"The Classics" Christmas Party!

Last Saturday night, "The Classics," Cornerstone's new Senior Adult Ministry Group, met to celebrate Christmas in our Fellowship Hall!

The reviews are in! "The First Leon" was a HIT! - PG

Praise the Lord! Hundreds of people turned out for the 2 performances of "The First Leon!" Both were received with standing ovations!

Be on the lookout for ordering information for the DVD! PG out . . . .

Exciting Sunday Planned!

This Sunday will be our Children’s Choir Presentation (8:30 AM & 10:30 AM):

“The First Leon”

You will want to get here early!

This is especially true for those of you who are camera buffs and videographers.

Pray that the Message the children are communicating will be received in a powerful way by all.

Invite family members, friends and neighbors!

This is a non-threatening event that you can invite people to church. People love Christmas music and they love children. While here they will hear the real message of Christmas!

Getting ready for Guests

You can help us get ready for guests in the following ways!

Park at King Ave School

This is a great need! Dad’s serve your family by dropping them off and parking at King Ave

Making Room in the Pews

Sit up front! Leave the back seats open for late comers and new people

Move towards the center – so the ushers can sit people on the ends.

Cornerstone's Pastors Have Christmas Spirit!

Leaders Just Want To Have Fun, Too! - PR

On Saturday Night, December 8, 2007 the Staff, Elders, Deacons and their spouses gathered for a Christmas Banquet at the home of Pastor Rick and Janet Finitzer. All year these faithful leaders serve fervently seeking to advance God’s work in Yuba City. What we found is that these same people also know how to have fun! Jesus is our Joy! Jesus is our Strength!

“A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.”

John 10:10 The Message

AWANA Caroling! - PG

We had a wonderful time ministering at The Fountains last night! The "Clubbers" (3rd-6th Grades) walked over to this facility to bring some Christmas cheer to the residents. As you can tell from this picture, it was a fantastic group! Praise the Lord for a great night of impact in our community! PG out . . . .

Help! Please move to the front! - PR

That sounds too direct. Okay, please move to the front of the church. Why? This will leave at least the last two rows of pews open on both sides for guests or latecomers to church. Why is it that people will pay premium dollars to get front row seats at a sporting event but always want the back pews in a church? Our newcomers feel the most at home near the back. This morning we had some difficulty trying to seat new people. Seats were open in the front rows but our guests didn’t want them. Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine arriving to an unknown event that you were nervous about attending and the ushers seated you in the front row with everyone looking at you! That is how our guests feel! So during our crowded days, when many are attending church for the first time, please consider moving up nearer the front! Thanks for your help!
