Upcoming Events

Join us for a very Merry Mingle - Sunday, December 4
Join us immediately after service on Sunday, December 4 for our last Monthly Mingle of the year! The Monthly Mingle is a casual gathering to share food, drinks, and conversation with others that call Cornerstone home. It’s meant to provide folks with an opportunity to get to know us and our ministry vision better. Refreshments will be shared potluck-style, (sign-up here) though you do not need to bring anything to attend. Hope to see everyone there!

SAVE THE DATE: Lessons and Carols Service: Saturday, December 10
We hope you will plan to join us on the evening of Saturday, December 10, for this delightful service of readings and music that prepares us to celebrate Christmas together. A light dessert reception will immediately follow. Please sign up to contribute a dessert or other refreshment here.

Christmas Day Service: Sunday, December 25 at 10am
We invite you to our family-friendly Christmas Day service on Dec. 25 at 10am. There will be no Cornerstone Kids for this 60-minute service. Instead, children are encouraged to participate in this service, which will include a children’s sermon. Please invite your family and friends to join us in this beautiful time of celebrating the birth of our Savior!

News and Updates

UPDATE: Adopt a Resident for Advent
This Advent season, would you consider encouraging residents at Park View Rehab Center, where our sister church Cornerstone - Edgewater meets? You can bless a resident by giving them a gift box full of Christmas goodies this year. If you were not able to pick up a box this past Sunday along with a sheet of ideas of gifts for residents, you can still participate by contacting Joel Brown (jbrown@greenhousemovement.com). Also, please pray for Cornerstone - Edgewater, whose Sunday services are currently canceled due to a COVID lockdown.

ICYMI: Building Updates and Repair Campaign
To help with important repairs to our basement following the flooding in September, our parish leadership launched a GoFundMe campaign--which has already raised over $11,916! TODAY is the last day of our campaign--would you help us achieve our goal of $35,000? You can scan this QR Code to donate or learn more.
