all three questions?
• What kind of change would
occur in our own lives?
• What kind of effect would we
have on others within our community?
• Would it make the world we
live in a better place?
• Are we TRULY being ALL that
God wants and asks us to be? |

WHY: "Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in

And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be
sure that I'll be there." Matthew 18:20 (The Message) |

Dr. Crawford from Harris Chapel UMC would like everyone at Cornerstone to know how much they appreciate our donation to the repair of their van. With that unexpected expense they did not think they would be able to continue the camp during the month of July, but with our donation they will be able to not only complete the repairs, but keep the camp going for the entire month of July. He asked us to please convey to our church their sincere thanks! |
