….CANNOT BE HIDDEN OR KEEP IT’S BRIGHT LIGHTS WITHIN ITS’ OWN PROPERTY LINE
”You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Mathew 5:14 NIV.
It’s all about an inherent evangelical attitude of sustained church growth. Ten thousand members would put Cornerstone on the mega-church map. Christian churches, including Cornerstone Community Church, are all about constant exposure for the sake of intended constant growth. It’s in their organizational DNA. They don’t have sports teams, they have sports “ministries.” It draws new members to them.
They don’t merely utilize modest signage on their buildings; instead, they install glaring white lighted letters for maximum exposure. (As if their current members don’t know where Cornerstone is located) .
All of this within the context of Wildomar’s important ” Dark skies bright stars” goal to keep Wildomar from undesirable light pollution. Adding lights to the sports fields will only add to Cornerstone’s pollution “eye”print.
If Wildomar’s residents wish to ignore the “soon to be starting” mining operation, the dust and truck traffic will eventually go away. But the light pollution will stay until the Second Coming.
Wildomar Magazine wants to go on record objecting to and opposing the current and future light pollution emanating and soon to emanate from Cornerstone. We all know that Cornerstone’s here; we don’t need a fresh reminder every time the sun goes down and their lights come up.
Cornerstone is not the first enterprise to use garish lighting to draw attention to themselves.
Same attitude? You decide for yourself.
