Special Announcements
NEW MEMBERS: The elder team is recommending the following people for church membership, to be voted on at the Annual Business Meeting on July 18th: Tim and Vickie Reeves, Dennis and Joy Parker, and Charles and Kathy Clark.
COMMUNION THIS SUNDAY: This Sunday we will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper during the worship service. Afterwards, there will be men at the doors of the worship center to take a love offering that will be used to help those in our body who have financial needs.
CARSEAT NEEDED: Stephanie Roth could use a carseat that would work for a 7-month-old baby. If you know of one that is available, please contact Stephanie at 816-806-7297.
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
