H.S. Youth Group and Christmas Child

The High School Youth Group took a trip to the dolar store Sunday night and bought numberous items to box and ship to the Operation Christmas Child. Eleven boxes were wrapped and stuffed. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed doing something for such a great cause.

Blood Pressure Screenings

Like sports scores, the higher the number the better, right? Not exactly.

The Parish Nursing team will be offering blood pressure screenings on a monthly basis at Cornerstone. Don't let your blood pressure rise up and get the better of you. This is one set of numbers you better keep track of!

Heath concerns? Contact any member of the Parish Nursing Team or email Maurice Egnor.

One, Two, Tree!

Youth In Washington

On Nov. 7th, six of us went to Fairfax, VA. for a Dare2Share conference that was held at George Mason University. We had an awesome time as we learned how to share our faith.

On the way home Sunday we took a wrong turn and ended up in Washington so we went to the mall (the monument area that is). Behind us in the picture above is the White House and President Bush had just came through in his motorcade. It was the day before Barak Obahma met with him at the White House. It was a beautiful day and an awesome way to end our time together.

Down to the Wire ...

Do you have an empty shoebox in a size 13?

As a regional drop off location for Operation: Christmas Child, Cornerstone has a very busy weekend ahead. Volunteer Karen Pergler (above) waits inside the front door for the next load of shoe boxes from other area churches and, of course, the Cornerstone congregation.

From Joann Campbell ...
