Greetings Cornerstone,
As we move through the Explore God series, I encourage you to participate and to continue in prayer as I know you are doing. My service area as your elder is ministry care and benevolence. I enjoy sharing in your challenges and rejoicing in your praises, as together we witness God’s involvement in our lives. I applaud the Cornerstone Family for your care of one another. So many of you keep me and our Elder Board apprised of the needs and challenges of our members and attendees. It is a privilege to uphold you in prayer. I am encouraged by your testimonies. The Elders administer the benevolence monies to those who, from time to time, are in financial need. Your generous gifts make this possible. God is good and His mercies are new every morning. Whenever possible, I am available for prayer and praise after the 9 am service in the front of the worship center. I encourage every one of you to fill in the prayer request forms so that all of us may participate in prayer as we have been instructed by our Lord to do.
We see the hand of God on His people here at Cornerstone and we will strive to persevere and obey Him as together we rely on Him. “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lam.3:24
-Frank Tessien

Ministry Enhancement Plan
How Does The Ministry Enhancement Fit Into Our 3-Year Vision?
Cornerstone, in the next three years, will create a culture that inspires Christ-like believers whose lives reveal God’s goodness and equips mature leaders who multiply to impact our community and beyond. We will strive to develop strong leadership while further equipping our saints for the works of service. Our ministry enhancements are tools that will assist us in our journey to disciple our own and reach the lost. We want to utilize our facility in the most efficient manner. Repurposing rooms helps people make better connections. Additionally, an expanded foyer encourages people to make personal connections within the congregation. First-time visitors and newcomers will have a welcoming atmosphere to meet others.
For complete information and to participate in the Ministry Enhancement Plan with your much-appreciated donation, please visit the Cornerstone Website and click on Give/Building Fund. Please note that giving envelopes labeled "Ministry Enhancement - Building Fund" are available and may be found inside the friendship folder in the Worship Center pews or at the Welcome Center.
