Stepping Out and Stepping In



Each of us has been given a measure of faith, and we are being called to use it to step out of loneliness and isolation and into connection and belonging through our new Growth Groups. We’re not always eager to try new things and that's where faith comes in. If faith can move mountains, then surely it can move you to sign-up for a group.

In developing this new ministry, we set what seemed to be a bold goal:  a ministry coordinator, two coaches and ten group leaders. Yesterday after church we reached our goal as two people stepped forward to serve as coaches. Now all that's left is for more of you to step out in faith and join a group. I have no doubt that over the next two weeks; our groups will be filled and ready to begin the first week in October.

Our first study with be on Healthy Church Systems. For eight weeks we will be evaluating what we're doing now and asking your ideas on how we can improve eight important systems in our church. There is also an opportunity to suggest how we might expand each area in new ways. Your voice is important and it will be heard. So join a group and participate in this unique opportunity to make Cornerstone MCC even better than it is today.

You are personally invited to step out of yourself and step into a group. Sign-up today!  And I'll be looking for you in church this Sunday.

Rev Sandy, Interim Pastoral Leader
