Tonight we celebrate the ordinance of communion at 6 p.m.

**************************************************

The excitement is building for the kickoff of our FELLOWSHIP GROUPS on November 2^nd. There is still space in most groups and several couples and individuals have not yet signed up. Remember -- these groups will be the focal point for relationships and evangelism at Cornerstone, so every member of Cornerstone should be involved. You must sign up today or next Sunday.

**************************************************

A CALL TO YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS: You need to get involved in helping with the weekly cleaning of the building. Couples are welcome or make it really fun and serve together as a group (you can top it off with lunch or dinner!). Please contact Sandy Moyer or Tom Flanigan to join the team.

**************************************************

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Cornerstone’s New Member Class will be offered on Sunday, November 23rd. You needn’t join if you attend but attendance is required prior to membership.
