It’s November, the days are getting shorter
and as much as we might try to ignore it, thoughts of Christmas start creeping
up. At Cornerstone we promote
“Christmas” projects, not projects that have will have an impact on Cornerstone
but on people who we will never meet.
Operation Christmas Child will put gift
boxes in the hands of children who may never have received a gift before. And
there are many families at Cornerstone that Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas
without filling a box or many boxes for children in developing countries.
Our second project, Clean Water for
Christmas, has raised funds to provide clean water for over a dozen villages in
Africa through the years. This year our
gifts will be matched dollar for dollar by another donor and used to cap fresh
water springs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
And no one at Cornerstone is poorer for
having taken part in these projects, but lives have been changed and without
hyperbole lives have been saved.
As a church family most of us have been blessed
and I want to thank you for the blessings that you have and will pass on to
folks who you will probably never meet, at least not on this side of eternity. Have a great week and remember: To see what
is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
