WOW Christmas Party

Calling all Cornerstone women!  You are all invited to our special WOW Christmas Party hosted at Cornerstone Church!!  This event will be the perfect chance to gather together with other ladies as we take time to go deeper in our understanding of Jesus' names, go higher in worshiping Him through Christmas carols, and grow stronger together as we discuss our favorite Christmas traditions.  There will also be a fun time of crafting and sharing favorite holiday cookie recipes.  Come hungry because there will be a very delicious dinner provided along with some yummy cookies!

• When: Friday, December 4th 
• Time:  6:00 PM-9:00 PM
• Where: Cornerstone Worship Center

Planning to attend? Sign ups will be in the Worship Center Lobby or contact the church office.  This is also a great opportunity to invite other women from outside of church, so bring a friend... or two!  You won't want to miss!!

 To start getting us ready, shout out your favorite Christmas tradition in the comments below.

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (Matthew 1:23; KJV)

Here's the Scoop: Retreat Style!

Friendship, fellowship, and fun all wrapped up into a weekend away set in the beauty of God's creation.  Come join us as we go deeper in our understanding of God's "Gift of Grace" through the studying of His Word.  If that was not enough of an incentive, free time activities include (but are not limited to) a fabulous card making activity, and/or for the more adventurous, take a ride on a giant swing that stretches over the lake. 

Have I piqued your interest?  If so, click this Retreat Link, to register for this year's retreat!  The last day to have all monies in is September 15th. Payments can be submitted online or by check to the church office.

LADIES TEA PARTY

Cup of Life

What beautiful tea cups and what beautiful woman made in God’s image you are. God’s handiwork, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Look around at all the dainty, colorful and delicate cups which appear to be almost too fragile to use. Some may be more sturdy and strong, while others give the appearance of being flawless with no visible chips, cracks or imperfections.

Some may have obvious flaws that are visible to everyone. There are even those that have been shattered, only to have been carefully mended and now ready to use again.

Some are expensive and rare, others plain and practical. Others may be brand new and never used for the purpose that they were intended. Some have been used countless times and have many opportunities in the future.

Others claim they have served their time. Chipped and worn they would like to just sit on the shelf and be admired for their work.  But others want to be used until the very end, fearful they will be put aside and forgotten. Some are capable of holding much more than others.

With all of their many differences and similarities, all cups and saucers were designed for a common purpose – to serve (tea service).

I want you to look into your cup and think about your spiritual life journey. It can be a powerful teacher, an image for the process of your spiritual growth and a reminder of your spiritual thirst.

Your cup - You hold it, fill it, drink from it, empty it and wash it. You choose what you fill it with. Through my human choices my thirst for God can be quenched.

In my cup I can see life with its emptiness, fullness, brokenness, flaws and blessings. A cup is a container for holding something and whatever it holds has to be eventually emptied out, so something more can be put into it.

Our spiritual journey is a constant process of emptying and filling, of giving and receiving, of accepting and letting go. 

I have learned that I have flaws, chips and stains, as any well used cup may have but the markings and imperfections need not prevent me from being a valuable gift to pour out to others.

The stains are a way to transformation, cleansing and forgiveness. God knows our weaknesses and failures. Sometimes we resist what God desires to pour into our cup of life. We can ignore or refuse to be open and receptive and the contents we put in may turn sour and stale rather than overflowing with God’s living water.

The contents are meant to refresh, nourish, warm and renew life. Might we be stirred up with a deep desire to cry out to our precious Lord.
