Construction - Progress on New Building

Great progress is being made as the crews clear the church grounds in preparation for construction. Praise God! You should have seen those big machines working this week! I've captured pictures and videos - I'll try to post them later this evening.

But due to this progress, THERE ARE SOME MUDDY AREAS ON THE CHURCH GROUNDS where we used to walk to and from parking. So here are some tips:

If able, park in the main parking areas - behind the sanctuary building, or in the spaces to the side or nearest the road. This will allow you to walk into the sanctuary without walking thru dirt/mud areas.
IF the main parking areas are full, there is space is the parking lot behind the old building.
IF you park in the lot behind the old building, please drop off all passengers near the front door of the sanctuary before parking. This will minimize the number of people that have to walk thru dirt/mud or walk all the way around the church property to avoid the dirt/mud.
Also, IF you park in the lot behind the old building, follow the marked walk ways thru the construction area, which will help you avoid mud.

Thanks for you help in this area. I hope that we can fix up a walkway from the old parking lot for next week.

Please forward this information to others who may not otherwise get it. Pass the word!

Thanks,

Dave Perrin
Director of Ministry Development

Reformation Day Party - 10/30

On Sunday, October 30, 5-8pm, Cornerstone Youth Ministries will host a Reformation Day Party. The party will be for the children of Cornerstone (PreK-5th grade) and for the community of Town Creek. The youth (6th-12th grade) of Cornerstone will be hosting and serving at this event. October 31 is the day Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to the door at the Wittenburg Church door. This event sparked the Reformation. We will celebrate in the following ways:

1. Yard Games (bring your Cornhole, Bocce, etc.)
2. Food cooked over the fire (hotdogs, s'mores)
3. Trunk-or-Treating

We need families to host in the Trunk-or-Treating. Trunk-or-Treat is like Trick-or-Treating, except you do it from trunk of your vehicle. We will have people park in the front parking lot of the church and pass out candy to those involved. It will be a great time for fellowship and getting to know our community.

Also, if you have a yard game you would like to bring, please do so.

This will be a great night of fellowship and a great opportunity for us to get to know our community. Please invite your friends!
