Cornerstone Ladies Bible Fellowship

Cornerstone Ladies Bible Fellowship

Cornerstone Ladies Bible Fellowship is a growing group of faithful women, dedicated to the study of God’s Word, desiring to follow Christ by example, and grow in faith and fellowship with other women.  Tuesday mornings are a time of great friendships, refreshments, and fun, culminating in an in-depth study of God’s Word. 

 

Arrival and Refreshments: 
Tuesday Mornings     9:30 A.M. - 9:45 A.M.     
Study:   9:45 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.

 

In addition, special event mornings/days are scheduled to enhance both our fellowship and study times together.  Stay in touch with our church website to be notified of any upcoming opportunities.

 

This year we are offering two different studies, one on the Book of James, "Growing in Wisdom and Faith" by Elizabeth George, and one on the Book of Proverbs, "Ancient Wisdom for a Postmodern World" by Sue Edwards.  Both studies provide an interactive way to connect with other women, and learn and grow together from week to week. 

 

The year began September 17th with a evening "Cornerstone Cafe", featuring decadent desserts, and special speaker Jenny Boot, wife of Joe Boot, pastor/apologist/author and former Executive Director of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries in Canada.

 

If you love God's Word and are looking to go deeper in your walk with Him, come join us for fellowship and a fresh look at His Word together.  All are welcome!!

Sing, Mountain! Sing!!!!!

I recognize it's been a long time since I've posted a note ...... for many reasons .... but today I am prompted to supply just one little reflection.

Last night, Joy, Joyce, Lois and I went to see "The Sound of Music", a birthday "exchange" treat for Joy and I. It was a marvellous evening from the time we met until a joyful sleep whisked me off over the hills of slumber once more.

Most prominent, however, became one line at the end of the musical ... that touched my heart profoundly. The von Trapp family was in the Abbey, seeking sanctuary, as they are about to embark on their journey to freedom over the mountains of Austria to Switzerland. The Mother Abbess is speaking in a spirit of prayer as she blesses them and says, "I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills will break forth before you into singing." ( Psalm 121:1, Isaiah 55:12)

My heart gasped~! "The mountains and the hills will break forth before you into singing."!!

WOW!! You see, my family is on a journey to freedom over the mountain before us .... freedom from concerns and burdens that lay heavy on our hearts. We have a mountain in our lives right now .... one that does not look like it is offerring any help ... or joy..... or peace. In fact, it seems unsurpassable. Yet, all of a sudden my heart grasped that not only can God MOVE this mountain, with less effort than it took last night on stage!... but, He can even cause the mountain - the very thing that hinders us now - to break forth into singing!!! A place of JOY!!! And maybe, God isn't as interested in MOVING the mountain, as He is in TRANSFORMING this mountain ..... from a place of pain, to a place of JOY! GREAT JOY!!!

I love the idea of my place of fear and devastation becoming my place of refuge and song! I love the idea that the terror of silence now, so much still hidden in the crevices of the mountain ... that these places of disbelief will become the well-spring of joyous song!!!!!

An unwritten song, ...... an unpenned melody as yet, but, knowing that if God is putting the harmonies together....... It will be a song worth singing!!!And so, I turn to face this mountain this morning ..... and wait for the Conductor to lift His baton .... and turn discord into song! I'm waiting to hear this mountain sing!!!

Simply an update. I have found that posting items regarding the journey for my dad has been easier to track quickly through "notes" on Facebook. Those who wish to join the journey, may check the link out over under "Japhia Dale Scott". Many thanks.

Shocking Myself!

Sitting here with a cup of "Tim's" about to do what I said I would likely never do again ..... post a blog entry. You see, I must be honest. Visited the "blog world" almost a year ago, and with only two posts to my name, received surprising and uncomfortable results, and have been hesitant to join again .... and who knows when the next entry may surface. You see, I often find there is not enough time for "face-to-face" friends, and so, I wonder about the energy and time that is required to maintain "type-to-type" friends ... or even acquaintenances. But, something drew me in this morning .... and so, here I sit. A little unsure of the format I intend to take - Should this be like a journal??, ... na... I already have three running daily journals that still use pen and paper. So what point am I trying to make.......??

I got thinking that we often meet God the same way. Unprepared! We come into His presence completely unprepared to meet our King of Kings!!! Sometimes late nights find us unwilling and unable to find sanctuary with Him early in the morning, ... and sometimes crazed schedules and inevitable interruptions keep us from finding our way back to "His room" .... the place where He waits ... alone... for us to meet with Him. Funny thing is, He longs for that same "face-to-face" encounter. Yet we come, putting in time perhaps, but with no real purpose. Sort of like how I "fell" into this encounter. The good news is, though this entry may not ever even be read by another soul, when I "fall" into God's presence, even at times when I come unprepared, He is still willing to make something beautiful out of our time together..... if I seek Him. But what of those times, those honest times, when I have missed His words to my heart because I have simply been preoccupied by all that is called "life" - Trying to live it without His refreshing - it happens.

Don't let today be a day when His words remain in His word and not in your heart - changing, challenging, restoring, drawing. God knows you today - and maybe even divine discontent will draw you - But, choose to seek His face. And, if you're a "blogger" - then, continue to meet the needs of those who share your journey. And, maybe we'll meet "face-to-face" one day!!!

Choosing to Soar!
