Bring your girlfriends, your mom, your sisters, your neighbors, your co-workers and all of the special women in your life and come listen to other women share their heart-warming personal stories!
Coffee/lemonade are complimentary.
Times are from 7pm - 9pm. eXpresso is an evening for women of all ages to come and hear a panel of four to five women share their personal life stories of how God brought them to where they are today. It is a comfortable family room setting, where gals share a conversation as if they we sitting on their couch at home with their closest friends. You get to "look in" as an audience and "listen in" as their personal stories are shared. If you have never been to an eXpresso, it is a night filled with amazing God stories, emotion and once you come, you’ll be sure to mark every eXpresso date on your calendar! Looking so forward to seeing you at eXpresso!
****Sorry there is no Child Care available the nights of eXpresso. Tanya does have a nanny/childcare sheet Christine made up, please email me if you would like a copy. Thank you!

Would you like to help a single mom/family out this Christmas? Cornerstone Life Groups are gathering donations for the single mom's to bless them with items they need. Please contact Kim Wallace if you would like to donate.
Thank you for your heart to serve!
Instead of the event, Small Groups has decided to ‘adopt’ Single Moms/families that have true, dire needs. More info on this to come. Once we know what their needs and wish lists are, as a group, we will step up and help out these families.
Some of you wanted to donate – if this is still in your heart, please, please still do. We will need donations for the families as well as our goal is still surprise these Mom’s with a pamper basket (already have candles and shampoos donated and one small group is going to make a basket).
If you have any items that you wish to donate or want to help out with one of these adopted families, let us know. And again, more info will be coming out soon!
Thank you! Bless you!
One by one. Great opportunities to serve God often come as small opportunities to service those around us who are in need. Faith is something we do!

Here is our beautiful raffle for the upcoming "HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE"
It was $129.99 reg price, I used a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond and purchased it for $112.10
The Boutique monies paid for our awesome raffle.
The reason we are able to do a Holiday Boutique is to welcome gals that would not normally be on our amazing church campus as a stepping stone to capture and invite them to come ck out our Women's ministry's and quite possibly ck out Jesus for the first time.
HOW COOL WE GET TO BE APART OF THAT!!
So the raffle is to help encourage the gals to fill out their information to help us track how many people came to Cornerstone for the very first time and TO BLESS THEM IN A BIG WAY! Not only by sharing our awesome campus but our awesome women's ministries.
Do you know Cornerstone offers so much more Women's programming than most church's in the valley?
It is because of your hearts to plug in and serve that we are able to GROW our ministries and reach even more gals for Christ!
Thank you for volunteering your time for the boutique, it is so well spent and I want to THANK YOU FOR LOVING ON GALS AND SHARING EXPRESSO WITH THEM!
We will also have some yummy chocolates on the table to offer our guest walking by as well.
My BLOOMZ booth will be right next door should anyone need further help, I will be there the entire boutique.
**** We are also looking to fill a few more slots for Friday night November 6th shift, please email Jaime Anglin :0) Thank you!
EXPRESSO Team, Please mark your calendars for the above dates as well as the Thursday night before each.......
Team Meeting's (A total of six) for 2010
1/28/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm 2/18/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm 4/15/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm 07/29/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm 8/19/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm 10/21/10 Team meeting 6:30-8:30pm
We are confirmed to do all next years eXpresso's in the student center. Start dreaming with me how we can be creative in making the most of our eXpresso ministry in the Student center.
My thoughts are as we continue to grow to set up rows like big church close to the stage and tight with tables set up in the back. It is not our ideal set up but we need to work with what we have been so graciously blessed with.
Think about churches that do ministry and church with NO BUILDINGS and let's see how creative we can be!
Would you pray for our team next year? We are asking a FULL commitment from the gals who volunteer on our incredible EXPRESSO team that we ALL commit to EACH meeting and truly grow up gals to come along side and experience a deep passion for serving our GREAT GOD!
Ultimately it is TEN dates next year.
Would you pray and talk to your family about your commitment for TEN dates next year?
THINK about your part in making a HUGE IMPACT to those around us for CHRIST.
We need you, LET'S RISE UP TO THIS CHALLENGE and set the dates in your calendar now.
Together we can COME, GROW, SERVE!
I am so very BLESSED and HONORED to serve along side you as EXPRESSO'S LEADER. EACH OF YOU are a HUGE BLESSING not only as team mates but as FRIENDS.
LET'S GET READY TO MAKE A SERIOUS IMPACT SISTA'S FOR GOD IN 2010 TOGETHER!

Table Questions for this next eXpresso! Thank you Kristina!!
"Words"
Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who hold his tongue is wise.
1. In your own words describe Proverbs 10:19
2. Do you struggle with words you speak or hear?
3. Is there someone in your life that has hurt you with words and you have yet to forgive? What is holding you back?
4. Do you spend time with God daily whether in a bible study, prayer, reading your bible? What blessings come from this time one on one with God ?
5. Where you able to relate to one of the panelists who spoke on Words? How?
6. Do you find it hard to turn away from a conversation that is filled with negative words about others? How do you think you will respond when faced in that situation now?
Mrs. Karie Hughes is going to be meeting with all the Table Hostess's to pray with them prior to eXpresso.
She will be meeting all the table hostess's at 6:30 outside the Student Center in between the student center and the childrens building (on the east side of student Center by the outside tables)
All table hostess's please ck in at the kiosks then quietly (please as Nicole Stamps is trying to do sound ck's and it is very hard when gals are talking) put their purses down at their assigned tables.
Thank you Karie for your willingness to step in so Kristina can go celebrate her hubby's birthday! You are so appreciated!!
TABLE HOSTESS'S
I truly know you all have friends that really enjoy sitting with you and I am sure you also enjoy sitting with all of them.
I want to ENCOURAGE each of you to truly love on a gal you do not know, maybe go really out on a limb and for the night of eXpresso LOVE on an entire table of women you don't know. Let God use you as a warm welcoming face.
I do realize many of you invite friends that don't attend CS and it is their comfort level to sit with you, I am not asking you in this position.
I am asking those who call CS home and have a comfort level here that they could reach out and reach up and love on a new gal maybe it is a gal that has been coming to CS for years and never attended a women's event. I can't tell you how many of those gals come to eXpresso to try stepping out of the purple chair they are so comfortable in on Sunday's to stepping into a room full of women and they know NO ONE.
Pray about it, I trust God will move you in the direction you are to take.
THANK YOU for serving as a table hostess, THANK YOU for loving on a full table of gals!
****ONE LAST THING***** We are doing something new and different that was suggested by a table hostess from the last eXpresso!!
After table questions I will give you a five minute time frame to pray over your table and allow women to take a turn if they feel led to do so and pray.
Don't be nervous, Just be yourselves. I have heard so many women say, I am so embarrassed I don't "pray" well, God hears your hearts gals, just be yourself! You are each BEAUTIFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE!
THANK YOU SWEET SISTA'S FOR COMING ALONG SIDE AND LOVING ON A TABLE OF WOMEN!! We couldn't do eXpresso without each of our wonderful volunteers and you are all so APPRECIATED!
We need more TABLE HOSTESS'S if you know someone please have them email Kristina Bradley!

THANK YOU JAMI for all your efforts to find out going gals who will arm and arm walk ladies to their seats, who's faces light up with smiles to greet gals as they walk onto our church campus many of them for the very first time!
Thank you gals so much for showing an out reached hand to women! It is scary being in a room full of women ladies, please reach out to women the night of eXpresso and love on them! It might be the only loving or kind words they have received in a mighty long time!
Thank you Jami!! ******************************************************************************************
