Outdoor Worship Service

July 25 @ 10:00 am

Feel free to bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy the fellowship after the service!

To take advantage of the summer weather, we are holding our worship services outdoors on our back lawn on July 25. Bring your lawn chairs. And feel free to bring a picnic lunch, hang out with one another, and enjoy the summer fellowship!
In case of rain, we will worship indoors.

Please note: To simplify the setup, please be aware that we will not be live streaming the services on those Sundays. We will record the service and post it to our website in the following days.
Important Changes
for Children's classes
this Sunday (July 25)

We are anticipating a large attendance in the classrooms during our outdoor service this week. It's a good problem, but we have had to once again make some adjustments for this Sunday's classrooms.

  • Kindergarten through 6th grade - NO class. These children will attend the outdoor service with their parents. I'll have bags with crayons, a pencil, coloring pages, worship notes and snacks for them to pick up as they enter the back lawn for the worship service.
  • Preschool (3 - 5 year olds only) will meet in the Preschool Room.
  • 18 months through age 2 only will meet in the Toddler Room.
  • Under 18 months will meet in the Nursery.

As usual you will be given a security card when you drop off your child. However, if we need to reach you during the service we will text you. Please have your cell phone accessible during the service in case we need you!  

BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIRS!
Picnic: Take 2+

Friday, August 13th
6:00 PM

The weather kept us from playing outdoor games at our first picnic in July so we’re planning Picnic: Take 2+ on Friday, August 13, starting at 6:00 pm. 

What’s the plus? We’re adding an outdoor movie to the evening fun! 
Bring your own picnic and lawn chairs. We will provide bottled water, ice cream treats and popcorn!

Come enjoy fun for all ages: outdoor games, a preschool play area, a bounce house, and an inflatable obstacle course. At 8:30 p.m. we’ll enjoy a G-rated insect-filled movie (I can’t advertise the name online due to licensing, so you’ll have to guess what it is. Don’t forget your bug spray!)
Register now! Bring a friend (and register them too!)
Fill the Gap!

Here is your opportunity to live out your faith and ignite the next generation with a passion to love and serve God! 

The Children’s Ministry and the Together disAbility Ministry need YOU. There are opportunities in all classrooms: Nursery, Toddler, Preschool, and Elementary. Commitment is one Sunday a month starting in September.

Broadcasting each Sunday at 6:30 pm!
Spread the word!

Our program is called, "Delight in the Word," and features our Sunday messages. We're currently broadcasting an excellent series Pastor Paul preached through the book of Philippians.

Please be in prayer for the production of the programs, the maintenance of the website, and all the details. Pray also that God would use this weekly ministry to change hearts and lives.
Monthly Missions Highlight

JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Radio Service) is a non-profit organization that helps missionaries and groups around the world get practical, day-to-day support for Bible translation.

Cornerstone is sending over 20 of its members down to the JAARS home base in Waxhaw, North Carolina, at the end of July to help with projects that serve the needs of the JAARS community stationed there. 

Pray for: 
- Safe travel to and from North Carolina
- Safety and success during their work on the assigned projects
- God to open the hearts of the participants to be his servants and learn new things about him

WORTH PONDERING
"No time to pray? Had you time to dress? If you had purposed to pray, you would have prayed."

-C.H. Spurgeon
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
