Parable of the Billy Goats Gruff

Join us for worship on Sunday as we wrap up Pride Week with a celebration of Founder's Day at Cornerstone MCC. We are celebrating thirty-three years of ministry in Mobile! Our special guest this week will be our founding pastor Rev Marge Ragona. Her ministry at Cornerstone in the early 1980's included providing compassionate care for those suffering from HIV/AIDS at the peak of the epidemic. In fact, her initial work paved the way for what is now known as AIDS Alabama South . Come hear this social justice pioneer share stories of her life and celebrate Founder's Day with us!

April Showers Bring May Flowers
April is cloudy with a chance of MEATBALLS, which brings me to the Outreach monthly Community Cares.

I would like to challenge the congregation to dig deep. Outreach is taking donations of boxes of thin spaghetti and canned pasta sauce for the whole month of April for One-Meal.

Spaghetti and Sauce will be delivered the first week of May. One-Meal has offered to put our logo on their travel trailer for sponsorship. So any creative people out there, we need ideas to bring to the BOD while also seeking someone to help with vinyl lettering.

Any questions please contact Heidi Robinson (Outreach).

To All Ministry Teams
Thank you for your service to Cornerstone MCC and for what your team has accomplished thus far. We are excited to be starting something a little different at Cornerstone in the way we Minister and Lead. We are moving to a Staff Centered Organizational Model starting May 2018. The new Model will have two Ministry Staff that will oversee the Ministry Team Leaders.

Due to the size of our congregation, we have reorganized and combined some of our Ministry Teams. We would like to meet on Sunday, May 6 , after Worship Service to discuss the changes and reorganization of our teams. This will give each team leader and member an opportunity to decide if you wish to stay on your current team or find a new one. Be in prayer until then about what God is calling you to do in the life of and ministry of Cornerstone MCC.

We had a great turn out for Habitat this past Saturday with 13 volunteers. We completed all that was scheduled for the day and finished around 3:00pm. Although it was hard work we did take time to laugh and share a meal together. What a great group of people!! It was a very successful day.
