Combined Class this Sunday

Just a reminder for everyone that we'll be in a Combined Sunday School Class this week in the Fellowship Hall to hear Randy Harris. He's one of my all-time favorite teacher/speakers! You'll surely be blessed by his knowledge of the word and his ability to apply it to contemporary life.

See you there!

Down to Two...Literally

The much anticipated match-ups between four #1 teams wasn't all it was hyped up to be. Memphis and Kansas rolled in their games tonight making for an intriguing match-up in the Finals on Monday night. The game on Monday will determine our Bracket Challenge Champion as well. Melissa has Kansas winning it all and Brandon stayed true to the hometown team picking Memphis to win its first ever championship. I could go through the rest of the standings, but it really doesn't matter. This is a two team, two person match-up with the winner taking home the first ever Cornerstone Class Golden Ball Trophy (pictured). Bragging rights and a great fireplace mantle piece are on the line. I want to thank all the others for playing. The trophy will formally be presented to the winner next Sunday in class.

And then there were Four...

For the first time in tournament history all four #1 seeds have made it to the Final Four. For the first time in our bracket challenge history never has the intensity been more intense than it is now. Bart is barely hanging on to the lead withstanding a significant charge from Melissa and Mitzi (Congrats to both for getting all final four teams right). Eddy has fallen back to fourth and in an unbelievable test of stamina Andy has come from the bottom of the pack and grabbed a place in fifth. The competition will definitely get heated this weekend with 5 of the 6 brackets having UCLA winning the championship. Duncan and Brandon are sitting in the wings hoping that UCLA falls. If the Tigers do take care of business, this challenge leaderboard will totally be turned upside-down. This truly may be the year we 'Remember the Alamo' again.

Final Four Party (April Madness)

Hello Cornerstone!!! Christy and I were also out of town this weekend but are very excited about hosting the Final Four Party on Saturday. A Couple of things we wanted you to know... We said the start time was 4:00 PM, but this is flexible as tip off for the Memphis game is not until 5:07. We will be ready for you at 4:00, but feel free to come anytime between 4:00 and 5:00 PM. We will snack on appetizers during the game and I will plan to have dinner ready during the 40 minute break between games. As there was not a sign up list there on Sunday, and we do not have the one from last week, please reply to me and answer the following, as my example indicates. This will allow me to purchase accordingly and an easier time of cooking on Saturday.
