The Epistle (12/06/24)

For any and all who are interested in participating in a Christmas Handbell choir, please come to the sanctuary on Sundays at 4pm for rehearsal. Even if you cannot read music we can get you started. Let's ring in the season together.

Please reach out by December 15th to our Director of Music if you wish to participate. We want to allow people to bring their gifts to Christ and encourage the congregation during this celebration.

Volunteers collect, warehouse, and deliver furniture - free of charge - to needy families in the Annandale vicinity.  Check out the ACCA webpage  www.ACCAcares.org/furniture.html to see if you can donate items that are needed.  There is an opportunity to help, along with Cornerstone people and members of other local churches, from 8:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday, December 14th at the ACCA warehouse at the intersection of Gallows Road and Columbia Pike. Thank you.

Beginning in the first week of January, we will be inviting you to memorize verses of Scripture with us every week in 2025. The verses will we memorize are from Truth78's “Fighter Verses.” Our children will be memorizing the same verses every week, so this is a great way for parents to join their kids in hiding God’s Word in their hearts. Truth78 has lots of great resources to aid in Scripture memory, including verse cards, devotional tools, and an app. You can find more information by visiting www.fighterverses.com.

Several of Cornerstone's domestic and international ministry and missionary partners have provided annual, written ministry reports and updates to 2024 wins and challenges. These are a great testament to the LORD's faithfulness and a helpful resource as Cornerstone evaluates future financial support.  If you'd like to receive a copy from a particular partner, please email outreach@cornerstoneefree.org.

Join us at 6PM on December 8 in the Fellowship Hall as we celebrate the Christmas season with our Cornerstone Church family. Bring your favorite soup to share. Grilled cheese sandwiches will be provided.
The children will perform a short and sweet Christmas play. There will be cookie decorating and a Christmas craft.
