We'll be wrapping up our Maximizing Ministry series this Sunday as we look at the gifts we have been given to do the work of the church. I can't wait to learn the results from those of you who took the Spiritual Gifts workshop last Saturday! I hope you are ready to put those gifts to good use here at Cornerstone.
If you missed the workshop, we have resources to help you discover your gifts too. Everyone has at least one spiritual gift. Our text this week reminds us that as we begin to use our gifts, we become more and more like Christ. Are you ready to get to work and to grow? I sure hope so because there is much to be done.
I missed being with you last week but I had a good trip to Texas. Many years ago I performed a Holy Union for a couple with an eight year old son. He's all grown up now and I had the honor of performing his marriage to his beautiful bride. He is in the Army and got notice of his deployment so the wedding had to be moved forward. I want to thank Steven, Darrell, and Laurye for their flexibility and willingness to trade weekends with me so I could go.
I am glad to be home and excited to be in worship with you Sunday at 10:45am. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you someone you can invite to church. And when you get the message be sure to tell them......they belong at Cornerstone!
On a personal note, I ask your continued prayers for my dad. Hopefully he will be discharged from the hospital soon and placed in a residential hospice. My prayer is for God to have mercy on him and call him home as that is dad's desire. My heart is heavy as I wait for his home going. Thank God for the hope of the resurrection and the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ!
Rev Sandy, Pastor
