2009 E2 Conference

It is hard to believe the e2 conference has come and gone at Cornerstone. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so rich in every service and people left on Saturday fully equipped to be more effective in their churches. Last evening, I was evaluating over the number of people from Cornerstone church who helped make the conference a huge success. Countless hours of changing light bulbs, scrubbing and mopping floors, buying material and food items for the kitchen, companies lending their equipment, chairs transported from one room to the other, sound, lighting and media technicians, security,volunteers before and after services in kitchen, tables up and tables down, ushers, greeters, hospitality, nursery volunteers and so much more brings a great sense of servanthood. My heart leaped inside to watch the volunteers from our church respond to a need and step into action to serve the people of Southern Ohio. It reminds of the church found in Acts 2:44 "...and had all things common." The volunteers at Cornerstone church are to be commended for demonstrating the love of Christ, and reflecting the true spirit of service to the body of Christ. All things common, were shown when I witnessed our people serve and fight their way through the distractions of sickness, work, finances and probably many others I don't even know about. We truly found the secret and discovery of how a church needs to function. Simply, making ourselves available to kingdom purposes through our fellowship with Jesus and one to another. This is why we serve together and to one another. By serving one another, we reflect the image of Christ like passion and love. By serving together, we are reminded how much can be accomplished when more are involved in the serving. In other words, the more who choose to serve, the more productive we can be to touch the lives of people-the way Jesus would touch them. Thank you so much, for your willingness to bind together as a church serving family and touch the lives of people in Southern Ohio. We serve a great and holy God.
