Cornerstone United Methodist Church

During the month of September we are collecting our annual offering for The United Methodist Children’s Home. This offering provides a significant portion of the operating income of the Children’s Home. The mission of The United Methodist Children’s Home is to provide redemptive, healing services that bring meaningful change to the lives of children and families. Won’t you join with us and create new dreams for the children, youth and families we serve? Special envelopes are available from the ushers or at the Welcome Center.

If you would like to know more about the Methodist church, then join Pastor Joe in Room #112 each Sunday in September during the Sunday School hour (10:05 to 10:45 AM) for this informative class.

This fall there will be the opportunity to take part in a Disciple I, II, III or IV bible study. If you are interested in taking any of these studies, please contact the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to enroll.

On Sunday, September 12 at 3:00 PM our Korean congregation will once again host their annual cultural event. This wonderful program has been held at Cornerstone the last two years. Because of the past years’ success, they are holding their performance at the Performing Arts Center on Lower Fayetteville Road. There will be an orchestra, dancing, solos and much more entertainment. If you have missed this in the past please join us this year, and if you have been in the past you will want to come and see this presentation on a large stage.

On Thursday, September 16, the CornerstoneKids preschool is hosting the first of three family fellowship potluck dinners. The evening will begin at 5:30 PM with a potluck dinner in the Narthex for parents and children. The preschool will provide plates, silverware, napkins, cups and drinks. Please bring your favorite dish to share. Following dinner, childcare will be provided for the children by the preschool, and Dr. Lewis Jackson, a long-time CornerstoneKids parent and local pediatrician, will present an informative session on healthy lifestyles for our children and our families. He will focus on healthy eating and the prevention of childhood obesity. A Q&A session will follow the presentation for parents to ask Dr. Jackson their questions. We hope you will mark your calendars now to join us for an evening filled with fellowship, dinner and information on how to live healthy.

Karpenter’s Kids kicks off Sunday, September 19 from 4:00 to 5:30 PM. We invite all 1st through 5th graders to come play games and explore Christian friendships with us. Bring a change of clothes—this could get messy!

M&M’s—the Mary’s and Martha’s—would like to invite all ladies of Cornerstone to join in the fall study of Larry Moyer’s How to Book: On Personal Evangelism. Whether your gift is evangelism or not: have you ever wondered how to turn a conversation to the subject of God, or talk to your relatives about Christ, or help those struggling with Salvation? Please join us on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, beginning September 22. Childcare is available. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
