Dear Church Family:

On Sunday, March 26 we have an opportunity to support two summer mission teams from Cornerstone as they prepare for their respective trips to Joni & Friends Family Camp and the Yakama Indian Reservation. 

Every mission trip needs pray-ers, send-ers, and go-ers, and that means that the whole congregation is able to participate! We are thankful for how Cornerstone has supported these trips in the past and are looking forward to these opportunities to send our own teams out to serve. 

At Cornerstone we like to eat, so the upcoming Missions Fundraiser Cookout is a great opportunity to feast and fellowship with one another after the second service. There will also be a Bake Sale on site. The missions teams will be serving in various ways at the cookout. If you are unable to attend that day, you can still donate to the mission trips at the link below.

You can RSVP or Donate for the cookout HERE!

See pictures below from our Missions Fundraiser Cookout from last year!

Be on the lookout for missions team members in the narthex on Sunday between services with additional information.

Thanks!

Pastor Brian
