Cornerstone Elders Monthly Newsletter
May - 2024
Cornerstone has been a busy family this month. We were excited to bring Nate Davis to the elder board. He has jumped in with both feet taking on the communion message in June. He is also not afraid to ask lots of catch-up questions during his first elder meeting. Be sure to thank and encourage him when you see him. I’m sure he would be happy to share his perspective on how the elder meetings are handled. If you don’t know Nate you can find his photo on the super nifty diagram of the church’s structure. It is located on the wall opposite of the kitchen.
We are sad to see Corey and Ryan, directors of worship and creative arts respectively, close their chapters with Cornerstone. The elders are praying for them to be abundantly blessed as they fulfill every work prompted by their faith (2 Thes 1:11). Be praying for the interim directors as they keep the ministries sailing and that the Spirit brings those gifted and filled with a heart like His to fill those positions.
On July 14th Cornerstone will have a ministry fair after service. This is a great time, especially if you are new to the church, to meet the directors and ask questions. Maybe you just want to know why we do what we do, or don’t do certain things that you might expect. Hopefully you check the ministries out to see where you may be called to participate with the work of your Cornerstone family. Lunch is provided, but make sure you RSVP on the church website.
If you are looking to dig deep into theology, consider yourself somewhat nerdy, or just want to swim at the deep end for a while, Jesse Palm will be offering a seminary style class covering Wayne Grudem’s book, Systematic Theology. It will be an eight week class beginning in August. Signups will be coming to the website soon. If you see Jesse ask him about it and be prepared for some intense conversation.
Finally, a dear saint, Diane Holt, has gone to be in the presence of our savior. It has been a privilege to pray for and support the Holt family during this time. Dianne served the church in many ways including overseeing the young children. She was a prayer warrior, praying for many of you. She was a solid rock, a faithful servant, an encourager, and a gentle soul that will be greatly missed. Cornerstone will be hosting her funeral Saturday June 29th at 7:00pm. Join us in praying for the Holts.

Elders Update Fall 2025 Volume 1 | Issue 1 Fall, 2025 Elders’ Update …may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you.” 1 Thes. 3:12 There is much occurring at Cornerstone about which we the Elders are excited and encouraged! Let’s take a peek at some upcoming events! Fall Fellowship Sat. 10/4, 5-8p here at the church As Elders, we love to worship with the Body, pray with the Body, and of course visit with you as well in your homes. Sometimes we also love to just relax, throw some cornhole bags, and enjoy a freshly grilled hot-dog or burger! Bonfire, the Kona-Ice truck, hayrides – we’ll be having all the typical Midwest fun one has at an outdoor gathering like this! Make sure you come out to meet and fellowship with the Body! PS: This is a GREAT event to bring someone who may be a bit nervous or intimidated by coming to a Sunday gathering, or a person with whom you have been building a relationship. This Fall Fellowship event is very informal, relaxed and fun! City Quake Evangelism Conference Wed. 10/15 -Sat. 10/18 at Family of Faith Church We have the opportunity as a Body to participate in a 3-day conference equipping us to better share our faith and invite others into a relationship with Jesus! Beginning Wed. 10/15, City Quake will be leading sessions on How to Share our Faith. Additionally, each day we will have opportunity to practice what we are learning by evangelizing in the Newark community. Tickets are $90 for all sessions, and the conference will be held at Family of Faith Church on Mt. Vernon Rd. in Newark. We are excited for this opportunity to not only meet and fellowship with members of area churches, but also grow in our confidence and ability to effectively share the Gospel in our community! “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9 Current Sermon Series We hope you have been edified and encouraged by the current sermon series on Confession and Repentance! We have been given many encouraging testimonies from individuals who have actively engaged these two foundational disciplines in their lives. Keep pressing in, everyone! The Lord honors the repentant heart! We can attest that it is in times of our most authentic repentance that we have grown the most in our personal lives. Upon completion of this series, we will begin our new sermon series the first Sunday in October. Get ready to study through the book of Mark! Encouragement to the Body: We were very encouraged to see so many of you at service ON TIME. It is important evidence of our commitment to the Lord that we think Him worthy of our BEST. One way we show that is by treating Worship and Sunday service as a non-negotiable part of our week. We arrive early so we can greet our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and are ready to engage worship promptly at 10am. Consider this adage I often (half)jokingly reminded my Youth Ministry volunteers: “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on-time, you’re late. If you’re late, you’re fired!” ? Too often we take an approach to Sunday service that indicates a less-than-urgent attitude about worshipping God. We arrive when it’s convenient, late, or stroll in without an attitude of reverence or eagerness for what we are about to do: engage the Holy, Righteous God of the universe! Heed the exhortation, Believer: treat the Sunday Service as a celebration to which you will not be late. You wouldn’t DREAM of being late to a Buckeye football game – why do we think we can give God less?? If and as we are regularly in prayer during the week, and even especially in confession and repentance, surely we will be eager to “come into the Lord’s house with thanksgiving and His courts with praise”! Cornerstone Church 4905 Jacksontown Rd, Heath, OH 43056 Get to know your Elders! This edition’s feature Elder in the spotlight is Nate Davis! Nate is married to Anna and has 4 lovely daughters. He loves to ride his motorcycle and is always willing to talk shop about riding. Nate has been an Elder since 2024 and is also part of our Teaching Team. Nate is currently excited about a podcast he is listening to about Church History called “Church History and Theology” by Tim Easley. Give it a listen!
