Cornerstones Special Needs Services:
Our new long-term rental starts using the St. Andrew’s church building for their programming this week. Cornerstones provides day programming and other services to adults with special needs (www.cornerstoneshamilton.com).

This will not only provide regular income to support the ministry of St. Andrew’s, but opens our doors to an organization that provides much needed services to families in our community.
