Cornerstone Christian Arts opens in Paceville haven
The Millennium Chapel Complex has recently expanded the services
it offers by joining forces with Cornerstone Christian Arts,
a Christian outlet formerly based in Swieqi.
The Cornerstone Christian Arts shop, which includes an Internet
Cafe, sells Christian books for adults and children alike, jewellery,
giftware, cards, posters and a vast selection of praise and
worship compilations and contemporary Christian music. The contemporary
range includes a variety of genres, from rap to rock, from jazz
to rhythm & blues, all bearing Christian themes. By working
hand in hand, the Millennium Chapel Complex and Cornerstone
hope to attract more visitors to the centre by offering a fuller
service. Those entering the chapel to visit the Blessed Sacrament
or attend a prayer meeting now have a place to shop for music
and books to help them in their spiritual journey. Those stopping
at Cornerstone now need only take a few steps to visit the chapel
next door.
Mark Parlato Trigona, who first opened Cornerstone in Swieqi
three years ago, revealed plans to
develop the outlet into a Christian coffee shop where one could
surf the Net, buy a book or gift, and have a drink while listening
to Christian music in the background.
This is in keeping with the complex’s mission to be an
interactive place. Besides, the current Internet connections
available are about
to be replaced by On-Vol Cable Internet to provide much faster
access.
Mr Parlato Trigona forms part of the well-known ‘Youth
Fellowship’ worship team and has been an active member
of the Cenacolo Community, led by Andrew Consiglio, for the
past eight years.
“My involvement with Cornerstone and now the Millennium
chapel is definitely part of the fruit that my life is bearing
as a result of what God has done for me through Andrew, who
is now a very close friend of mine, and Youth Fellowship –
not to mention the many other people who contributed towards
my spiritual upbuilding, in a special way, Julian, Andrew’s
brother,” he affirmed.
Cornerstone is open from Mondays to Saturdays from 9am to 1pm
and 3pm to 10pm.
