Cornerstone Festival is an annual arts and music festival held in Central Illinois over the July 4th Weekend. (We have held this festival for over 20 years) Cornerstone features more than a hundred bands of every imaginable musical genre in a variety of diverse venues, from an intimate coffeehouse setting to an outdoor arena. Daytime in-depth seminars range from the intricacies of constructing a worldview to the practicalities of raising children. The fest is held on 575-acre campground with its own 125-acre lake: festgoers can camp, swim, fish, and/or canoe. Artrageous is an arts program devoted to the visual arts, the Imaginarium focusses on film and popular culture, Creation Station is the popular children's program, and the annual Cornerstone Games offer competition in volleyball, basketball, rock climbing, and both foot and canoe races. Cornerstone Festival draws an average of 20,000 people from all over the world. For ticket and other information check out the official site..

Since 1972, Cornerstone magazine has grown from a typewritten handout to a quarterly journal of politics, culture and the arts.

The newest permutation of the Cornerstone idea is, of course, the cyber-version: Cornerstone Online. In addition to featuring posted articles and archives from the print version of the magazine, Cornerstone Online will plot its own course as the unique Web applications for the content and style of the magazine become clear, and as we are able to take advantage of the Web's special interactive features. Among the new "For the Web" features, Cornerstone Online has already introduced Imaginarium Online, a cyber-version of that popular Cornerstone Festival program. A major face-lift for the entire site is in the works, along with plans for a discussion board, and much more. Stay tuned!

Those who know JPUSA primarily for its ministry outreaches may be surprised to discover the businesses which make possible those ministries: and vice versa! With three Chicago locations, Lakefront Roofing Supply has become one of the major distributors of roofing supplies in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Lakefront sales department of experienced contractors, our free delivery and crane up service, and an in-house sheet metal shop are why Lakefront has become the one-stop supply house for so many area roofing contractors.
