This Week: Dec. 4th Thru 10th

** Next Sunday is our Youth Christmas Program. We will have a light carry in of deserts that are being provided! You will not need to bring anything for carry in unless you desire to bring a desert! 

** The new website and email are active and are the new contact locations for all things Cornerstone Fellowship of DeGraff. https://www.cornerstonedegraff.org/ is online but still a work in progress. You are hopefully using the new [email protected] for the church email. 

** There are positions available within the church for you to get involved and belong to this body of believers. I hope that you are prayerfully looking for the ways in which God is seeking for you to grow in your faith, and serve others so that you might have the opportunity to see God at work!

The free community produce tent is done for the year. We have some lumber that needs to make its way to the church and set up as a more permanent lean-to structure for next year. This can likely wait until spring. 

** Our Advent series will be based on the book, Hidden Christmas by Timothy Keller. How are the details of Christmas often missed for the simple version. How can we go deeper this Christmas?
