Dear Cornerstone Family,
It is hard to believe students are getting ready to start school again. Summer has flown by! I wanted to share an update with you about what has been happening in the Cornerstone student ministry. We took a group of students and chaperones to the Reformed Youth Ministry's High School Florida Conference. It was so much fun! Students went to seminars in the morning on various topics, enjoyed the beach and other activities in the afternoon, and then gathered for worship in the evenings. The speaker spoke on the topic of "Grace Alone." It was convicting and encouraging!
We have also been doing a July Wednesday night series on the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6. Prayer is a wonderful gift that Christ invites us to and equips us to do! Morgan High, our Student Ministry Coordinator, and I have been leading Monday Night Bible studies on the book of Jonah. It has been a joy to dive into the word this summer with them!
Thank you for your support and encouragement. Please continue to pray for us and our students to grow and know more of the love of Christ, and grow to love him, his church, and his mission.
His love never fails.
Chris Moody,
Assistant Pastor to Students and Families
