Dear Cornerstone Family,
I hope all of you had a wonderful Independence Day celebration!
This Sunday, July 7, we welcome our friend Dr. Andy Wyatt to our pulpit. He is the senior pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Johnson City, TN. He will preach from 1 Kings 16:29-17:7 if you would like to read in those chapters before the sermon on Sunday.
I also wanted to share the video from Joni & Friends camp. The theme of the week was "Harvest Time: Bearing Fruit for the Father" and so a wonderful prayer to pray would be that campers, families, and volunteers continue to bear fruit as God works in them by His Spirit.
Joni and Friends Alabama Week 2
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday!
