Christmas Eve at Cornerstone

WOW! What a glorious day to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Well over a thousand people from our community came through the glass doors to celebrate together this day. Does it get any better than that????

A great big thank you to Officer Gerry Bryda, of the Newark Police Department, for coming over to the Early Education Center Tuesday and talking with the kids about safety and his job as a policeman. Officer Bryda then showed the children the inside of his car and how the lights and siren worked.
