THE LION'S ROAR
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2022
During the months of October and November, Cornerstone students participated in our fall service-based fundraiser, Quenching Thirst WITH ONE VOICE.
Encouraging Acts of Service
While raising funds for our school was the goal of the fundraiser, this unique approach provided an opportunity for our students to look beyond themselves and focus on serving others.

Our students also found unique ways to serve their family and neighbors by picking up extra chores, cleaning up litter, raking leaves, and spreading encouragement. One senior even donated over one foot of her hair for a worthy cause. What a blessing to take time to be reminded to be on the lookout for ways to spread God's love!

Additionally, The Bucket Ministry is committed to sharing the Truth of the Living Water in Jesus Christ, with the families they serve.
Serving & Celebrating Together
