Men’s Breakfast, Cornerstone Cornwall, Saturday, January 14th, 8:00 am

*****************

Shift-workers of Cornerstone,

If you’re like my wife and me, you are finding that the inconsistency of your schedule is pulling you away from regularly attending Sunday services or small groups. To solve that problem, we want to see if it’s possible to start a new small group that fits your schedule. That would mean our meeting times and places could change from week to week, but will hopefully do so in a way that minimizes the number of people who can’t attend.

What I’d like from you is an indication of your interest and a copy of your work schedule (sent to davidbrandon110@gmail.com ). If you know every shift you work from now until May, then you can send that. If not, just send me the shifts you have. From there, I’ll see what we can do. There is no guarantees that this will work out, but who will know until we try?
Regards,
David Brandon
