Cross Walkers
(Photos by John Garland) 
This Friday is the annual Cornerstone Cross Walk. We will all meet at the church and then shuttle walkers to the starting point. The shuttle will leave the parking lot every 15 minutes (or sooner, if needed). Walkers will then head back towards the church, along the northbound lane of Route 896, with a police escort arriving at Cornerstone to start the 7:00 service with placement of the cross on the platform. This walk is suitable for all ages.
Please call PW Bargstadt (836-2862) ahead of time to let him know you'll be walking!

Healing Service 6:00pm Wednesday
I just wanted to remind everyone of the Healing Service that will be held this Wednesday Evening at 6 PM at the church. We will be celebrating Holy Communion, Wednesday is also the first night of Passover, the night when Jesus gave the sacrament of Holy Communion to His apostles. There will also be prayer stations with anointing.
Also please remember to take some time this week to pray for healing for our world, nation, state, church, Cornerstone Congregation and our friends and relatives.
Praying for all of you, that The Holy Spirit will bless you in ways you can't even imagine.
God Bless

Update on Vicki Owens
From Vicki and Paul & Family:
First, we would like to say thanks for your concern and prayers for Vicki and our family. Your kindness to Vicki, and to all of us, has been so uplifting. We give God thanks for you.
Secondly, during the last five weeks of testing, hospital stays, times of waiting and uncertainty, we have been very aware of so many others in the Cornerstone family who fave faced similar times of struggle ... and have passed through them ... or are facing them even at this moment. That list is a very long list, and each and every one on the list is so important and valuable to our Lord and to this congregation. Our own thoughts and prayers have been intensified as we think about others who are also in need.
After two weeks of outpatient testing, Vicki was admitted to Christiana Hospital on March 13th. Further tests were conducted along with several procedures during the next 18 days. Biopsy studies confirmed the concern of the doctors that Vicki was battling colangiocarcinoma (cancer of the bile duct). The doctors concluded that the cancer had progressed in such a way that surgery would not be an option and treatment would involve radiation and chemotherapy. The doctors, nurses and staff at Christiana Hospital took good care of Vicki, both in a compassionate and professional way.
On Wednesday of this past week, April 1st, we took Vicki to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia for a second opinion. After a couple of days of reviewing the data from Christiana Hospital, running additional tests and many visits from from doctors, it was concluded that surgery was a viable option.
The surgery, should Vicki decide to consent, possibly would require a two-step process. First, a procedure to grow the left lobe of the liver and then later remove the right lobe of the liver, and up to 75% of the entire liver. The good news is that the liver regenerates itself.
One interesting note: The doctor that is equipped to perform this operation just transferred to Jefferson from Johns Hopkins on April 1st.
Please keep Vicki in your prayers as she makes this important decision. The operation is not without its risks and involved two months of recovery time. We give God thanks for these options.
Blessings to our wonderful church family,
Vicki and Paul and family
P.S. Vicki was discharged from Jefferson late Saturday afternoon (April 4th) and is at home with the assignment of getting stronger.
