Please take Note:

•Due to the clean carpet and new chairs, please put lids on your coffee cups before entering the sanctuary. Thank you.

•Church Family Picnic - Plan to attend the picnic on Sunday, September 2nd at the Clearwater ball park. The outside service will start at 10:30 and lunch will follow. Please bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets just in case it is a little cool that morning. Everyone bring salads & drinks. Meat, buns & dessert will be provided. Helen’s group (3) is in charge. Lots of fun is planned for the afternoon, including the ever popular races for all ages, so get those muscles warmed up and stretched out! Some of the old classic races are planned as well as some new ones that will be just as much fun to watch as play. Please sign up at the back to be included in the lawn mower race - super hero cape is optional but highly encouraged. Not even kidding! Bring your mower and join in the fun. And you can not be in Clearwater without playing baseball, so bring your gloves and bats and teams will be made. Spitz are supplied, meet at diamond #2. The hike along the creek is also an option for those nature lovers who like to explore. There’s lots to do! Let’s celebrate our church family, laugh all afternoon and praise God.

•Sunday School Begins on Sept. 9th! New for this fall is a Sunday School class for ages 2 and 3. We still need helpers for the younger classes and relief teachers when the regular ones have other commitments. If you can help please let Karen F. know soon.


Thank you to Cindy and Vern Reimer, Erika Falk, Nancy and Nikki Rempel, Mike Gorchynski, and all the others who helped unload, prepare, and set up our new chairs.

A BIG thank you to everyone who helped Dave and Agatha during their transition to Crystal City! From helpful pickups and helping hands, to a steady flow of food and desserts, to all the little ways that people have welcomed us into town, please know that we have really appreciated, and are very grateful, for each kindness.

Everyone is invited to stay for a farewell lunch after the service for several families who are moving to serve the Lord elsewhere: Seth and Sarah Martens, Forrest and Diane Barnhardt, and Jack and Val Dyck. Opportunity will be given after the fellowship meal for people to express appreciation for all the various contributions they have made to Cornerstone, and for all the ways they have blessed us personally.
