Asking
for a pianist: Cornerstone Commons, the
Assisted Living and Memory Care facility across the street, is offering a
ministry opportunity. They are looking for people who are willing to share
their ability to play the piano (or other musical talents) for Sunday Chapel
services or other times at Cornerstone Commons. They have many residents who
are unable to attend Sunday Worship at a local church. This offers an opportunity for you to help
them worship the Lord and express their faith.
If
this is something you might wish to take part in please contact Cornerstone
Commons chaplain, Jim Vogt, at 763-390-1827 for more information. Thank you for
considering this opportunity to touch lives for the Lord
