This Week: Nov. 6th thru Nov. 12th

** 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!
