FAMILY FELLOWSHIP NIGHT AT THE HAFFNERS: This Sunday at 6:30 p.m. is the hot dog roast at the Haffners! The Fellowship Team and Outreach Team would like to encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to do some “fishing” and invite a friend or recent visitor to the church to join us and get to know some of the wonderful folks at Cornerstone. Please bring hot dogs and buns for your family and any guests you bring, and chairs or blankets to sit on. Drinks, paper goods, chips, hot dog toppings, and S’more ingredients (yum!) will be provided. To get to the Haffners’, just take Hwy 7 north towards Pleasant Hill, and watch on your left for Pumpkins and Pines.
BUSINESS MEETING: On Sunday, October 25th, there will be a short business meeting after the morning worship service.
IT’S BUNCO TIME! Attention all ladies! This Friday night, October 16th, is another chance to get together to talk, laugh, and play Bunco at Juanita Blackwell’s house. This is a great opportunity to get to know other women in the church and the perfect place to bring a friend to see that Christians can have FUN!
If you’d like to come, please let Juanita know by as soon as possible at 779-4299 or blackwellj@harrisonville.k12.mo.us (Be sure respond using her email rather than just clicking reply to this newsletter!) Latecomers are welcome, and feel free to invite a friend. Just bring $2 and a 2-liter of pop (some diet please) or a healthy snack. If you can’t bring any food, no one will notice or care. There’ll be plenty. She only has two tables and eight chairs, but room for 28 ladies (sixteen upstairs and twelve down in the family room). If you can bring a card table and/or chairs or an inexpensive gift to give away as a prize, please let her know.

shutters and door. A loud but harmless dog will greet you

Word for the Week
“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.”
Colossians 1:21-22
Quotes to Ponder
“As mercy is God’s goodness confronting human misery, so grace is His goodness directed toward human debt and demerit. It is by His grace that God imputes merit where none previously existed and declares no debt to be where one had been before.”
A.W. Tozer
Just for Laughs
