Cornerstone Game Night

WHEN: Fri, Jan 9, 7:30pm

WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg 

We kick off the year with our social of the month--Game Night, put on by Annie's small group.  There will be fun games and snacks... feel free to invite your friends!

Christmas Outreach Service - Drinks Requested

This Sunday's Christmas service will be followed with a time of refreshments and mingling.  Cornerstone is responsible for bringing drinks, and we need 15-20 people to bring ONE drink (like a quart of OJ, a container of apple juice, a jug of tea, a 2-liter soda, etc.).  Please respond to Justin if you can bring a drink so he will know if we will have enough.  Thanks!

And don't forget to invite your friends to our special English Christmas Service!

Trail of Lights Outreach

WHEN: Sat, Dec 20th, 4-10pm (includes day training & evening outreach)

WHERE: See website for details

Set aside some time to witness 1-on-1 with the lost at the Zilker Trail of Lights.  It's an ideal setting for sharing the true meaning of Christmas and grasp God's heart for the world (nearly 90% of Austin is unchurched).  Our God is worthy of our love and obedience. 

For details and registration, see CEBC's website.  For any questions, contact Alex via email or phone (512.560.0583).

Building Community Over Socks, Support-Raising, and Snacks!

WHEN: Fri Dec 19th, 7:30pm

WHERE: ACC Carey Bldg

Need some help around the house? Or maybe a free home-cooked meal?

Then invite your friends and join us this Friday at our first-ever Socks and Services Auction! This will be a great chance to get to know each other over some friendly bidding and yummy Christmas snacks - all for a great cause (Mission Possible).

In order to "buy" a product or a service, you'll bid using pairs of socks. We're hoping to raise 400 PAIRS OF SOCKS for Mission Possible during this event, so get out that Costco card and buy some socks!! The more socks you bring, the more stuff you get to bid on!

An Evite has been sent out... if you haven't received it, please let us know!  ***If you'd like to auction off an item or service, please include the description in your RSVP (we've included some ideas in the Evite).*** Their small group has prepared a special presentation to go with it that you also won't want to miss!

Thank You - from the Austin Samaritans

If you recall, we helped out with the Austin Samaritans organization back in October... see what your help accomplished!

Hi Yall,

 

Thank you so much for your help this year at the medical warehouse. We are shipping out a container within the next 2 weeks. This wouldn't be possible with you and your organization's help. We hope to make another shipment soon as the year 2009 approaches. Please feel free to email me if your group would like to help out again next year. The medical warehouse is already full of more supplies for schools and health clinics in Nicaragua. I am currently working on arranging volunteer groups to help out on Saturdays in Janurary and February. Just email me some dates when your group would like to help out again.  

 

Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

 

Best wishes,

               Emily Hsu

ACC Christmas Celebration - "The Christmas Offering"

WHEN: Sat Dec 13th, 7pm
WHERE: ACC Taylor Gym

This Saturday, we are having a joint celebration at ACC, in remembrance of Christ's birth. This Christmas musical celebration includes a cantata, carol singing, a silent drama, and a short message. Many people are more open to participate in celebrating Christmas the holidays, so keep in mind your friends and coworkers who could be interested (and let them know child care is provided for those 4 yrs and under). Refreshments will follow afterwards.
