Missions Market

On Saturday, October 17th, from 9:00 am-1:00 pm, Cornerstone Presbyterian Church will be hosting a community missions market where various mission organizations have been invited to come and share their missions, ministries, and experiences in helping provide for our community here in the Triangle and various other places. You will find alongside them some handcrafted goods from artisans in our Cary community. Some of these vendors will even feature congregants of Cornerstone. Our Cornerstone youth will be behind a specialty drink vendor booth selling dirty sodas and crafts which will help fund their various outreach activities and trips. Lastly, a yummy food truck will set up shop to serve all the lovely people we get to meet. Join us for a day of community, where you’ll discover ways to get involved with work that serves those in need, shop from various locally handcrafted items and goods and meet the wonderful faces behind them, and enjoy food and drinks!

Special Highlight: Fall Mini Photo Sessions

World renowned photographer and Cornerstone ESL student, Sinem Kobaner will offer the opportunity for mini photo sessions through both the Mission Fair and Fall Festival!  These sessions will only cost $75 and part of the fees go to Cornerstone mission! This is great for the whole family, spread the word to your friends! Sign up for your spot here: https://book.usesession.com/s/whPu1gr1SK
