CONNECTING PEOPLE TO CHRIST AND HIS COMMUNITY
The Challenge of Change
This Week...
KEY VERSES
Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
- Joshua 1:9 The tribes of Reuben and Gad had many cattle. These people looked at the land near Jazer and Gilead. They saw that this land was good for their cattle. 2 So the people from the tribes of Reuben and Gad came to Moses. They spoke to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the people. 3-4 They said, “We, your servants, have many cattle. And the land that the Lord let the people of Israel cap-ture is good land for cattle. This land includes the area around Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, and Beon. 5 If it pleases you, we would like this land to be given to us. Don’t take us to the other side of the Jordan River.”
- Numbers 32:1-5
We will not take any of the land west of the Jordan River. No, our part of the land is east of the Jordan River.”
- Numbers 32:19 Now I will go down and save my peo-ple from the Egyptians. I will take them from that land and lead them to a good land where they can be free from these troubles. It is a land filled with many good things. Many different people live in that land: the Canaan-ites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
- Exodus 3:8

Value: Contentment—deciding to be happy with what you’ve got.

content whether I have more than enough or not enough.” Philippians 4:12b
Because I’m Happyyyyyyy! (Be content/Paul in prison) Philippians 4:11b-13
When you focus on God, He can help you be content.

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

EVENTS AND INFORMATION
We believe that spiritual growth doesn’t just
happen on the weekend. It should be part of
our everyday walk with God. We call it
Worship Plus Two.
Come to WORSHIP on the weekends, plus:
1. Find a place to SERVE and
2. Be a part of a small GROUP.
Look for opportunities in this program, browse the website, fill out a
welcome card, or talk to any staff member to learn more about where you
Prayer Service Thank you to everyone who attended the prayer service last Sunday night.
We had a great turnout and are very thankful for everyone's prayers both at that
service and outside that service!
Business Meeting Sunday, May 1st | 12:00 pm On May 1st we will be having a congregational meeting where members present will vote on the sale of our campus
to Beacon Academy. Agendas and ballots will be available at the tables in the lobby following the second service.
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.
