Friday, December 9th, 2011Cornerstone will be offering more small groups this spring! To get there, we are putting together a special short-term training group for people who would like to lead small groups. This group will be held Monday nights from Jan. 23 to March 12 at 7 pm at the church.
You will learn the ins and outs of leading a group, with plenty of time to practice skills. We will also explore different sorts of groups we could offer at the church and help you decide which is the best kind for you to lead.
No prior group-leading experience is necessary, and you don’t have to be an expert on the Bible or theology. All you need is a desire to help people grow in their Christian faith while you grow in yours. We will ask each person in the group to help lead a new small group starting in April. For more information or to sign up, email Becky Copeland

Friday, March 13th, 2009Do you like to get together and enjoy a nice rich cake, pie, ice cream, or cookies? Then we have an opportunity for you!
Cornerstone is organizing groups of six to get together monthly from April to September for dessert nights. We are calling it “Simply Desserts.” The purpose of these groups is to enjoy each other’s company and get to know each other better. This is not a Bible study but a social event.
Depending on who signs up, the groups will be arranged either demographically or by age. Each person will take a turn “hosting” one of the nights, and when it is their turn, and it is up to them to decide if they want to meet at their home, or out at a restaurant.
In October we will get together at the church for a wrap-up social. Please stop by the table in the Commons area this month and sign up. If you have any questions, please email Andrea DeSantis or call her at 410 869-0376.
