Cornerstone Manor Ministry
August 11, 2010
Every 2nd Friday of every month we at Bible Pres. are blessed to open Gods Word with and show Gods love to, the women and children of the Cornerstone Manor Women’s shelter.
With the help of so many of you we are honored to reach out to those in need in many special ways. First we feed a snack to all the residents of the Manor, both the women and their children. Thank you for all who selflessly bake and provide these snacks month after month.
Then the women and children come down for our Chapel worship service. We are able to begin early in each service by praising our Lord as we are so blessed with many gifted musicians who play guitars, and even a ukulele, as we sing 3 hymns or praise songs during our service and pray with them as well. Thank you to those who serve in vital portions of this ministry diligently and faithfully.
Typically after the second song, if there are enough children, (and enough workers to work with the children), we send the children upstairs to hold a Cornerstone Kids ministry where we read them Bible stories, sing children’s praise songs with them, and do arts and crafts or play games with them.
After the second song in our worship service we begin the most important part of this ministry as we open Gods word and let its power touch the hearts and lives of the women present, (and ours too naturally). His word never goes forth void. I have seen it change the lives of these women as they often attest to after the service when they come up for prayer or to speak to us. God is often so clearly working in their hearts and lives during these hardest times they are experiencing.
Think about it. Can’t you look back at your hardest times in life and admit this is when God had changed you the most? I myself can, and often do, testify that at my own lowest point in life, that is when He “grabbed me” and literally brought me to my knees in saving faith. Many women at Cornerstone Manor are bowing down in saving faith before the Lord of all creation during this difficult stage in their life as well. Some already know the Lord but they testify they are encouraged by His word.
What better way is there to serve them then to bring them the truth of God’s holy and inspired word we ourselves hold with such high regard and due reverence. This is our honor and duty as we seek to go forth as ambassadors of Christ. All are welcome to join us as we do so monthly…. as long as the Lord shall tarry.
