Not much blogging lately...

CRASHing back from vacation is a scary thing for me. I usually cannot really vacate because of the heavy load of things that can pile up in a week added to the things already on this week will take several weeks to flatten back out. This time I refused to do a "working" vacation and I am paying the price. It is probably the most packed August we have ever had at Cornerstone and I am excited to see what this fall will be like. This week we are launching a new series called "Kidz Rule" hopefully it will help parents and grandparents as they endeavor to make adults out of their children. We are also putting together backpacks for the back to school outreach. We need lots of people to sign up to provide everything from paper to pens and erasers. As I announced earlier, on September 2 we are changing our service times and formatting one service to focus on the classic style of worship including hymns and many of the service elements that we grew up with. I know this will be a significant thing for our community and that it will help our church better focus its ministry on all of our community. In order to accomplish this we must change all of our signs and we will be doing a 22,000 piece mailer letting everyone in our immediate area know about our new service. Let me just say that we could not do any of this without Gabe. He is not only handling all of the advertising, and the redesign of our website, but is also putting together a new worship format. I thank God for him every day! So with that said, I am going back to work, and so should you. Please pray for us, the first 5 years was just the beginning!
