CONNECTING PEOPLE TO CHRIST AND HIS COMMUNITY
To Caesar what is Caesar's but to God what is God's

Should we pay taxes to Caesar or not? Jesus’ Response:

KEY VERSES
Mark 12:13 – 17
Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” Luke 6:20 – 22
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and in-sult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Luke 22:25–26
Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the great-est among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. Luke 4:18–19
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
PRISM: People Responding in Social Ministry Your non-perishable donations of FOOD and PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS can be left in the wagon in the lobby. You can visit their newly redesigned website at prismmpls.org for information on great serving opportunities at the food shelf and the thrift shop too! Thanks for helping our community!
DRIVERS NEEDED for Dinner At Your Door With summer approaching, and schedules flexing, we are in need of about 6 more drivers to help fill out the schedule! Deliver noon time meals to those in our community who are unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves. Takes about 1 hour… Serve 1 time a month! Contact Jackie Barlow at 763-383-8684 for more information on how you can help!
Share Life This Summer ! Christian homes needed for Chinese high schoolers attending Heritage Christian Academy in Maple Grove from September
'16 through May '17. In return for providing a loving home (including room, board and transportation), host families will be
well-compensated monetarily ($800 monthly) as well as spiritually as they share the love of Christ with our Chinese
friends. Please contact HCA's Admissions Director Julie Herman at 763-463-2223.

Value: Contentment—deciding to be happy with what you’ve got.
Memory Verse: “I have learned to be content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am
content whether I have more than enough or not enough.” Philippians 4:12b
I Hurt Him for the Grapevine (Naboth’s vineyard) 1 Kings 21:1-19, 27
When you focus on what you don’t have, it can make you miserable.

We are glad you are here and hope you
feel at home as we join together in wor-
ship, prayer, and the study of God’s word.
Our goal is to provide opportunities for
people searching for God to find the God
who loves them and to encourage one
another to be disciples and servants
within our local communities and around
the world.
We hope you will take a few minutes
and meet some of the incredible people
sitting around you. Introduce yourself to
someone you don’t already know.
I encourage you to read through the
program and fill out a Welcome Card
to let us know you were here. If you
have any questions, please stop by the
Information Center in the lobby. You’ll
find information about the church, a map
of the building, a gift, and you can pick
up a Bible there if you don’t already have
one. And, stop by the Coffee Corner for
coffee, tea and donuts.
Thanks again for choosing to worship

happen on the weekend. It should be part of
our everyday walk with God. We call it

1. Find a place to SERVE and
2. Be a part of a small GROUP.

"The Results Are In" Sunday, May 1st | 12:00 pm On May 1st, we had a congregational meeting where members approved the sale of
our campus to Friends of Beacon Academy. 127 to 1 was the final vote count!
One of the things we asked YOU to pray about was unity, and again at the prayer
service, we prayed for unity, and it was clear last weekend, God has answered that prayer!
We look forward to where He will be leading us and ask for your continued prayers for as we move ahead together.
Summer Schedule Our last Saturday Night Service will be May 14.
Over the last four years the Saturday night service has been a great addition to Cornerstone. “Saturday Night”
has given us the opportunity to reach new people with continued growth on Sunday mornings. With summer
approaching and Cornerstone’s sale to Beacon Academy on the horizon we'll be making the transition to two
Worship Services on Sunday mornings. We're sorry for any inconvenience this change may cause you or your
family. As we look to the future and a new facility we will once again revisit our worship schedule to see how we
can best reach our community. Thank you for your prayers and understanding.
