December Teaching Series

Dozens of movies have been written, hundreds of pictures have been painted, thousands of songs have been sung and a countless number of plays have been performed, all surrounding one story.   The Christmas Story is perhaps the most popular story ever told.  So is there anything more we can learn from a story that we have heard a thousand times?  During the month of December, JHM students will take a new look at an old story.  We’ll go behind the scenes of the Christmas Story, look at the key players and see how their roles in the Christmas events can still impact us today.  Join us, over the next four weeks, as we study together one of the greatest stories ever told: A Christmas Story.

Join us Saturdays at 6:00pm or Sundays at 9:30am in the Event Center.

November Teaching Series

Typically during the month of November we are reminded to be thankful. I mean there is a whole day set aside to be thankful. At least that is what it is intended for. Isn't it strange that the day we are reminded to be thankful we find ourselves in the middle of family arguments, too much food, football on the biggest TV we can find, and an early bedtime to get ready for the amazing deals we get on Black Friday? It seems like we don't spend too much time being grateful during the season that is supposed to point us towards gratitude. For the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving we are going to learn what it means not only to be grateful, but to live a life filled with gratitude that does not allow our consumer mentality to get in the way. Don't miss this!

Join us Saturdays at 6:00pm or Sundays at 9:30am in the Event Center.

When: Thursday, November 15th
Where: Event Center, Cornerstone Fellowship

Canned Food Extravaganza: We are encouraging each student to bring non-perishable or canned food items to the November Big Group to help stock Cornerstone's Serve the City Food Pantry.  Students will receive 1,000 POINTS for EACH food item they bring.  The points will go to their group's total point count for the evening with the winning group receiving the coveted Big Group trophy and a pizza party.  Let's have some fun while giving back!

All canned food items are welcomed.  However, Serve the City has made a few suggestions of needed items: oil, juice, jams/jellies, cereal, rice and bags of beans.

Please Note: There will be no JHM Life Groups on Wednesday, November 14th or Thursday, November 15th.

October & November Teaching Series

"For the Win" is a series designed for Junior High students that clearly defines what it means to "WIN".  There are a lot of victories that give value and worth to a teenager, but the real win comes from the way we live our lives and what our lives produce.  In the Scriptures we read, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  Against such there is no law.  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other."  Showing the fruit that we read about in Galatians and keeping in step with the Spirit is the definition of winning that we want to grab a hold of.  Over the next 6 weeks we are going to teach students what it means to live "For the Win."  Don't miss this!!
