The Epistle (5/10/24)

Please check the Lost and Found bin under the coat rack in the narthex. All items that have not been claimed will be donated on May 20th.

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!

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.

Dean Short, a Cornerstone supported EFCA/ReachGlobal missionary, will be with us on Sunday, May 19 with two great opportunities to connect. First, Dean will be teaching an Adult Sunday School lesson in the Bereans class (Fellowship Hall). Then, following church service, please join Dean for an update and lunch in the Adelphos Room on plans to transition from Cyprus to a new opportunity in the region. Contact Joellen Binder to join for lunch.

Please join us as we gather to pray together as a congregation on Sunday, May 19th, from 6:00-7:00 PM in the sanctuaty.

Celebrate with your church family on June 2nd, 12:30pm, as the school year comes to a close. Cornerstone will provide the main dish. Please bring a side that would feed about 10 people, and would go well with a picnic: salad, baked beans, chips and dip, dessert, etc. In addition to the picnic, the Preschool, 3rd and 4th, as well as 6th Grade children will be promoted, and Sunday School teachers will be celebrated.  Are you interested in helping set-up? Please let Cristin Perry.

Join us June 9th at 6pm for Grad Night in the Fellowship Hall! This night is a special time to be able to celebrate and encourage our graduating seniors as they transition into the next phase of life. We will be catering dinner for this event and will have a donation basket to help cover the cost as well as raise funds for the upcoming trip to Challenge.
