Rev. ___________________
Cornerstone United Reformed Church is now without a full-time pastor. It is our conviction that faithful preaching of the Word of God is the most important single source of blessing for the whole congregation. A committee has been appointed, under oversight of the elders, to begin the search for a man who can be recommended for a call to serve us. We invite all who read these pages, and who share our concern for obtaining a faithful man of God to preach His Word to us, to join us in asking God to send the man of his choosing.

Rev.
Jay A. Wesseling (Emeritus)
Rev. Jay A. Wesseling was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan where
he attended Christian grade school and Grand Rapids Christian
High. While a senior in high school he enlisted in the US Navy,
serving in 1945 and 1946. Upon discharge, he attended Calvin
College, graduating in 1950 and Calvin Seminary from which he
graduated in 1953. He has served Christian Reformed Churches in
Holland and Sully in Iowa, Jenison, Michigan, Seattle, Washington
and Zeeland and Walker in Michigan before coming to his last

Cornerstone URC of Hudsonville, Michigan and serving as their
Administrative Pastor for 5 years until he moved to Sheldon with
his second wife, the former Kathleen Bousema. His church
attendance at Sanborn is about 1/3 of the time, with the rest of
the Sundays spent filling the pulpits of various United Reformed
Churches around the country, which is a great joy since preaching
is his first love.
