Dear Cornerstone Church Family,

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my
prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 1:3-5

I am so thankful for how much ministry the Lord has allowed us to do during this Covid, Lockdown,
Quarantine period! We have been meeting together since June, outdoors since July. We have had Vacation
Bible School, Weekly Men’s and Women’s Studies, AWANA, at home Outdoor Fellowship Groups, prayer
meetings and more. Currently we are active in helping families that lost their homes in the Bobcat fires. Our
elders fund has been generously filled by you and then abundantly used helping church families who have not
had much work during this difficult season. I have often heard people say, “My friends are amazed at how
much our little church is doing during this time!” It is my pleasure to do God’s work with you!

Sunday Service Times I want to give you an outlook for the next couple of months concerning Sunday
mornings. Currently, LA County is still in the highest lockdown protocol within the state. There is
conversation about it moving to a level down which will allow some things to change for insides venues. We
decided during the summer that it was not good for us to be at the weekly whims of the state decisions, so with
that in mind we will continue outside services Sunday mornings at 9:00 throughout October and November. We
can reach more people outside than we can inside under the current protocols. On the first of November, “Fall
Back” Daylight Savings Time change, will actually work to our benefit by moving the 9:00 service one hour
further away from sunrise when it will be warmer. If bad weather comes along we’ll make adjustments as
needed.

All Church Prayer Meeting Please join us for the monthly all church Zoom Prayer Meeting this
Tuesday, October 13th at 7 p.m. The link is in the Cornerstone Connections, also in this email.
Sunday Morning Where to Park Your Car Help! On Sunday morning, will some of you park along
Avenue T in front of the church? It will help buffer some of the traffic noise. There is plenty of room for you to
park off the street near the front lawn.

Sanitizing and Set Up Help Our Sanitizing and set up teams are doing a great job for us every Sunday
and in some cases working the day before! It would be great if 6-10 more people come forward to help them.
Please contact the church office to help!

I’m looking forward to seeing you this Sunday both at church and at the Outdoor Fellowship time
immediately afterwards! See the Connection for details!

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of
Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are
all partakers with me of grace, . . . in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. Philippians 1:6-7

With great love in Christ,

Pastor Jim
