CU Donor and Friends e-Newsletter April, 2011 | 7th Edition Happy Easter Let us celebrate the resurrection of our Savior! This week, let us remember God’s son, Jesus, who was born as a baby, lived a perfect sinless life, was persecuted, abandoned and crucified with the weight of our sin on his shoulders. He was thinking of us when he was on the cross. He died the death we deserved and on the third day he rose again so that anyone who believes in him will not perish, but have ever lasting life. What an awesome God we have! Meditate on this great truth. We serve the living God that conquered the grave. And, the same power that conquered the grave lives in us. Praise God! John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” Table of Contents Save the Date Athletic Events Music Events Theatre Events Happy Easter Matching Gift Opportunity for Donors Students Thank You Chapel Schedule Commencement Big Ticket Festival Quick Links Cornerstone University Donate Now Contact Us Email Us Annual Report Cornerstone Student Fund Alumni Website Golf Registration
