Every family please bring a holiday dessert on a nice platter. We'll eat and enjoy a skit from The Pied Pipers. Has anyone heard if Elvis or Santa is stopping by?
Christmas Presents for Homeless Children
Cornerstone is going to be collecting Christmas presents for homeless children. There are over 2,000 kids in the metro area that live in shelters or group homes. On December 7 and December 14, we will be collecting new, unwrapped, gifts for these kids. Please bring a gift (clothing, toys, sports equipment, gift cards, etc.) and place it under the Christmas tree set up in the foyer. Please also consider donating a gift for a teen. There are usually many more toys donated for young children, than presents for teens. Thanks for helping make these kid's holiday season a little brighter! See Kim Vance for more information.
