Rehoboth Beach & Boardwalk


Cornerstone and Crossroads are going to the beach on July 13th, you and your friends won't want to miss it! We'll load up the bus with your beach stuff, towels, chairs, sunscreen, Frisbees, and friends.
Bring $$ for food for the day and things you want to do on the boardwalk. We leave promptly at 7am (arrive 6:30) from Southgate and return at 8pm. Cost $32 for a spot on the bus.
Register online to make sure you get a spot!
Greetings!
Summer is full of fun, exciting things in the youth ministry from the beach to mini-golf. All the events are designed to help your kids grow in Christ and connect with others. To further facilitate the growth of kids this summer, we have 10 college students who have joined our staff for the summer.

Join us in welcoming the summer staff for 2011:
High School -JD McAleer, Christian Holmes, Maddie Parks, Lucas Alderfer, Anna Glendening
Middle School-David Sturgeon, Luke Jeffery, Becca Lee, Graham Thompson
Special Needs/Capernaum-Caitlin Jeffery

 

These wonderful people would love to spend time with your son or daughter throughout the summer and help point them toward Christ. Look forward to a call from one of them! Invite them over for lunch with your kids or let them know what your kids like to do for fun.

Surprise, You're in Cornerstone!
June 5th is the day we come "Kidnap" the 8th graders from Crossroads, and bring them into Cornerstone. A team of dedicated high school students will take each one under their wings for the evening. It is a surprise so don't let your student know. They will eat with the high school, go to Cornerstone, and then have their normal small groups. It will all be done by 8:45pm, so plan rides accordingly.

From June 5th on, current 8th graders are invited to Summer Cstone, Pool Party or other events as part of Cornerstone. Here is the calendar.
