Happy Saturday Hillside! What do you dream for Hillside? I’m driven by the dream that someday Hillside will truly come into its own as THE CHURCH in the county to join if you want: (1) deep, enduring friendships across the age spectrum, (2) expert biblical teaching and other instruction that equips you to bring a smile to God and make his world more God-like, (3) Children and youth ministries that help you shape your children into strong, joyful, Jesus-loving contributors to the world, ready for the rigors of intimate relationship and professional responsibility, and (4) many opportunities to do the kind of good in the world that pictures Jesus the King and invites others to give their lives to him.
Although sometimes the Hillside journey feels like “three steps forward, two steps back”, I know that we’re on the way. The reason for my confidence is we’re committed to what the King, whom we’re celebrating tomorrow on Palm Sunday, has called us to do. And what he’s called us to do is to “Make disciples” as we go about our full, complex, and often challenging lives. Simply by joining in the Palm Sunday gathering tomorrow at either 9:00 or 10:45, you will help realize Hillside’s fantastic future, this church that the King loves, died for, and leads.
Hillside’s mission is “Making mature and equipped disciples who share
Christ and serve the world.” Tomorrow’s message which I’m excited to share falls along the “Equipped” side of the spectrum, so please come ready to listen, think, and learn! And parents, please wrangle your kids sixth grade and up into the service as the King desires to meet with and shape them as much as the rest of us. God bless you, Hillside, and see you tomorrow!
Come worship with Hillside Covenant Church LIVE at 9:00 & 10:45 AM both online and in person as Dan Seitz teaches from John 1:1; John 13:1; John 12:31 & John 20:21-22.
