You Are Not Alone!



If you are feeling lonely, I want you to know that you are not alone. Research shows that loneliness has reached epidemic proportion around the globe. It does not discriminate as to age, gender, economic standing, culture, or any of the many categories we create to distinguish people. So take comfort today that you are not alone in your loneliness!

Spiritually speaking, loneliness serves a valuable purpose. It reminds us that God wired us to live in community. It motivates us to open up and reach out to others. And as we do, the reward is great! 

You have an opportunity this month to join one of our new Growth Groups. For eight weeks in October and November you can meet weekly with a small group of people from church for discussion, fellowship and prayer. Your group will choose and do a service project together and plan a social event to enjoy. 

My prayer is that you will be motivated to join a group and experience a new level of community at Cornerstone MCC. And do a favor for someone you know who's lonely...bring them to church with you Sunday so they will know they are not alone. If they say no, let them know they can watch the service on our website. THANKS Media Team!!!
