The Epistle (4/26/24)

This Sunday (April 28), Sea Don, an International Friends participant from Ivory Coast, is collecting hygiene products and basic clothing items for Central Union Mission.  Sea had recently participated in a recent Cornerstone-led visit to the facility.  Central Union Mission is seeking unused toothpaste, toothbrushes, disposable razors, shampoo, deodorant, soap, socks, etc.  He will be positioned in the narthex at the round tables to collect these items after Sunday service.  

On April 28th, Fulaa Lifeline will join with the Sudanese African Fellowship for a Fulaa ministry update including the October 2023 visit to the Cornerstone Children’s Home in Adjumani, Uganda.  We’ll be meeting at Cornerstone in the Fellowship Hall (upstairs in the Education Building) at 6pm.  Fulaa has been asked by a number of Cornerstone members to provide an update and this event is a great opportunity to learn and enjoy great fellowship. Please join us.  Reach out to Samuel or Esther Juma or Steve Nye to learn more

We plan on hosting Vacation Bible School  this year on August 5th-9th, 9:30am-12:15. Please let Ursula know how you can serve during the week by singing up by May 1st. Early responses help us in our planning, as we need to be sure we have enough volunteers to move forward. Thanks for serving and helping to share the gospel with our kids!

There will be a training session at 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 4th in the Narthex and Sanctuary for all those currently serving as Ushers, Communion Preparers, and on the Tech Team, as well as anyone interested in learning how to serve in any of these role. We'll begin by addressing safety issues, including AED training and general first aid, then breaking into groups for specific training for Ushers, Communion Preparation, Sound Board, Slides, and Video/Camera Operations. Refreshments will be provided.  For more information, click the button below to contact Pat Frakes, our Deacon for Worship.

Please join us on Saturday, May 11th from 9-11am for our next Women’s Testimony Brunch. We are delighted to hear from two of our Cornerstone missionaries, Esther Horner and Anissa Tyler. If making or contributing food is a delight for you, please let Robyn know so she can help coordinate our gathering.

We also have a unique opportunity to serve our local Young Lives chapter directly following the brunch (11am-1pm). We need many volunteers to help us sort donations and set up for our Spring “Pop up” shop for teen moms. We are collecting donations now for “like new” kids clothing (spring/summer only), car seats, strollers, toys, books, sheets/towels, etc. You can also help us meet urgent needs by purchasing items like diapers from our YLVS Amazon Wish List. All women, high school girls, and friends are welcome! RSVP preferred, but not required.
