New Worship Times have begun!
Our worship time change due to building renovations have begun! A few reminders:
1. Classic Worship will be from 8:30 am - 9:30 am. Kids JAM will meet in the Fellowship Hall from 9:30 am to 10:15 am. Modern Worship will be from 11 am - NOON.
2. Please DO NOT use the back door into the Sunday School wing, as it is NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE. Please enter the church through the front doors.
3. The Nursery will be available for both services. The Nursery has moved to the classroom next to the Sanctuary temporarily.
We are excited to see all of the progress being made! Every day something is new! Come see it for yourself and join us this Sunday for worship!

Your Help Is Needed -- It’s time to clean the kitchen!
Most everyone has benefited in one way or another from Cornerstone having an awesome commercial size kitchen. There have been parties, receptions, funeral meals, youth dinners, meals for meetings/committees and even Thanksgiving dinners. And as with any kitchen, there comes a time to do a deep clean.
Cleaning will take place from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Friday, September 28 and Saturday, September 29 and your help is needed. Since this is a commercial kitchen, some items are higher and heavier than your normal kitchen. If you are cleared for ladder work and have strong arms and back, WE NEED YOU! In addition to cleaning the entire kitchen, we will be working through the pantry, cabinets, shelves freezer and refrigerator, reviewing expiration dates, organizing and taking stock. There is something for everyone to do.
Lunch will be provided both days. If you are able to help, please sign the volunteer list at sign up central. If you have any questions, contact Sue Harris at 636-926-0017.
