Dear Church Family,
This Sunday we start our new series, “The Journey of Faith.” My hope for 2012 is that each of us would allow God to take us to new places of depth and intimacy. But the only way for faith to deepen is for each of us to take God at His Word in daily, joy-filled obedience. One writer explains, “Every obedience, however small (if any obedience is ever small) quickens our sensitivity to God and our capacity to understand Him and so makes more real our sense of His presence.”
Jesus promises that everyone who obeys His commands, God will come and make His dwelling with them (John 14:21). Then, He will guide us in our journey to the places He longs to take us. Come with me on this journey of faith. O God, take us where you want us to go.
Things to know:
Small Groups start this week: If you are not in a sermon-based small group, please plan to join one this week. More information in the bulletin insert or at https://cornerstone-marion.org/2012/01/16/new-sermon-series-the-journey-of-faith/.
Baby Bottle Boomerang: Our church is partnering with Bridgehaven Pregnancy Support Center (formerly Aid to Women) through the 2012 Baby BottleBoomerang during the weeks of January 22 to February 12. Baby bottles will be handed out after the service on January 22. They should be returned on Sunday, February 12. Bridgehaven is a ministry that reaches out to women experiencing unintended pregnancies with truth and love, empowering choices for life. You can learn more about Bridgehaven at www.bridgehavencr.org
February 19 Post-Valentine Dinner at the Olive Garden: We have room for a few more attendees for our 6-8PM dinner. We plan to enjoy fellowship, good food, and a bit of fun on that evening. RSVP to Annette Goater.
Blessings to you,
Pastor Matt
