KEEP IT MOVING

PRAISE GOD FOR HE IS 'SOME AWE' & WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE!! As is His Way, He is ever moving us to higher levels, to greater service - from Glory to Glory for His Honor! So, to Keep Us Moving higher, and to encompass all that His Plan & Purpose holds, He's changing our name to Cornerstone Family Worship Center. And, He's given us a new Home, 6455 E. Washington St, Indpls, IN 46219 where the harvest is ripe! Our old site was 4,200 sq ft, and we were limited in Ministry activities. However, He has now 'enlarged our territory' and has given us increase to accomplish all He's Purposed with a 10,000 sq ft space! With this increase, His Vision of True Ministry will be realized as we operate 24/7/365. Yes, around the clock! Praise Him! God is so Marvelous & Great! And as with all moves, we need the help of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to make it a great success! We've already had a 'neighbors cook-out' that brought many people in to enjoy a free meal of hamburgers & hotdogs, and all the fixin's. It was wonderful to pray, share, and fellowship with everyone. God even blessed us with many donations to get us started. We've torn out walls, repaired bathrooms, torn up carpet, and mapped out every room. We're now caulking and getting ready to paint, then we can start furnishing the rooms & get ready to occupy & serve! And because our new Home will be the site of 24/7/365 Ministry, we have many needs and are asking for all the help we can get. If you'd like to help, we've attached a 'wish list of items. We ask that you share this Vision with others, copy them the list, and ask them to also spread the Word. And anyone is welcome to come by to take a tour & check us out. If you'd like to work with us, you're welcome to do that also. We're there every Wed eve from 5 until, and Saturday, from 9am until we get tired!
