Sunday, June 15
Join us this Sunday, June 15 for a message from guest speaker Pastor Jacob Webster. Jacob and his wife Jessica were married at Cornerstone April 2023, and since then Jacob has been serving there in whatever capacity God has called him to. From youth to music, and even website work, Jacob gives himself to the workings and ministry of the church. Since his first youth pastoral role in Mount Pleasant and his time at Youth for Christ, Jacob has grown to love the Lord deeper in ministry and in serving the church.

Sunday, June 15
We are participating in the LifeClinic Baby Bottle Campaign again this year! There is a table in the church lobby where we'll provide and collect bottles until this Sunday, June 15. When you fill a baby bottle with spare change, cash, or a check, you are helping LifeClinic provide medical services, parenting classes, and support to anyone in the Great Lakes Bay Region. Thank you for your generosity!

For questions, please contact the office or Pastor Ian Newberry.

“I Don’t Want to Go to A Nursing Home!”

• Today about 5% of American seniors (aged 65+) are residing in nursing homes
• 25% of Americans will reside in a nursing home at some time in their lives.
• The majority of nursing home residents are women aged 85 or older.
• A recent Rand Corporation study revealed that 56% of Americans aged 57-61 will stay in a nursing home for at least one night.

“I Don’t Want to Go to A Nursing Home” will be presented by long term care professionals from A&D Charitable Foundation. They will discuss nursing home alternatives available right here in Mid-Michigan and even share some insights of an alternative choice made by a member of Immanuel Bible Church. Feel free to invite a neighbor or family member to join you! There will be time for questions as well.
