Announcements

YOUTH NEWS: 

• There is no youth meeting tonight.  
• Immediately following the service this Sunday there will be a meeting for parents of youth grades 7-12 to discuss our youth ministry.  If you have questions, you may contact Kevin Barnett at 380-7181. 

NOMINATIONS NEEDED:  It is time to begin preparations for our Annual Business Meeting in April.  Part of that preparation involves filling at least three Members-at-Large positions on the Finance Team.  According to our by-laws, the Finance Team “shall oversee the financial affairs of the church. They shall seek input from each ministry team, staff member, and the Board of Elders before preparing a proposed annual church budget to be submitted for congregational approval at the Annual Meeting.”  Those serving on the Finance Team must be members of Cornerstone.  This Sunday, there will be an insert in your bulletin on which you may make your nominations for these positions.   From your nominations, the Connection Team will prepare a slate of names to be voted on at a special business meeting on January 22^nd after the worship service.   

YEAR-END CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS:  Year-end contribution statements are now in the church mailboxes.  If you don’t have a church mailbox, your statement will be mailed to you. 

“CLASSY CARDS”:   If you’ve ever received a card from Lori Peterman, you know what a blessing it is to get a lovely, handmade greeting in the mail from a friend.  Lori shares her talent by doing card-making classes, and she will be hosting one for us this month at the church on Thursday, January 19^th, from 6-9 p.m. (come and go as you like.)  The cost is $3 (non-refundable, please) and registration is required so Lori can have your packet assembled and ready for you to make 5 beautiful cards.  This class is open to all adults, and to youth ages 12 and up.  Younger participants should have a bent towards crafts and be accompanied by a parent.  Visit the table in the Commons to register, or email Lori at lorelei2@fairpoint.net.   Invite a friend!

FUNDRAISER FOR JUST4ME:  The annual Gumbo dinner at the Episcopal Church (located just off the square at 400 W Wall) has chosen to benefit Harrisonville Just4Me this year! That means all proceeds from this great dinner – featuring Gumbo, red beans and rice, French bread, rice pudding and wine, coffee or tea and a price tag of only $9, go directly toward feeding underprivileged kids in our community this summer. Slotted for this Friday, January13^th from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the church is also offering carry-out options for those in a rush. For more information or to place your takeout order, call 884-4025.
