Dear Church Family and Friends,
Happy Friday to you all. Last Sunday was such a wonderful day of worship and celebration as we welcomed new members into our church family and witnessed two baptisms of our covenant children. Let us give thanks to the Lord for His blessing to us.
I wanted to update you on the current renovation and construction projects at Cornerstone. First, the renovations on the sanctuary, bathrooms, gathering room, and offices are coming right along. This Sunday, you may notice that some of the restricted areas are starting to open up. Please continue to be cautious in these areas and especially keep an eye on children as this is still a construction zone. The hope is that renovations will be completed in the next 6-8 weeks.
Also, the new campus improvement project that includes parking, a new entrance, and a playground is set to begin any day now. You will start to notice lots of heavy equipment and probably some significant landscape changes around the campus. Again, please use caution and keep an eye on children who I'm sure will be curious about the activities. We will send out as many advanced notices as we can to help you with parking and other safety measures.
Click here to learn more about these projects.
Please be praying for all these things. Continue to pray for patience. Pray for the safety of the construction workers. Pray for our building committee as they continue to advance these projects. Pray that the LORD would use all these projects to help us grow in our mission and vision as a church seeking to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
See you Sunday.
by His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
