Heart & Soul: a place to go deeper into prayer and life together. This is a space for men & women to share how God is working in their lives at the heart level, and encourage one another through concentrated prayer for each other and God's purposes at Hillcrest. The group will often be divided into two groups (Heart for the women, and Soul for the men), but will sometimes meet and pray together as well. The group will meet in the Sanctuary immediately following Coffee Fellowship.
