Weekly Bulletin - May 28th

Cornerstone Church,

No Greater Joy!

3 John 1:4-5 (NKJV) ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. ⁵ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers…

What a statement!  “No greater joy” is the kind of thing that we would think would be associated with great worldly accomplishments like our children growing up to become president of the country or make it to the big leagues. John, who was single and did not have natural kids, understood his disciples to be his children in the ministry. His highest aspiration for them was to walk in truth. Let me say that again. His HIGHEST ASPIRATION for them was that they walk in truth.

We wish a lot of things for ourselves and for our families. We wish success in finance and fame.  We desire influence and popularity, but walking in truth supersedes them all. Gaius, one of John's converts made the grade. He accomplished exactly what John desired. What any spiritual parent would desire. He walked in truth and faithfully served both the church and the community.

- Pastor Joel Johns

Hey Cornerstone! We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with a local ministry called Well of Hope. They are a Thrift Store and food bank that work with the local community to provide resources for the underprivileged, and this summer they are looking to provide meals for kids who will be going without school lunches.
Our goal is to help feed 100 kids for ten weeks over this summer. If you would like to help, you can sponsor a child’s meal for a week by donating $35. You could also support a child for the whole summer by donating $350.
If you would like to join us in supporting this Summer Lunch Box program, or would like to know more about Well of Hope's ministry, please use the links below!
We’re excited to minister to these children and families this summer, and hope you’ll consider joining us in this!

Youth Group is a great place for students from 6th-12th grade to plug in. Every Wednesday we have games, worship, and most importantly we dive into scripture. Please join us this Wednesday, May 31st, as we continue our study in the Gospel of John.

This year from July 17th to 21st we will once again be holding our VBS for kids from preschool all the way up to 5th grade! Our theme is Kingdom Keepers, where the kids will learn about how to put on the full armor of God. It will be a fun week of worship, games, snacks, crafts, and more!
We are currently looking for volunteers to help us make this a memorable week for the kids. There are a variety of ways to get involved and use your gifts and abilities, from snacks, to game time, to being a leader or assistant to a specific age group of kids, and more.
If this is something you would like to do, please use the button below to register for volunteering, or reach out Jessie Rector, our Children's Director, at jessie@cornerstone.place.
Thank you!
