Dear Church Family and Friends,
Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. (Psalm 127:1 ESV)
This past Sunday's worship back in the renovated sanctuary was wonderful! It was so good, we are going to do it again this Sunday…and all the Sundays after! Again, thank you to all who made that day possible with your time and talents. We are truly grateful.
This Sunday we have more to celebrate as we will welcome new members to our church family and have a baptism. Additionally, we are having a cookout after the second service to help raise funds for the summer mission teams. Please join us if you can to support the teams.
Finally, please be in prayer for a team of ten people from Cornerstone attending the Called to Counsel Biblical Counseling Conference in Fort Worth, Texas next week. Pray for safety and pray that the Lord would use this time to equip us to be wise counselors.
by His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
