Dear Cornerstone Family,
Greetings and blessings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for praying this past week for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America in Chattanooga, TN. It was a joy connecting with pastors and elders from all over our denomination and witnessing first-hand the clear indication of gospel advance through the churches, committees, and agencies of the PCA.
In addition to our pastoral staff, I am deeply grateful for our ruling elder commissioners, William Tice, John Millard, and Jim Payne. They were up early and stayed up late deliberating over a wide variety of important matters related to the work of the church. As you have opportunity, please take time to extend appreciation to these brothers for their care and diligence in serving the church.
At some point early in August, I will take time during the Sunday School hour to explore with you some of the most pertinent actions coming out of this year’s General Assembly. If you have any specific questions or concerns about this year’s assembly before that presentation, please reach out to one of your pastors or ruling elder commissioners. We would be glad to speak with you.
Now, it’s a joy to welcome Rev. Josh Reiger to the Cornerstone pulpit today. Josh is the Pastor for Riverside Church (PCA). He is married to Gina and they have three children: Jackson, Riley, and Rutherford. Josh is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary (Jackson, MS). Before coming to Riverside, Josh served with Mission to the World, the missions agency of the PCA, as a church planter in Hexham, England. Cornerstone was a supporting church of the Reigers during their years in England.
Finally, on a personal note, Josh has been a dear friend for many years, and I am grateful for the many ways he’s been a support to me in ministry. Josh is a kind, energetic, and wise soul. He loves Jesus Christ and the church and is a model of what it means to be a pastor. I know you will be blessed sitting under his ministry of the Word today.
Your servant,
