Happy Birthday Cornerstone
Exciting News for Cornerstone’s Future!
Our care campaign is a special initiative to prepare for two major milestones in 2025:
Cornerstone’s 30th Anniversary and the 20th Anniversary of the Gatehouse building.
Your generosity will help us invest in Cornerstone's future and ensure that our church home remains a welcoming space for all.
This year’s project will be a new roof on our Gatehouse Campus. We presently have pledges and cash for $20,000.00.
There will be an update on the roofing project at our Annual General Meeting in June.
You can contribute to the Care Campaign by designating your gift as “Care Campaign” or “Birthday Gift” in your regular giving.!
Cornerstone Family Care
There’s a new book in the Gatehouse library called “Everything Smartphone. "
This is an amazing resource for parents who might be wrestling with when to give their kids a smartphone.
Or you already gave your child a smartphone, but need to make some changes in how the device is managed. Well worth the read! You don’t have to wait to read it at the church, though; you can download the entire ebook for free by clicking here.
