Today we continued our theme of Elevation looking at, "Joining With What is Good - Practicality Unleashed." It was very cool the way that God made this lesson coincide with our Bridges II pledge banquet that we last week as the goals of that campaign is to build a physical bridge (church/community center) and relationship bridge in the Markham community.
Our lesson involves becoming a relational bridge builder in the following ways:
1. Praying for pre-Christians: Watch God work as you pray for specific people to come to know Jesus.
2. Invite a Friend Challenge: Bring one or more friends to our Sunday School class or Friday night events.
3. Serve the poor in Markham/York Region: Serve the less fortunate in our area.
4. Serve at Cornerstone: Help hosting/set up teams on Sunday mornings.
We also made a physical bridge building commitment:
I pledge to give _________ over the next three years towards the purchase of land so that Cornerstone can build a church/community center.
