BETH MOORE LIVE: Beth Moore will be coming to Municipal Auditorium here in Kansas City on Friday and Saturday, April 13th and 14th. Joining Beth at this weekend event is acclaimed worship leader Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team. Beth’s focus will be on the Scripture that God lays on her heart for each individual Living Proof Live event – no two messages are the same. As she explores the Bible and how it applies to real life, you’ll be inspired to magnify and strengthen your own relationship with God. The Friday night session runs from 7:00-9:30 p.m., and the Saturday times are 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The cost for the event is $65. If you are interested in carpooling to the conference with some other women from Cornerstone, you may contact Janelle Vignery at 668-2435.

The Relay is on June 15th at Harrisonville Middle School and goes from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Participants don’t have to stay the entire time. The suggested “goal” for team members is $100, but there is no limit. Anyone interested in joining the team or buying a luminary in memory/honor of a loved one can contact Stan Belk at 797-3005.
