Many months ago while I was working at church on a Saturday, two women stopped by looking for rental space to begin a new ministry in Mobile. I showed them around and the more we talked, the more I felt I was to pursue this possibility. I presented the idea to the BOD and we decided to pray about it. The next time it was discussed we decided to go visit the pastor's current church to learn more about her and see if we might be able to share some of the space with which we have been blessed. Then came the holidays and we never made the trip to Panama City, FL to visit.
I tell you all of that so I can introduce you to our guest preacher this Sunday. She is the Rev Sherlene McClary. She has been in ministry for over 30 years. God has given her a powerful message of restoration, revelation, healing and hope. Pastor McClary has a gift to work with hurting disenfranchised members of the body of Christ, helping those who may have lost their way as well as those who need comforting in knowing the love of God never fails. So she has a lot in common with the message of Cornerstone MCC.
Some concerns have been voiced by a few who are not in favor of sharing our campus with another ministry and I understand those concerns. "But God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7. Therefore we are continuing to explore this opportunity and my prayer is that the Spirit will confirm a decision as we worship together.
I am so encouraged as we begin this new year. God has amazing blessings in store for us. I want to encourage you to miss not one Sunday so you receive your blessing as you begin each new week. I'll be looking for you at 10:45am.
Praying for God's best for you in 2014!
Rev Sandy, Pastor
