SUMMER SMALL GROUP: THE BATTLE PLAN FOR PRAYER

It's not too late to join us! This eight week study on prayer will feature large group time led by Pastor Rich Higby with a DVD teaching, and transition to small group sessions.   The first session will be held this Wednesday, July 19. Join us in the MMC Youth Room at 7:30pm.

With nearly 20% of Paterson residents living below the poverty line, Cornerstone is on a mission this summer to give away 5,000 non-perishable food items and 1,000 lbs. of fresh produce to families in need. To participate in our Summer Harvest 2017 food drive, purchase any of these food items: Peanut butter, jelly, pasta, pasta sauce, canned vegetables, canned fruit, tuna, macaroni & cheese, cake mix, cake frosting, beans, rice and cereal. Drop off your items on Sundays in one of the designated food bins located at the exit doors in the MMC gallery until Sunday, September 10. 

Another Cornerstone summer outreach is Star of Hope's "Project Backpack." Many children in the city of Paterson start school every fall without the tools required to enable them to learn. Each backpack is filled with 30 essential educational supplies that will help children in the classroom. The goal is to give 1,500 kids in greater Paterson the opportunity to engage in learning $29 per backpack To buy a backpack visit: SOHM.org/backpack
