Beginning in January there will be some changes in the
areas of service: Sunday morning Hospitality Teams and
Saturday Green Teams will be discontinued. Coffee will
still be served on Sunday mornings and our new landscaping
service will take over the Green Team's duties. A BIG

years! Please prayerfully consider where the Lord would
have you serve now.

9) ADOPT A MISSION FAMILY
Partners in Mission is a program at Cornerstone in which
three or four families in the congregation join together in
adopting one of our missionary 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.
