Partners in Mission is a new program at Cornerstone (thank

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.
