Newsletter | February 10, 2023
Dear Church Family and Friends,
As we now move into the second month of 2023, I want to give you a brief report on the Abounding and remodeling efforts. First of all, thank you for your generosity to Cornerstone as we seek to fulfill the mission and vision the Lord has given us. We cannot do it without your gifts, your prayers, and your support.
Architects, engineers, decorators, city officials, and a host of others have been busy at work with planning and design. Plans are almost complete on a parking lot design that accommodates the terrain on the north side of the gym. This additional parking will be a welcome relief to our parking challenges on Sunday morning. Additionally, design work is still moving forward on our remodeling efforts for inside the main building. Please be in prayer for your leadership and the different planning meetings that will be taking place over the next few months to make important decisions. We will be releasing more information as we have it but for now, please simply pray and continue to give toward Abounding as we move forward on these projects.
See you Sunday!
by His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
