NOVEMBER 2019

THANK YOU to the Duncannon American Legion, Post 340 for

once again supporting this event by generously donating turkeys!

Katrina Boyer

I can’t believe October is almost over! We are officially under five weeks from Thanksgiving! This year our committee has been meeting regularly to ensure that the EIGHTH annual Thanksgiv-

ing dinner at Conerstone is our BEST YET!

Thanksgiving has always had a very special place in my heart; it was my mom’s favorite holiday, and growing up we always host-ed Thanksgiving in our home—we sometimes served more than 25 people, including family, friends, friends of friends, neighbors, or even military personnel that were unable to be home with their families. My mom believed that nobody should be alone for Thanksgiving. This is where my heart for this ministry comes from. Being alone on Thanksgiving is a terrible feeling and we don’t want any person or family to feel this way. While we serve hundreds of people in our beautifully decorated multi-purpose room, we do the best we can to make our guests feel at home.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to see this ministry in action, I would encourage you to stop in and see God’s work for yourself. Every table in our dining room is prayed over, all our takeout and delivered meals are also blessed and prayed over before they leave the church. Seeing all our volunteers hard at work, serving the Lord, is a hum-bling experience. It always reminds me of the first Thanksgiving when people of dif-ferent cultures came together to celebrate the bountiful harvest.

As you begin to plan your own Thanksgivings, I hope that you’ll take the time to pray for the individuals God will bring to our church or who will otherwise be impacted by our efforts. You’ll be seeing the sign-up sheet/board for food donations in the next couple of weeks, so be on the look out for that, and be thinking about how you may want to contribute to this Reach ministry.

This year we will be asking volunteers to sign-up via the website, or go to https://ttsu.me/2019thanksgiving and fill out the form. Don’t worry, I am certain it will be painless! The committee hopes to also have iPads available for you to register at the church on Sunday mornings. I know how much we hate change, but this will be so helpful for me when trying to determine where I need volunteers. We will just be asking you for five simple things—your name, email address, cell phone number (and can we text you), the time of day you plan to be available, and if you have a job preference. If you tell us you will work anywhere, don’t be surprised when we assign you to a group!

If you have questions, suggestions, or need to reach me, contact me by email (katrboyer@yahoo.com) or voice/ text (717-514-

2375). I am so excited about this year’s meal! I hope and pray that you are too. God is good, and it is so good to share His love with our community.

All the Whos down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not.

This holiday classic tells the tale of the Grinch, living on Mt. Crumpit, plotting ways to

destroy the Christmas cheer in Who-ville. He resented the Whos for their joyful celebrations and bright decora-tions. We view him as a villian, but have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, there’s a little Grinch inside all of us?

You’re invited to a special Christmas Eve service at Cornerstone where we’ll remind the Grinch in all of us that kindness and love are the things that matter the most, at Christmas and all year long.

With the holiday season just around the corner, Cornerstone partners with Susquenita School District’s Adopt-A-Family program by spon-soring children and families in our community for Christmas. This

year, Cornerstone has committed to adopt 100 children from the district. Be on the lookout for our Adopt-A-Family Christmas Tree in the lobby in mid-Novem-ber filled with ornaments representing needs for these children and families.

If you know a family in need that is not already being helped by a community organization (Susquenita, Join Hands, etc), please contact Megan Safko (megan@cccduncannon.com or 717-834-4641).

Here’s a simple way to bring a little Christmas cheer to those service members away from home during the Christmas holidays. If you would like to send

Christmas cards to a service member, please give your signed cards to Sue Comp or drop them off in the church office by Sunday, December 1. She has contact information for a few service members, and will mail the cards to them to distribute on the bases they are assigned to (one will be in boot camp). Cards should not have glitter on them, no confetti in them, and should not be musical. It’s not neces-sary, but feel free to help with mailing costs.

If you have cards you would like to send to Greg Comp and Noah Liddick specifically, please give them to Sue Comp or Lisa Liddick.

Look who got hitched!

The church exists by mission, as fire exists by burning.Emil Brunner

All in God’s timingAlan Tech

First off, I want to say “thank you” to all our friends and family here at Cornerstone Church who have been praying for me.

For several years, I had been having symptoms of a health problem. After getting results of a blood test, my doctor made an appointment for me to see an endocrinologist. A month goes by. Another blood test to confirm the find-ings. More waiting. Finally, on Friday, May 10, I had an MRI of my head, with a return trip on Monday to pick up the results. My wife, Patti, and I sat in the car and read the single line of the report—a tumor on my pituitary gland—and no doctor around to explain what this all meant. Later I found out that they would not be able to tell the difference between the tumor and the pituitary gland, and would not know if my pituitary gland would be damaged during sur-gery. Serious stuff! The pituitary gland controls all of your organs, including the kidneys.

Another two weeks pass. I see the endocrinologist and set up an appointment with a neurosurgeon at Holy Spirit Hospital. Four more weeks pass. Finally, on June 18, I see the neurosurgeon to set up another MRI for July 1, only to get a call on June 21 from his office notifying me he had quit his practice. (I guess he took one look at me and got scared off—not the first person on whom I have had this effect!)

On July 18 I see a new neurosurgeon. More tests were scheduled, and surgery was set for August 5 at Holy Spirit. But because Holy Spirit didn’t have the right equipment yet, the surgery was moved to August 21. Two weeks later, another phone call moved the surgery to Hershey Medical Center, since it had the right equipment and a specialist to assist my neurosurgeon. Another two weeks pass, and my surgery is finally scheduled for Monday, August 26.

You may wonder why I’ve mentioned all the delays from when I found out about the tumor to when I went in for surgery. It is critical for “the rest of the story,” as Paul Har-vey used to say.

After my surgery, the hormones that control how much fluid the kidneys remove from your body were messed up, and my kidneys began overworking. I became extremely dehydrated, and my legs went numb and cramped up. (I still have residual numbness from this.) Over the course of

the next six weeks, my body was a yo yo of fluid retention, dehydration, and low sodium levels. By Monday night, Sep-tember 30, I was back in the hospital in critical condition. Two days later my levels were back to normal, but again things went downhill. I got a visit from a friend of mine who had the same surgery in 2013 and left the hospital four days later. I told my friend God must have a purpose for all of this.

That Thursday, October 3, I was moved out of critical care and into a room upstairs. I began talking to my roommate, a diabetic who was having his right leg removed due to infection. His son had been killed in an accident a few years ago and he was struggling with why God takes one person young and others live to old age. I told him we live in a world that is broken because of sin, and bad things hap-pen all the time. Hence you have to be ready to meet God at any time. While we were talking,his nurse came in and told me to stop talking like that to him. When she was done attending to my roommate, she left the room and another nurse came in. He erased her name from my roommate’s board and my nurse’s name off my board. Because of an emergency both nurses were assigned to other patients. While he was attending to our needs, I asked him if he was a Christian. He replied that he was. I looked at him and told him he was an angel (Hebrews 13:2) because my room-mate’s nurse didn’t want to hear talk about God and Jesus. He just smiled and left the room.

I fell asleep for awhile and awoke to see my original nurse’s name back on my board. I never saw my “angel” again, but the next day everyone who came into the room was either singing Christian songs or talking about Jesus. I believe the room was annointed.

I believe God had kept His hand on me from when I first heard about my tumor and allowed me to remain sick to bring me to this appointed place and time. He had pre-pared this for me before I was born (Ephesians 2:16), allowing me to join in His suffering for a season to bring someone to Him who He loves very much, who was strug-gling with doubt and pain over losing a child he loved. God knows your pain—He too lost a Son because of the sin in the world. But Jesus was not lost—death could not keep Him. And because He lives we shall live also. Glory to God!

Each of us is born with a built-in GPS, God’s Positioning System, a sophisticated navigational package that divinely aligns us with people and events and keeps us from los-ing our way.Squire Rushnell

Dinner at Lumberjacks Up Routes 11&15 from Duncannon is a little- known treasure of good food at Lumberjacks Restau- rant. On Saturday evening, November 16, at 6pm, let’s trek up the road for some delicious food and good conversations. I need to make a reservation for the dinner, so please RSVP by Sunday, November 9 to Pam Hoover (phoover405@comcast.net or 717-829-5211).

Christmas Wonderland 2019Because of the popularity of Christian Life Assembly’s pro-ductions, it’s time to start thinking about the Christmas mu-sical, A Christmas Legacy. Tickets for the Sunday, Decem-ber 8 performance at 3pm are $15. Public ticket sales began Saturday, October 26 at 9am at claproductions.com or 717-737-1887. If you let me know by Sunday, Novem-ber 3, I can try to get group seating, but that may be iffy. You may have better luck ordering the tickets yourselves.

We’ll also eat lunch before the play at Hoss’s off Route 15 next to Ashcomb’s at 12:30. Let me know by November 17 if you would like to join us for lunch as a group.

Breakfast Bunch

The Breakfast Bunch will meet for breakfast at the Marysville Diner on Wednesday, Novem-

ber 13 at 9am. All are welcome—be sure to join us for a brief devotion from Pastor Tom Smith, great food, and good conversation!

Cornerstone uses a software system called “Breeze” to help manage all of the new and familiar faces, events, and teams. If you have not yet set up

your Breeze profile, it can help you stay connected to vol-unteer schedules, events, and leaders. (Note: Breeze is not a social media platform so you cannot “meet” new people at Cornerstone. Rather, we encourage you to get involved in a Connect group or ministry team to get to know some new folks in the Cornerstone family.) Visit cccduncannon. breezechms.com to get a user name. If you have any trouble or if you have any questions about Breeze or con-tacting someone at the church, you can always ask us at the office!

What’s next?Next Steps Class • Take the next step! Join us for a brief get-together and learn more about our mission and vision and how you can get connected at Cornerstone. Whether you’ve been attending for one week or 10 years, you’re invited to learn more about our purpose, our future, and how you can play a part in that. Volunteering will give you a sense of joy nothing else can match. We’d love to have you join the team and be part of that.

The Next Steps will be offered approximately every six weeks, beginning Sunday, November 3 at 11:30 (fol-lowing the 2nd service) in the Conference Room. Other classes are December 15 and January 26. By offering these classes frequently, we hope to create more contact points with new guests and attendees and help them navigate our many connection opportunities to build relationships in the Cornerstone family. RSVP at Guest Services or at cccduncannon.com/events. A light lunch/refreshments will be available.

Partnership Class • After attending a Next Steps class, we invite you to attend a Partnership Class, open to everyone ready to officially join the Cornerstone family and commit-ted to partnering with us and supporting the Cornerstone family. This class will review elements of Celebrate, Con-nect, and Reach, and detail the expectations of a partner. Partners will be required to sign a “Partnership Promise” and will be presented to the congregation after the class. Partnership Classes will be planned twice a year beginning Sunday, November 10.

God’s peace is not the calm after the storm; it’s the steadfastness during it.

• Buy a cup of coffee for the person behind you in line• Write an anonymous encouragement note for a neighbor

or co-worker• Leave a big tip for your server• Smile• Bring in a snack or treat for your coworkers for no

reason• Raking your leaves? Offer to rake your neighbor’s yard

too.• Paint a rock and hide it at a park or public area• Volunteer your time• Help someone with their groceries

Drop off deadline is November 9, 2019 at all Blue Ridge Communications offices.

Monetary DonationsMonetary donations are needed to help us ship the care packages. This is always our biggest need by far. Shipping costs have increased and it doesn’t matter how much “stuff” we have, if we don’t have money to ship it. There are thousands of troops who are counting on us to send them some love and cheer from home!Please note:1) The U.S. Postal Service regulations do not allow anything in aerosol cans to be shipped. 2) Shipping currently takes about 14–21 days to the combat zones. It takes us about a week to get everything sorted and boxed. Please keep this in mind when you are checking expiration dates on food items.

Stockings for Soldiers

Packages go to all branches of the military and to loca- tions in Iraq, Afghanistan,

Kuwait, Korea, and any other troops who request support from home. All items are sorted and packed according to the requests we get directly from the troops or their families.

This is how sin works. And gradu-ally, though no one remembers exactly how it happened, the un-thinkable becomes tolerable. And then acceptable. And then legal. And then applaudable.Joni Eareckson Tada

Thanksgiving needs at the Food Bank

Thanksgiving at the Food Bank starts with the first shopping day of November. As clients come in to shop for November, they can pick up the food

needed for their Thanksgiving dinner. Again this year we will have turkeys for anyone who wants one and we will also have a package with the rest of the meal—items like mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, corn, gravy, and cake mixes for dessert. We have most of the items but are in need of cake mixes and icing for the dessert. We started putting the packages together the third week of October. If you are wondering what we need for Thanksgiving, it is cake mixes and we can use them anytime in the next couple of weeks.

Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.John Wayne

Change Challenge

One of the highlights of this past Summer’s VBS was our “Change Challenge.”

Our kids rose to the challenge and raised more than $1,000 of CHANGE! We used this money to partner with AROMA (A Revolution of Missional Athletes) out of Messiah College to support them in providing an All Sports Camp in inner city Harrisburg. We host one of these life-changing camps at our own church in the summer, so it was a great joy to help provide this camp experience with our neighbors in Harrisburg. AROMA sent us a big thank you for helping to support their mission—awesome job, kids! Your generosity allowed AROMA to to share the love and Gospel of Jesus with others!

Bring the whole family for a morning of fun, crafts, cupcakes, and a story!

Training a child to follow Christ is easy for parents; all they have to do is lead the way.

WHAT IS A VET?He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn’t run out of fuel.He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel.She—or he—is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.He is the POW who went away one person and came back another--or didn’t come back at all.He is the Quantico drill instructor that has never seen com-bat—but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-ac-count rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other’s backs.He is the parade-riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cem-etery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor die unrecognized with them on the battle-field or in the ocean’s sunless deep.He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket—pal-sied now and aggravatingly slow—who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being, a person who offered some of his life’s most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so oth-ers would not have to sacrifice theirs.He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say, “Thank you.” That’s all most people need, and in most cases, it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.Two little words that mean a lot: “THANK YOU.”Let’s remember them on this Veteran’s Day observance.VOTE NOVEMBER 5
