We are doing shoeboxes this year again! COVID-19 has interfered with our collection process, but we want to still help the children. Many of their countries have been severely affected by the virus too.
Three ways you can help:
Thank you so much for participating and for making Christmas brighter for some children!
Fellowship Activities have been hard to come by since the Pandemic started. We are going to try doing a relaxed “Family Movie Night” on Friday, October 2, at 6:30 PM in the Large Fellowship Hall. We will be showing the wonderful fun movie, “The Borrowers.” You can sit in family groups to be socially distanced, but be close enough to fellowship!
Pre-packaged Snacks and drinks will be provided. So come and join us for this fun time of fellowship!
It’s time for “Trunk or Treat!” We know this has been such a tough year for everyone. But we will be having our annual “Trunk or Treat.” We will have the “Trunk” portion only this year outside. But we hope you will tell your family and friends and bring the kids by to be part of the fun!
Join us on Thursday, October 22, from 5:45-7:30 PM! NO MEAL will be served this year, but there will be plenty of candy for the kids! We look forward to seeing you! Everyone welcome!
We hope you will join us Sunday night, October 4, at 6 pm for a special showing of the film, “Before the Wrath.” This Christian Documentary is “a powerful film that provides a timely message of comfort and hope based on true discoveries from the time of Christ. Researchers in the Middle East present new evidence and shocking insight on the biblical prophecies of Christ’s second coming. Before the Wrath reveals how and why he will return for His Bride—Christians who faithfully wait for the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.”
Watch the Trailer for the Movie above.
There is no charge to see this movie. A Discussion Guide will be provided. It is 84 minutes long. We hope to see you there!
NOTE: No childcare provided, but we love having children in the Sanctuary with us. There is a Restless/Sensory Room available just outside the Sanctuary that has audio from the service.
Beginning October 11, we will begin having a Sunday Night Bible Study at 6 PM in the Sanctuary. We will study the book of Daniel using a Video Series by Dr. David Jeremiah, “Agents of Babylon.” I know this study will be a tremendous blessing to you and hope you will make plans to attend. We will not have a music service, only the Bible Study.
Here are the 12 Lessons of the Study:
NOTE: Once we return to having one Morning Worship Service when the need for Distancing has passed, this will resume being our Evening Worship Service, with the study as the Evening Sermon.
The annual Global Hunger Offering for Southern Baptist Relief Ministries will kickoff October 11. Our church has established a goal for 2020 of $3,000 to help with this vital Relief Effort. All funds given will be sent to “Send Relief” – the entity established by Southern Baptists to fund Relief Efforts around the world.
These funds help with our Baptist Global Response to disasters, and to help bring food and clean water to people all over the world. We hope you will consider giving to this important Missions effort during October. Thanks for you generous and faithful giving!
The Rheubin L. South Missouri Missions Offering is our annual State Missions Offering. Cornerstone’s goal for 2020 is $2,100. Your Gifts through MMO stay right here in Missouri and support a multitude of ministries that help share the Good News of Jesus, make disciples, multiply churches, and develop leaders.
You can give throughout September and into October, and every penny given to this special offering will be sent to our Missouri Baptist Convention, which is headquartered here in Jefferson City.
I hope this finds all of you doing well, continuing to weather the bizarre year that 2020 is. None of us could have ever predicted back on January 1 that this year would unfold as it has. But God is faithful, and He has walked with us and gone before us every step of the way. This has been a faith-building year!
As a church, we continue to try and meet the needs around us. We will continue to offer two Sunday morning services for the foreseeable future, 8:30 & 10:30 am, because it allows us to block off every other pew in order to provide some distancing. I know not everyone feels this is necessary, but there are many who do, and this helps more people feel they can get out and come to church for worship. Please know that we are trying to do the very best we can to navigate these issues and these times in the best way possible. Our 10:30 service will continue to be broadcast online each week, and Children’s Church (4-4th grade) is available in that service.
On October 4, we will be showing a Christian Documentary Film, “Before the Wrath,” at 6 pm. The film is 84 minutes long, and it focuses on recently rediscovered anthropological evidence from the time of Christ that relates to the coming Rapture of the Church ahead of the Great Tribulation Period. No one knows when the Lord will return, but we know that He will! This film helps us to think about His return and clearly presents the Gospel to help people be prepared for that glorious day. A Discussion Guide for the film will be provided. There is no charge. So invite friends and family to join us!
Beginning Sunday night, October 11, we will have a Sunday night Bible Study at 6 pm. We will study the book of Daniel using a Video Series by Dr. David Jeremiah, “Agents of Babylon.” I know this study will be a tremendous blessing to you and hope you will make plans to attend. We will not have the song service, so as not to put too much on our accompanists since they are already doing two Sunday Morning Services. But this will provide another avenue for Bible Study together. It should last 30-45 minutes each Sunday Evening. I hope you will bring your Bible and join us!
Plans are being made for us to have our annual “Trunk or Treat” Outreach in October. It will have to be done differently this year, and we have some faithful folks working on those details. We will be sharing more soon about the date and how you can help. Just pray God will lead us, and will use it as a strong witness for Him!
It is a joy to Pastor this great church. I have been blessed beyond words to see your faithfulness to give and to serve through these very trying times. God is using this to make us stronger and more effective as we live for Him. Let me know if I can be of help to you, and always know I am praying for you and your family. May God bless you, and may He use us together for His Glory!

We have resumed having Children’s Church classes during our 10:30 am Worship Service!
We have workers ready and able to teach children ages 4 years old – the 4th grade. You can take children 4 years old through Kindergarten directly to the classroom downstairs BEFORE the service begins. The 1st-4th grade children will be with family in the Worship Service until time for the sermon, and will leave when directed prior to the sermon beginning. The older kids will be in the Large Fellowship Hall for Children’s Church.
A big “Thank You” to our workers making it possible to resume this important teaching time for our Children!
Our 8:30 am service continues to be an option for Worship. However, we will only have Children’s Church during the 10:30 am service. We look forward to seeing you soon!
