Special Announcements
NO BIBLE CLASSES OR SUMMER CHILDREN’S PROGRAM THIS SUNDAY: This Sunday, July 4th, there will be no adult, middle school or high school classes during the Bible class hour from 9:30-10:30 a.m., and the summer children’s program that has been running from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon will not be meeting. The worship service will be at 10:45 a.m. as usual, and the nursery and Promiseland will still be available.
PRAY FOR CHALLENGE: Please remember to keep the kids and adults who are attending the Challenge Conference in your prayers this week.
CHECK YOUR CHURCH MAILBOX: If you are a member of Cornerstone, in your church mailbox there is a copy of our constitution and by-laws with the proposed amendments that we will be voting on in the Annual Meeting on July 18th. If you aren’t a member, but would like to see the changes, there are extra copies at the Information Center.
CHICK CHAT: Attention all Ladies! Let’s gather at Teresa Haffner’s home on Monday, July 12th, at 7 p.m. to talk about . . . whatever we want to! One thing we have heard from many women is that we need more times to “hang out” together, and that is what this evening is for. Bring your favorite snack, dress comfie, and settle in for some time to just BE together.
While we are talking that evening, we would like to make fleece blankets for the organization, “Soldiers Angels”, which provides blankets to wounded soldiers. Julie Hicks recently received an email from them saying they are in urgent need of blankets right now, so this is a great chance for us to serve. If you would like to make a blanket, you will need to purchase two 2-yard pieces of fleece that will make the two sides of the blanket. (Julie said Hancock Fabrics in Belton currently has fleece on sale.) The two pieces can be the same color, or they can be coordinating patterns and/or solids. With the fabric and a pair of scissors, we can make a blanket that will warm a soldier who has been wounded in the service of our country. If you can’t bring fabric, that is fine – come on out and help someone else with theirs. Remember to bring scissors!
POTLUCK AND ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING: On Sunday, July 18th, there will be a church pot luck dinner, followed by the annual business meeting. Please bring two side dishes to go with the fried chicken that will be provided.
NEW SUNDAY MORNING SMALL GROUPS: Below are listed the new Sunday morning classes that will be starting July 11 and running through August 15th:
Deepening Your Relationship with God — This group is designed to help you get started in your Christian life. See what a difference having a life built on this firm foundation of a relationship with Jesus Christ can make and how exciting it is to see God change us from the inside out.
Facilitator: Mark Lockard
Jesus in the Old Testament — This class will study the many methods God used to prepare His people, and through them the world, for the coming of His Son. The focus will be on how the concept of the Messiah was introduced and developed throughout the Old Testament. Other subjects that may be touched upon are prophecy, the Trinity, and actual appearances of Jesus in Old Testament history.
Facilitator: David Schneeberger
Your Divine Design — This DVD series with Chip Ingram explores how to discover, develop, and deploy the spiritual gifts God has given to each believer. Unit titles include “You’re a Masterpiece in the Making”, “How to Discover Your Primary Spiritual Gift”, “How to Develop your Spiritual Gift for Kindgom Impact”, and “Warning: Beware of Spiritual Gift Abuse!”
Facilitator: Ted Zellmer

Word for the Week
“Jesus replied, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.’”
Matthew 22:37-38
Quotes to Ponder
“You will not embrace God until you’re convinced He is good. We see his goodness . . .in that He took on flesh and came to us in the person of Jesus Christ:
‘I am the God who has come down to set you free from the slavery of sin and death and hell. You had no way out. I have come to deliver you from a fate you cannot begin to imagine.’ He holds out hands that are pierced with nails, and He says, “Don’t put any other gods before Me.’”
