It’s no secret that the world is a difficult place. But often, the best response to difficulty is JOY. Finding joy in darkness is wise. Playful joy keeps us alive and makes life worth living. Deep joy keeps us able to hope even in the most dire of circumstances. Imaginative joy opens our eyes to ways the world may yet be. Laughing joy can rid us of the concerns of life that threaten to weigh us down.
Tabletop role playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons, are an opportunity to tell stories, solve problems and overcome adversity — all skills we hope our kids develop. These games have the potential to unlock the imagination — and the joy therein.
That’s why to close out summer, we’re trying a new thing in youth ministry, and will be hosting what we’re calling D&Devo.
In this 8-week campaign we’ll go on a fantastic fun-filled adventure, full of hijinks and laughter as we bond around the table and create stories to remember.
Of course each session will begin with the most important thing at the table — people gathered to grow their faith. After a short devotional and time of community building, we’ll take off into the world of adventure. Each session will end with us debriefing the session and talking about bringing the heroic spiritual into our daily lives. -- Christi

Hey Youth! Have you heard about Cornerstone’s Youth Ministry??? It is awesome! And it is absolute C.H.A.O.S! Seriously…Christ Has All Our Solutions!
We like music and movies and games. We love to eat, too! We also share in fellowship and Bible study. We do have fun, and we take our faith in God seriously. We really want to make a difference in our church, community, and world through outreach missions and giving back. If you are looking for a place where you are welcome and where you can belong, come visit us. On Sundays, we have Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. and a youth gathering during school semesters on Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m. in the Youth (or “Cloud” Room at the back of the education building (Jr. and Sr. High). We frequently host a Youth Mission Day where we go out in to the community to help our neighbors with basic projects around the home or yard. We love making new friends and want you to join us on our spiritual journey as we learn to be disciples of Jesus. We can’t wait to meet you! Come check us out! Want more info?
