9) COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL
(This comes to us from Aileen Nelson)
On April 22nd, we will be celebrating Compassion Sunday at
Cornerstone for the eight year. We have about 40 families
at Cornerstone who sponsor one or more children who once
lived an abject poverty and are now finding hope, finding
Christ, attending school, learning Christian values, having
medical care and having a chance for a future. These
sponsors are changing the world for on child at a time. Man
sponsors say their own lives have been enriched and heir
values changed as well.

10) DOING CHURCH 2007 CONFERENCE
(This comes to us from Dhyan Gilton, Outreach Chair)
Plan now to join our group from Cornerstone at this
exciting two-day conference, May 11-12 in Walnut Creek, as
we discover how to energize our faith in the real world!
It's time for our faith to become dynamic, active and
applied 24/7. This radical, powerful and biblical way of
living will send us beyond the walls of what we call
"church" and out into the world as we live this Everyday
Faith.
We will be registering as a group to receive a discounted
rate. See the Dockters or Giltons for details. For more
information about this conference go to:
