Junior Church Agenda
Sunday mornings, soon after the start of our church service, youth are dismissed to attend our Junior Church. Our JUNE curriculum:
GOD VIEW: The Connection between Live It Out and God’s Character, as shown through God’s Big Story.
Living and loving like Jesus sounds great in theory, but may be a little hard in practice. However, with the help of God’s Spirit, we don’t have to do it alone. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit transforms us, shaping us every day into who God has called us to be and how God is calling us to live. Live It Out is not JUST a theme, but a call to action. It encourages kids to actively live out their faith through their words and interactions with others. And the more we become like Jesus, the more we can make a true difference in this world and in the lives of those around us.

Help needed for Church Nursery
As we approach the end of the year, we're reaching out to ask for your help in providing a warm, loving environment for the youngest members of our church community. A few volunteers, both adult and youth, are needed to serve in the nursery for the remainder of 2024.
Whether you can commit to a single Sunday or multiple dates, every bit of help makes a big difference. Serving in the nursery is a wonderful way to support young families and show Christ’s love to our little ones.
All volunteers are required to complete a quick background check, if you haven’t done so already. If you’re available and willing to lend a hand, please respond at this email address: cornerstonedalton@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for considering this opportunity to serve. Your support truly blesses our families and helps our church thrive. Please let us know if you have any questions.
