What a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School we had this past week, June 5-9! We had a total enrollment of 130, with a very consistent attendance around 120 each night. Our high single day attendance was 128, with a low of 107 (final night).

We had one attendee indicate they had accepted Jesus Christ as Savior! There were many others asking questions, and we know that many seeds of the Gospel were planted in the lives of all who attended!

I cannot thank all of our teachers and workers enough! You are amazing! The amount of time and energy put forward to plan for and carry out Vacation Bible School is a tremendous commitment, and you all make me proud as a Pastor (I think it’s fine to be proud of that!). A special thank you goes out to my wife Rose, and to Pam Jeffries for leading the planning and organizing effort. Ya’ll did a fantastic job!

Only God knows just how much this week meant, and will mean in the lives of those who attended! May God be praised and glorified in the days and years to come because of what took place in VBS 2022.

Easter Sunday is a glorious day! We celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He is alive! That profound truth changes everything. We hope you will spend the morning with us – all or part of it – in celebrating the Risen Lord. Here’s the schedule:

• 7:00 AM – Easter Sunrise Service
• 8:00 AM – Easter Breakfast (cooked by the men of the church)
• 8:45 AM – Special Easter Activity for Children
• 9:30 AM – Sunday School for all ages
• 10:30 AM – Easter Worship Service – Children sing at the beginning, Adult Choir presents Easter Musical, “Day Three!”
• (No Evening Worship)

As you can see, it will be a great morning! It will be even better if you join with us to lift up our Savior who loves us, and is alive today!

Baptist Press write Karen Willoughby did a feature article on our church, which has been published at the Baptist Press website, and in our Missouri Baptist Convention Newspaper – The Pathway.

Baptist Press contacted Cornerstone for a feature article because we are a church that gives 10% each month to the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Cooperative Program funds a multitude of ministries, including providing a large portion of the funds for our missionaries serving around the world and here in North America.

GOAL: $5000 GIVEN (as of 3/13/23) $2460

Our church goal for the Easter Offering this year is $5,000, every penny of which will be sent to the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention to help support the thousands of missionaries serving all across North America.

You can give at the church using an envelope anytime through the end of April, or online to support this great effort to share Jesus with every person in North America. Thank you for your support!

We will be having a potluck meal on Sunday evening, March 6, at 5:30 PM to kickoff our Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions!

We hope you will bring some food to share (main dish and a side or dessert) and join us for this special evening of food, fellowship, and devotion as we focus on our efforts to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ across North America.

Our church goal for the Easter Offering this year is $4,800, every penny of which will be sent to the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention to help support the thousands of missionaries serving all across North America.

We hope to see you Sunday night, March 6, and thank you for supporting the cause of sharing Christ!

On Friday night, March 18 from 5:00-8:30 PM, we continue with our monthly “Parents Date Night” ministry!

We have loved providing this ministry once a month (usually the 2nd Friday of the month) to help parents who work so hard in raising their children. We provide a great Pizza Night Meal for everyone, and then have classes for kids, Nursery on up. Parents can drop the kids off on the West side of our building, at the Large Fellowship Hall door, and pick them up anytime between 5:00-8:30 pm. You will be asked to register your kids when you drop them off. There is no charge.

Please pray for this ministry! We look forward to seeing you Friday night, March 18!

ATTENTION: We will have ONLY the 10:30am Morning Worship today, January 2, due to the snow and ice. The roads and parking lot are partially covered at this time (6:45am), so we thought it would be difficult for a number of our Sunday School teachers to make it to church. So, NO SUNDAY SCHOOL today, but we will have our 10:30am worship service in-person and online. Take care and have a wonderful day.

We hope you plan to attend our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Friday night, December 24th at 6:00 PM. Childcare will NOT BE PROVIDED, but we will have special, flame-less candles for the children to hold so they can participate. We will also celebrate the Lord’s Supper during this special service.

Invite your family and friends and join us for this beautiful Service!

Our 2021 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions is underway! We join more than 40,000 other Southern Baptist Churches in this great cause to share to Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the Earth!

Our Church Goal for the Offering is $4,200. As of 1/3/22, we have given $4228! We have exceeded the goal! Thank you so much for your faithful giving!

This offering supports more than 3,600 missionaries serving all over the world, providing nearly half of their total support – particularly most of the funds used for actual ministry. Our Cooperative Program giving every month (Cornerstone gives 10% of our General Receipts to the Cooperative Program) provides the other half of the International Mission Board’s funding. We are privileged to be part of a worldwide missions endeavor.

Let’s give generously to reach our goal and tell the world about Jesus this Christmas! Thanks for your generosity!
