BGMC Sunday - Don’t forget BGMC Sunday is this Sunday! Bring your barrels no matter how full! If you do not have a child with a barrel, you still have the opportunity to contribute to the Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge during service! Your support is encouraging to our kids’ growing heart for missions and reaching others for Jesus!
Starting Wednesday, February 5th
Women's Bible Study - Jude, Contending for faith in today's culture. In this 7-session study from Jackie Hill Perry, dive into themes of being called, loved, and kept, and learn how to point others to Jesus in grace and truth. We serve others well when we share the whole gospel with them, not just the parts deemed attractive by our culture.
Cornerstone Women will meet for seven Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30 pm starting Wednesday, February 5th to March 19th. Please register and pay for your book to participate. Teen and college age girls are also encouraged to register for this study - a great opportunity to bring your daughter or granddaughter!

Fruit of Her Hands Artisan Bread Workshop
January 19th - February 16th
Horizon Pregnancy Clinic Baby Bottle Campaign! Every child in the womb is made by God through his powerful and sovereign act in creation. These lives are sacred no matter the circumstances by which they came to be. Horizon Pregnancy Clinic is a local resource for women who find themselves in crisis and unwanted pregnancies. Horizon provides, free of charge: pregnancy testing and confirmation through ultrasound, STI testing, options education, and medical referrals, abortion information, abortion pill information, adoption information, maternity and infant supplies, parenting education, and post-abortion support.
Please consider partnering with us to support Horizon financially through the Baby Bottle Campaign. Take an empty baby bottle (available at church on Sunday) and, over the next few weeks, fill it with change, cash, and checks made out to Horizon Pregnancy Clinic. All donations go straight to their frontline work of helping pregnant women and struggling mothers.
“Pregnant and need help?”
“Have you experienced abortion?”
Cornerstone partners with Horizon Pregnancy Clinic to give help and comfort to those who find themselves in an unwanted pregnancy. Horizon is also an excellent resource for both women and men who are feeling regret or sorrow over their abortion.

Bible In A Year - Join us in reading the entire Bible in 2025! If you’ve never read the Bible all the way through, we highly encourage you to journey through scripture with us in this format to get an overall picture of the unfolding story of God. Each day you will be reading in the Old and New Testaments as well as Psalms and Proverbs. If you have done this before and want to stay on a consistent reading plan, jump in with us again! The Holy Spirit will encourage your reading and equip you with understanding as you live in submission to Christ. If you miss a day or a week, hop back in on the current day. Use any combination of reading a paper Bible, reading in the app, and listening in the app. It’s all valuable! This year we are reading through The One Year Bible. You can order it HERE, or if you already have a copy, feel free to use it or your own Bible. Check out our info page for links to the Bible app plan, a printable plan, and more resources.
