4) PASTORAL CALLING
Praise God!! Following our congregational meeting at which
we voted to call Pastor Kevin to be Cornerstone’s next Lead
Pastor, the Search Committee contacted Pastor Kevin and
extended the call. He accepted the call and now the Search
Committee and Council are working out the final details and
official paperwork. Please be praying for everyone during
this process, and for Pastor Kevin and his family as they
begin preparations for a big move. What an exciting time
for us here at Cornerstone!

5) THANK YOU KAROLE
A HUGE thank you to Karole Palmberg who has served
Cornerstone for the past 11+ years as the Administrative
Assistant. Karole resigned last week for health reasons.
Please be praying for her in this time of change for her
and her family. Also pray for the Council and staff as
they make preparations for a temporary Administrative
Assistant to fill the gap until Pastor Kevin arrives and
can help hire a permanent employee.

We have the opportunity to help our own missionary family,

9) LOOKING FOR HELPERS
We are blessed to have many little ones in our
congregation, in fact five more babies are due over the
next few months! If you would be willing to spend an hour
or two on Sunday mornings every so often "lovin'-on-babies"
in our Nursery or Preschool, please contact Brooke Bernard
or the church office.
We are also in need of more volunteers on the following
teams: Greeters; Scripture Readers; Set-up & Sound; and
