Angeles House Fundraiser - It’s that wonderful time of the year again. Time for Cornerstone’s Union Rescue Mission Fundraiser. For over 20 years, Cornerstone has been holding their annual URM Fundraising event and this year, we are raising funds for this year’s Christmas Give Away for the families at Angeles House. As you may already know, Angeles House is part of the Union Rescue Mission or also referred to as URM and is located north, a few blocks from our church location. So, please consider helping by donating to Cornerstone’s annual Union Rescue Mission Fundraising, as we once again support them with Christmas gifts to the families that live there. God bless you! We thank you and Praise God for your consideration and your prayers for the residents of this facility.

God, I am a sinner. I am tired of being a sinner. I repent of my sins. I turn away from the way I’ve been living. believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I believe He died on the cross for my sins. I believe He was raised from the dead. I now accept Christ into my heart as my personal Savior. Save me Jesus and make me the person you want me to be.

*********** Psalm 91: 1-16
1. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. 3. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 4. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 5. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. 9. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 10. no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. 11. For he will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. 12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
