Dear Church Family and Friends,
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD! Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! (Psalm 122:1–2 ESV)
I know this feeling described by the psalmist here in Psalm 122! As the pilgrims longed to be in Jerusalem to worship, feast, and celebrate with God's people, they longed to be in that place as they journeyed to the holy city.
And we, Cornerstone, have been longing to be back in our sanctuary to worship and that day has finally come! This Sunday, April 14th, we will be back in the sanctuary and have access to the newly renovated areas. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
A special thank you to our building committee who have worked so diligently for the past months to oversee this project to completion.
May God help us as we seek to be a community of Christ's followers who worship, grow, and serve together to glorify God in Huntsville and throughout the world ... in our newly renovated space!
See you Sunday!
by His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
We’re ready to worship in our new sanctuary this Sunday!
