For approximately thirty seconds yesterday, a very early draft of an article which was far from being accurate was accidentally published by me as I used my WordPress software. I knew instantly I’d published the notes I’d been typing, and quickly “unpublished” it again, but not fast enough, as Google cached the article’s contents and folks who love the festival found those contents and re-published them. I’m very sorry that happened, since taking folks on an emotional roller-coaster regarding something they love is not something I wanted.
Here’s *all* we know at present: Some positive developments regarding Cornerstone Farm and the use of that property are possible. We do not yet know how the story will unfold, nor whether or not Cornerstone Festival will be revived because of these developments. The information in the article cannot be relied upon in any respect, and I again apologize to folks for unduly raising their expectations by my accidental and brief publication of that very early draft.
When we do know more about Cornerstone, we will gladly share with all our friends.
Sincerely,
Jon Trott
May God bless this mishap & JPUSA!
Jon,
Thank you for the humble, and tactful way that you’ve addressed the issue. May God bless you.
Thank you, Michelle. All prayers coveted!
Given that I’ve wanted to go to Cornerstone for at least the past ten years and, for one reason or another, have never been able to go… here’s to praying & hoping for the best!
Guess I have to cancel the hotel reservations I made last night.
WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still said I missed the last one. Been to so many…is this just a nightmare? R.I.P., C-stone…
said = sad
Thank you so much for the clarification, Jon. Your integrity and that of all I love at JPUSA continues to shine brightly. I continue to hope and pray for the absolute best for the ministry and the fest. May God bless you all!
Thanks, everyone.
I do hope there is eventually some good news! Blessings to you, Jon.
The thought of no more Cornerstone festivals is not something I can get into my head. For 20 years, it has been the spiritual high point of my year, something like Passover would have been for a Jew “back in the day” of the annual trek to Jerusalem and the Temple. The week of seeing friends and relatives from all over Israel and having a chance to catch up, to worship with them and love them and fellowship all together in one place was always much anticipated and eagerly awaited. The music and the bands have taken a back seat in recent years as God has shown me so many members of his family to connect with here and now. I am praying that there will be a move of God to restore this fest or to even completely re-invent it if it was no longer pleasing to Him in its recent form. I just feel like it will go on at least in some sort of way. It was too cool to die!
