Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

As we endeavor to glorify Christ by leading people to Know Jesus, Grow into His likeness, and Go make Him known, you have the opportunity to grow in your faith and develop a deeper understanding of The Gift of the Holy Spirit. During the study, we will look at the third Person of the Godhead as the Bible presents Him and His work. Please commit to joining us for this study, as we expect it to be most profitable for our souls.

O Church Arise
Cornerstone Family, we are sad to inform you that Josh Littler—former pastor at Cornerstone and current lead pastor at Faith Baptist Church of Streetsboro—lost his wife, Janah, yesterday following a prolonged illness. We ask that you keep Josh, his children Brendan, Austin, and Ellen, as well as both families, in your prayers during this difficult time. Please pray for comfort and peace and that only Jesus can provide. Updates regarding arrangements will be shared once available.
We also need to let you know, last night, Janice Farmer's mother passed away peacefully in her sleep. Janice says it was such a relief she passed at home. And she will forever rejoice that her mom and dad raised them in a Christian home and she will see them again. Would you also remember Janice and her family in you prayers, praying for solace in the knowledge that her mother is rejoicing in heaven surrounded by God's glory and love. Arrangements will be shared once available.

A “Sunshine Box” for the Wilmot children
Cornerstone’s Women’s Ministry team is asking for your help in assembling a “Sunshine Box” for the five children of Tim and Sarah Wilmot, ages 1 - 12.
A "Sunshine Box" is a box filled with wrapped gifts (or gift bags) for the children, where one can be pulled out and unwrapped on a morning or afternoon that might seem especially hard for either the children or caregivers. The wrapped gift items would be something fresh and new that would occupy the children for a little while and give the caregiver a little respite. Ideas for the “Sunshine Box” could be board games, coloring books and crayons, bubbles and jump ropes, puzzle books, handicrafts, matchbox cars, paper dolls, sidewalk chalk, “How to Draw” or Hidden Picture or sticker books, etc.
If you, your small group, Bible study group, or group of friends would like to contribute, there will be a plastic container by the Women's Ministry table in the foyer until Sunday March 29th.
Please wrap your gift or package in a gift bag. Also, please include a card on the outside of your wrapped gift for the caregiver so that they can know what is inside and select an appropriate item for the need for that day.
Thank you for your generosity and willingness to bless the Wilmot children and their caregivers. If you have any questions, please see Tish Bontrager.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

🌹Spring Women's Fellowship Breakfast🌹
Save the Date!
Our next Women’s Fellowship Breakfast will be held on April 18th, and we would love for you to join us!
We’ll enjoy delicious food and sweet fellowship as we hear from our sister in Christ, Sarah Presley, who will share how God has been faithful in her life. Sarah will speak about a season of waiting the Lord led her through—how He taught her to trust His timing, rest in His plan, and see His goodness even in the waiting. This is a wonderful opportunity to be encouraged and reminded of God’s faithfulness in every season. Stay tuned for further info - Registration opens soon!
Ministry Opportunity - Bible Readers Needed
Men and women are needed to spend time with residents at a local nursing home bringing encouragement through reading Scripture, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13. The time commitment is not great, and the rewards are eternal. The only requirement is the ability to read and a desire to “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2. Please see Barb Burkholder for more information and to be a part of this important ministry to an often-overlooked group of people.
