Hey ladies, come join us for fellowship and some deep conversations every Thursday this summer (6/12-8/14) from 7-9 pm in the youth room as we chat about various topics that are explored on The Deep Dish podcast. Hope you can join us!

Download The Deep Dish podcast here to listen ahead of time or watch here and ponder the accompanying questions that we’ll discuss.

• 8/7 Mentoring in real life
• 8/14 Social media: wisdom and warnings

Beginning Sunday, July 6, the Bereans Class will be studying the Bible’s one-chapter books: Obadiah, Philemon, 2 and 3 John, and Jude. Given vacations and travel during the summer, we thought that it would be helpful to spend a week or two on each book without requiring a longer commitment. After discussing the background and context of each book, we’ll dig right into the text. While these books are short, they are mighty.
 
We meet in the upper level of the Education Building in the area near the kitchen. Wayne Rehnborg and Dave Hazelton will be leading this study.

Please join us Sunday night, August 3rd, at 6:00PM, in the Fellowship Hall for a town hall style meeting on ministry values and how we should allocate our budget. This will be a discussion and time of prayer on finding the right balance between ministry needs of our local congregation, our missions support, and the care of our facilities. Dinner will be provided. This is an important meeting in the life of our church so please come! Please RSVP using the QR Code or email the church office (churchoffice@cornerstoneefree.org) to let us know if you're coming, or if you would like to come but are not available on August 3rd.
