Rev. Dan Donovan
Cornerstone United Reformed Church will once again, as of this week, have 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 appointed by our Consistory has been diligent in searching for the man to recommend for a call to serve us. We now thank them for their work and invite all who read these pages to join us in praying that God will richly bless Rev. Donovan's ministry of the Word of God.
