A NOTE FROM PASTOR TOM: It’s time to pray! As elders, we have been gathering on Sunday mornings in my office to pray. God has prompted us to move to a larger room and open it up to everyone. So…we want to invite you to join us for prayer on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. in the Fireside room. We will spend this time praying (not talking about prayer, thinking about prayer, but praying together) for the needs of the body, needs in the room, whatever needs God lays on our hearts to pray. We know that God listens to His children and we want to come into the throne room of grace for our time of need. So come and PRAY! And bring someone along with you. Please note: Since there are no Bible classes for the next two Sundays, August 22nd and 29th, we will meet to pray at 9:30 instead of 8:30. Starting on September 5th, we will start meeting at 8:30 again.
TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN:
- BETH MOORE STUDY: Janelle Vignery will be starting another Beth Moore study on Thursday, September 2nd, at 6:30 p.m. here at Cornerstone. It is called The Patriarchs, and is a study of the love of God from the book of Genesis. Through this study, you will encounter the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and you will take a look at the lives of real people whose stories are not all that different than ours. If you are interested in this study, Janelle needs your $16 for the book by August 29th, and she will then purchase the books for the group. Please call or text Janelle at 816-668-2435 to sign up.
- THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY: On Sunday mornings this fall, Barb Savage will be facilitating a small group for women on this third book in the Apprentice Series trilogy. In the book, James Bryan Smith helps us learn to “live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers.” Whether you have read the first two books or not, you will benefit from participating in this class. If you are interested in attending, please contact the church office (380-2422/office@cornerstonechurch.info) so that Barb can order a book for you.
PRAYER FOR OUR EDUCATION WORKERS: If you work in any way that is connected to a school setting, we would like to pray for you as you are starting this new school year. This includes public, Christian, and home school teachers, food preparers, school administrators and office staff, and anyone else who serves in an educational setting. We will be taking some time during the worship service this Sunday, August 22nd to lift you up in prayer.
BUNCO THIS FRIDAY! Ladies, don’t forget Bunco this Friday night at 7 p.m. at Cornerstone. Please bring $2, a 2-liter of pop (some diet, please) or a healthy snack, and if you would like, an inexpensive prize. It would help Juanita if you would R.S.V.P today (Wednesday) at 779-4299 or blackwellj@harrisonvile.k12.mo.us, but latecomers are always welcome. Bring a friend!
NO SUNDAY SCHOOL/BIBLE CLASSES ON AUGUST 22 AND 29TH: This Sunday, August 22nd, and next Sunday, August 29th, there will be no adult or children’s classes during the 9:30-10:30 a.m. Bible class time so that our teachers can have a break. Please note: there will also be no Kid’s Time church on these Sundays.
BREAKFAST IS SERVED! To kick off our fall Sunday school quarter, some of the excellent chefs from our body will treat us to breakfast during the Bible class hour (9:30 a.m.) on Sunday, September 5th, and there will be information available at that time about the new classes and small groups that will be starting up this fall.
GOSPEL CONCERT: This Saturday, August 21st, at the Harrisonville Community Church, there will be a southern gospel concert featuring The Bradford Trio, whose members are three young women from Harrisonville: Mendell Bradford, Jennifer Bradford, and Davette Bradford Dean. They have performed at many song festivals, concerts, and events, and numerous times at Silver Dollar City. Their current hit single, Angels in the Room, is being played on gospel stations across the country. The Williams, a nationally-charted group that has been nominated for a Dove Award, will also be performing. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., the concert starts at 7 p.m., and a freewill offering will be accepted.

Word for the Week
“For on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect) and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.”
Hebrews 7:18,19
“May it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world was crucified to me, and I to the world.”
Galatians 6:14
