinary, but as C.S. Lewis reminds us, “There are no ordinary people.” Not when we are each made in God’s Image for an eternal destiny. CFP is a ten-month exploration of the Christian worldview and a dynamic and lifelong fellowship of believers committed to living courageously and faithfully – in the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances of these times. Accepting applications for the July 2024 – May 2025 Academic Year until June 30, though there is a cost increase after June 5. For more information and applications visit https://www.colsonfellows.org/ or talk to Steve Nye, Class of 2023.
Beginning July 1, 2024, Colson Fellows meet one Saturday of each month either locally in-person or with an online cohort.
