Called To Be One
Sermon Scripture - Acts 1:6-14
Gospel - John 17:1-11
 
Before ascending into heaven, Jesus prayed to God for his disciples “so that they may be one as we are one”. We are called to be one with God, one with each other, and one in ministry. We gather in the unity of God's Holy Spirit to be the church. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Ruth guides us in our thinking about Jesus prayer for his followers.

Men’s Fellowship Group
The Men’s Fellowship Group met after church this past Sunday. After pizza and drinks, we had a lively discussion about fellowship opportunities, including a special movie night in June along with costumed guest appearances. We will plan both social and service events as we meet new friends and grow together in Christ! Stay tuned for specific announcements and frequent meetings after church. Thank you Angelo for volunteering to head up this group!

A Family in Need of Help
Jessie Brinkman has a coworker whose son and wife pregnant for the first time lost their house from fire after it was struck by lightning. Donations including baby clothes (gender of baby unknown at this time), men’s clothes (shirt size large, pants 34x32, shoes 9 ½), and women’s maternity clothes (med-large shirt size) would be appreciated. If you could bring such items to church on Sunday, Jessie will see that they are delivered. Cash donations will also be accepted.

Financial Report
Cornerstone MCC has remained financially steady with a very small financial reserve. Total tithes and offerings are smaller for April, reflecting a smaller number of contributing members. Reduced expenditures reflect 1) a mortgage extension approved for April and May (meaning we are not paying mortgage principal for 2 months after already having paid the mortgage interest in March) as well as 2) reduced personnel expense since we are no longer paying for a full time pastor.

MCC People of African Descent, Friends and Advocates Conference
The 2017 MCC PAD Conference theme GROUNDED IN LOVE reflects our commitment to stand firmly upon the firm foundation of God’s love for us — a love that compels us to live with a holy boldness that honors who we are and where we have come from and that also frees us to become who God is calling us to be.

This year's conference is in St Louis, MO. Need more information click here. Keep up with event info and let them know you are coming by RSVPing on their Facebook event page!
