Today was an amazing day. It started off with Jon and I going to church at Cornerstone. If you haven't heard, I am in love with this church. I love the feeling of wanting to go to church. The music today was amazing. It was such a worshipful service and I left feeling fed. I don't think there's ever been a time I've left Cornerstone not feeling that way. But, today was just something special.
After church Jon and I went and ate at Subway for lunch. I don't think it was a considence that the Co-Pastor and his family were eating there as well. :)
We went home for a few hours and then it was time to go back to Cornerstone for Cornerstone 101 where we learned all about the church. It is a class that you take before you join the church. It was really neat to hear the Pastors stories and all about how Cornerstone came about. They started off meeting in a SKATING RINK for 5 years before moving into the building they are in now. On their first sunday they had over 200 Visitors! UNREAL! (Now attendance is between 750-1100 for 2 services)
When we got to the class I was a little intimated. There were a LOT of people there and I felt a little lost. I am use to Riverchase where I know a lot of people! After warming up a bit I met a bunch of great people. One girl and her husband I recongized from RUMC! (SMALL WORLD!) It was nice to see a fimilar face!
After learning about the church they told us about some opprotunites they had going on. One of which is Small Groups. If you are a dedicated reader, then you know one of my New Years Resoultions was to join a Small Group. I looked over the Small Group list and found a few that looked intresting to me. I really wanted to do a couples one with Jon so that we could get to know some new people! He agreed! We talked to a girl afterwards and are going to start one next week!
I left tonight almost in tears. Tears of joy. It felt SO right. Everything just fell into place. I couldn't be happier right now. I think Jon is pretty excited about everything as well! :)
I have to thank our dear friends Chris and Becca for introducing us to Cornerstone. I don't think it was a fluke that we just went with them one sunday. I know that God has us there for a reason.
SO, THANKS CHRIS AND BECCA! :)
I hope you all had a great weekend and have a BLESSED week.
Blessings and Love,

Yes....AUBURN, AL has so many opportunities and places of worship that are GREAT!!! Glad you are finding your fit : ) This probably would not be happening if you were living in TUSCALOOSER!! : ) I'm sure Jon agrees with me! I guarantee that one of these days, you will be so thankful and blessed that you lived in Auburn, and will eventually shout WAR EAGLE!!! :-)
Was it the Corbitts you found as Cornerstone?
