The Epistle (03/30/25)

“[But] far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”                
  Galatians 6:14

Transition to the electronic lock system for access to Cornerstone buildings will be complete on March 31st.  If you still have old keys to the exterior doors, please return them to the church office.
If you need access to any of the Cornerstone buildings when they are normally locked, you can request access privileges at https://cornerstoneefree.org/building-access-request or email access@cornerstoneefree.org for more information.

On April 13, Cornerstone supported medical missionary, Dr Matt Kynes will be joining for Sunday worship.  Please consider joining for a light lunch and learn opportunity following church service.  Dr Kynes will share on the Christ-centered care and “on mission” medical community serving at Kijabe Hospital and how he and his family are finding opportunities to serve both inside and outside medicine.  You’ll also get an opportunity to learn about an upcoming vision and fundraising trip in October 2025 to partner with Friends of Kijabe to support needed dorm-style, residence housing. 

All are invited to join Esther Horner and Young Life for a prayer walk on Sunday, April 27, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.  We'll meet in front of Justice High School (3301 Peace Valley Lane). Contact Gretchen at gretchennutz@gmail.com with any questions.

SERVICE
Provide a Wednesday night meal for IF during the spring semester and help feed students who are hungry for food and the Good News. You or your community group can sponsor a meal. Some crowd favorites that many Cornerstone supporters have helped with over the years include: lasagna, chili & cornbread, pasta with toppings, make-your-own taco/burrito bar, roasted drumsticks and veggies, baked potatoes with chili, pizza (we're happy to take monetary donations for purchasing), rotisserie chicken and salad, rice and beans with meat topping, and chicken tortilla soup.
PRAYER
Partner with International Friends through prayer. By registering, you will be paired with students to pray for throughout the Spring semester.

Do you long for more in your walk with Christ? What does it look like to hunger and thirst for God? Is the desire of your heart to know him intimately and follow him faithfully? The Immanuel Bible Church women’s conference will delve into:          
• Loving God—which grows out of knowing him as he has revealed himself        
• Loving His Word—which grows out of plumbing its depths and excavating its truths          
• Loving His People—which grows out of reflecting the love of Christ to those around us

If you are interested in attending, you can learn more at ibc.church/deeply, or talk to Susan Thibadeau.

Come and engage with other women as you grow in your relationship with God
