for giving!

6) A VIEW FROM THE CHAIR
(This comes from Anthony Salafia, our Church Chair)
48 Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes from Cornerstone
were delivered to the drop off site for Samaritan's Purse.
What a tremendous outpouring of support for a mission
minded ministry! Thanks to all who participated!
I would like to thank and pray for our Pastoral Search Team
(approved at last Sunday's congregational meeting). The
willing servants of this group are Lloyd Ahlem, Mike
Gilton, Chelsea Gibbs, Lindsay Ahlem, Blanche Krumm, Chuck
Johnson, Karen Walker, Don Johnson and Anthony Salafia.
May the Lord guide them throughout this process.
Last Friday, nine people from Cornerstone and our youth
group, The ROC (Reality Of Christ), served dinner at the
Modesto Gospel Mission. This is a big increase in
participation! Our youth program is definitely on the
rise. Talk to Greg Oppenhuizen about what's planned for
the coming months.
In His Service,
Anthony Salafia

8) ADOPT A MISSION FAMILY
Partners in Mission is a new program at Cornerstone (thank
you Bruce & Katy Dockter for getting this started!) How
does it work you ask? Simple. Three or four families in the
congregation join together in adopting one of our Mission
Families (the Bosworths in Alaska; the Boydstons in Guam;
the Hayworths in Japan; and the Reeds in Spain.) We gather
on a regular basis to pray for and encourage our adopted
family as well as to learn about their new culture and then
share with our congregation about them and their needs.
Contact the Dockter's with any questions and sign up to
Adopt a Mission Family in the church foyer.
