Cornerstone Church in Madison, Tennessee and its members have decided and committed to renovating a local school. The budget is $180,000 and includes external improvements such as painting, landscaping, and playground equipment. They also plan to provide new computers, toilets, floors, and carpets. Way to go!
The pastor, Maury Davis, said in an article in The Tennessean, "it's time to do something significant, to reach out and affect the lives in our hometown, where God has called us."
Also from the same article, written by Al Cleveland,
For a spiritual standpoint, their mission is fairly well spelled out.
"The Bible says to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and there are different ways of preaching," Davis said.
"Because of court rulings about separation of church and state, which changed the entire paradigm of how the church relates to the government in the last 40 years, we're not allowed to go in and do Bible studies and things like that. So we're having to find a more contemporary and acceptable way to share the love of Jesus in a
tangible form."
I am refreshed to see a church seeking out and applying ways to show Love.
