"...I was in prison and you came to visit me." (Matthew 25:36)

Palm Sunday, April 13 - Easter Sunday, April 20

Join us for Hillcrest’s Easter Trail Scavenger Hunt! This event will be available from Palm Sunday, April 13 through Easter Sunday, April 20. Since it’s outside, it’s available 24/7.  Find the first egg in the planter box on the front porch. The egg will have a #1 and a QR code. Scan the QR code and listen to something that happened during the last week of Jesus’ life on earth. Then scroll down to find instructions on where to find the next egg. When you finish the Hunt, you can print a certificate commemorating your achievement. Or, you can come to the church office and have a certificate printed for you. (Office hours are M-Th 9-4). What a fun way to learn more about Jesus!
