Dear Cornerstone family,
Today is an important day in the life of our congregation! At the conclusion of each worship service this morning, we will immediately enter into a congregational meeting for the election of new officers. If you are a communing member of Cornerstone, we urge you to participate in today’s officer election. Through your vote, we believe God is confirming the call of new shepherd leaders at Cornerstone.
Because we’re meeting for election three different times, we will not be able to announce the outcome of the election this morning. After the final election and votes are tabulated, the election results will be emailed out to the membership of Cornerstone later today.
In other news, I’d like to publicly thank our staff for the hard work they’ve put into drafting additional COVID-19 guidelines as we expand in-person ministries. If you’ve not yet reviewed our expanded in-person ministry guidelines, please do so before the start of Sunday School next Sunday, September 20. It’s especially important that families with children who plan to participate in Sunday School read the guidelines before you attend next week. You can find a link to the guidelines on the front page of our church website and app.
Also, please note that next Sunday is the beginning of our new Sunday morning schedule. We will worship at 8 a.m. (50% capacity), 10:45 a.m. (75% capacity), and 12:30 p.m. (50 % capacity and mask required) with Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. We are maintaining our current worship guidelines and capacities through September 20. We will continue to evaluate things from week to week and make changes as wisdom and expediency dictates. Please stay tuned into the latest information from Cornerstone!
Finally, will you pray for the church? Even now, would you pause and pray?
