Praise the Lord for the amazing night of celebration honoring Pastor Jim Anderson's 25 years of faithful service at Cornerstone Church.
During the past 25 years many steps were taken. Choices were made (like leaving Iowa to move to California!). During the years following, Pastor Jim & Laura raised their children alongside many of you. They have rejoiced with you as your children were born, raised, and married at Cornerstone.
Twenty-five years seem like a long journey until broken up into tiny steps taken daily, monthly, and yearly.
Steps to Honor Christ!
Steps to Serve God's People!
Steps to Build the Kingdom of God!
These steps equal: "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction."
At the end of a brief program, a Love Gift of $2500.00 was given to Pastor Jim to help him and Laura make a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.
A special word of gratitude to all who gave towards the gift and who helped with the event! This was truly a church-wide effort of love to make this happen.
It is also proper to thank those who organized and planned the event: Teresa Lewis, Darlene Crites, Juli Jensen, Joyce Seibel, and Janet Nunes. If anyone else was left out it was merely an oversight.
Audio of the testimonies and song given that night can be found on our church website www.ConsiderCornerstone.com (click on "messages on-line").
