VBS

We have been having quite a week at VBS. Only one day left. Come Sunday and see some of the decorations, hear some of the stories and sing some of the songs. 10:00 Sunday. See you then.

What's your talent?

God has made each of you with unique interests---different from anyone else on earth. When you use those interests, gifts, talents, passions that God has given you it is a way of worshipping God. You add to the Kingdom of God when you use those talents.
At KIDS celebrate you can create some type of presentation or display that can use your gifts and honor God. Maybe you want to build a Lego creation to illustrate a Bible story. Perhaps you want to create a PowerPoint to share your favorite verse. Maybe you want to bring items you have made and sell them for a cause like Heifer International. The possibilities are endless. Please think of a way you can share during KIDS celebrate on August 5 at noon.
Don't forget to RSVP to teri@cornerstone4u.org

summer schedule changes

As most of you know...KIDS at the Lake has been postponed. Chuck and Tina were to be our hosts, but their recent famiy needs prevent them from hosting at this time. If it is possible to reschedule we will get that info out as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding.

SENT

Our lives become very compartmentalized. Maybe it’s just mine. My brain is so compartmentalized that I have to go to the grocery store for each separate event I need groceries for. I have decided maybe it is a survival technique. I can’t bear to think about all the upcoming things I need to do. That would be too overwhelming. Instead I focus on one aspect and manage that—then move on to the next. Consequently, my life can be more complicated by the disjointedness of my thinking.

Asking families to be involved in SENT may feel like a separate compartment that you need to add and manage in your already overloaded schedules. After all we as families have many compartments. Right? School. Sports. Music. Family. Church. How can we add one more. There are too many to deal with. We will never get around to SENT compartment.

My challenge to you, as families, is to not think of SENT as a separate “thing” to be gotten around to. Think of SENT as the “way” in which you are going to get around to all those other things. SENT is a mindset, an awareness of those around you, as you go about your everyday life, and how you can offer friendship that brings hope.

After all Jesus said, “The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things…” John 14:12 What greater things are you being SENT to?
