Pastor's Corner - Christmas season

Dear Friends,

I hope that you had a chance this past week to read the news about Brian Russ, candidate to become our new Assistant Pastor. If you missed the newsletter about the Russes, please click here.

Looking ahead to the Christmas Holidays, let me encourage you and your family to take the time to focus on worship and preparation. This is an important part of Advent - we anticipate, we prepare, we worship Christ the King! One way you can do this is to read and meditate for yourself on the Songs of Christmas found in Luke 1 and 2. Another way you can do this is to make corporate worship and fellowship and key part of your holiday plans.
This Sunday, prepare your hearts for the Sacrament of Communion; an important means of grace that Jesus has given to the church. Additionally, on Sunday evening, December 20th at 6pm, we will have a fun time of food and fellowship at our first ever Cornerstone Family Christmas. The program will begin in the sanctuary and then we will gather downstairs for fellowship, hot chocolate and cookies!  And finally, on Christmas Eve at 6pm, we will have a special Christmas Eve Service to celebrate the birth of our Savior and King. Please make plans to arrive early to make room for many family members.
Merry Christmas!
By His grace and to His praise, your pastor,
Wilson
