August 2013 Church News Update

Wow! What an amazing month we had. God has sure been blessing us at Cornerstone Baptist Church. We have seen a lot of growth this last month and have averaged 90 on Sunday mornings. We have seen 5, 5 re-dedications, 1 join the church by letter, and 1 baptism in August! We also had 47 first time visitors. God is so good. Our ladies were able to attend a Ladies Retreat a Calvary in Eufala and they has an amazing time. We also had a family that had a baby this past month. We are now in our Fall Harvest Campaign and pray for more souls to be saved. It is exciting to see God working in and through members and guests of Cornerstone Baptist Church here in McAlester, OK.

Church Fellowships and Activities

At Cornerstone Baptist, we try to stay busy and active with fellowships and activities for both young and old alike. There is a saying that an idle mind is the Devil’s worskshop, and we believe this to be true. You will constantly have friends and fellow Christians to keep you motivated and encouraged by being faithful to the many activities and fellowships that we keep on our schedule. At least once a month, the church hosts a potluck after a Sunday Evening. This is a great time to sit down with new visitors and members and get to know each other better. The Lord has truly been blessing our church, and we would love for you to come be a part of what God is doing in McAlester, OK through Cornerstone Baptist Church.

From the Pastor’s Desk

Unfortunately the principal guilty party in prohibiting the free exercise of religion, a guaranteed constitutional right, has been the Supreme Court. However, Congress is not without blame in regard to the Supreme Court overruling the expressed will of the people. Under Article III Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power to regulate the appellate jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, yet Congress has rarely been so bold to speak out against the judiciary. It is no secret that our forefathers fled England to escape abuse of governmental power! … America, are you ready for judgment day?
