Note from Kevin Carey

As the new Student Ministries Worship Leader, I wanted to write you all a little note telling you about myself. First, I’m so excited to serve the youth of Cornerstone full-time. I’ve been on staff at Cornerstone for more than two years, and I’ve been working primarily with young adults and with the weekend service teams. Now I get to devote my time entirely to Cornerstone youth, and I’m fired up about that.

I grew up as a professional actor and went to school at UCLA to pursue that dream. But, by the end of my freshman year, God had redirected my life. He wanted me to give myself to serving His Church. So I became really involved in the college group at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, and led worship there for my last two years of school. That church was a hub for Christians who were working in the Industry (60% or so of the congregation), so I got to spend a lot of time playing with and learning from producers, songwriters, artists, and musical directors who were making a living doing music.

When I graduated from UCLA in 2006 (with a degree in English), I moved back to the Bay Area. I found Cornerstone through a Google search and ended up getting involved in leadership at Fuel. One thing led to another, and within a couple months, I was leading worship for both Fuel and the newly-created Sanctuary. That part-time job turned to a full-time job in September of 2007, as I came on staff to assist Pastor Scott in the worship department and continue leading worship for the young adults. Since then, I’ve started two bands – a worship band called The Collective and a coffee house band called Under the Streetlight – and I’m falling deeper and deeper in love with Jesus, His Church, and with the people I get to meet and serve with at Cornerstone.

Again, I’m really excited to serve the youth of Cornerstone through worship. Cornerstone is an incredible place, and I am so thankful I get to work at a church where amazing things are happening through the powerful leading of the Holy Spirit.
I look forward to more amazing things to come as we follow Jesus together.

If you have any questions or thoughts, or just want to say hi, feel free to email me at kevinc@cornerstoneweb.org.

Grace and peace,
Kevin Carey

SUMMMMMMMMMMER CAMP!

Rube…? Who is Rube? That’s what we will be finding out this summer- June 21st through the 27th at Hume Lake Christian Camp! In Meadow Ranch, the JH camp, we will be involved in a week of worship, God’s Word, fierce competition, and relationships with other students and counselors!

Worship will be lead by Grayson Kessenich, a northern California boy
(<--)
(http://www.graysonkessenich.com/)

Phil Payne will be our speaker. He is a missionary apart of the International Teams working and living in Quito, Ecuador and worked with Youth Ministry for 10 years before that in California!

He will be taking us through the idea that as (-->) Christians we are to be the “salt to the earth” and to show love to our neighbors. But here is the question to think about: Do you truly care about the people in the world? During this week, you will be pushed and challenged to take a look on how you care and love people around you and to reflect on if Jesus is seen in the way you live. So BE READY FOR a week of a challenging speaker and competitive team spirit!

Be at the church for CHECK-IN at 9am in front of the Event Center.

We will be LEAVING at 10am.

The advised amount of money to bring for activites is $30-$50 for the week.

Bring some snacks for the trip, it's a nice couple hours in a bus. :)

Questions: talk to Jay or Jamie

Here's a secret... PACK as much NEON GREEN, PURPLE, and circus/clown theme for SPIRIT POINTS that week! Remember- uLtiMaTe dOmInAtIoN....!
