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!
Friday, April 18 at 6pm, Hillcrest Worship Center
Join us on Good Friday at 6 pm as we commemorate the final week of Jesus with choir, scripture and Lord’s Supper. Pastor Tom continues his lessons through Psalm 23 with the assurance that God “prepares a table” for us to fellowship with him even in the midst of trying times.
No Childcare will be provided.

In March Pastor Tom and Jim Steed participated in the Kairos Weekend
From one of the Kairos Weekend Leaders:
UNITY……For 13 years I have been coming to church and at any altar call there are always a few holdouts or hardened hearts who stay seated. But I saw Bloods, Crips, Mexican Mafia and Aryan Affiliates, men who used to be on death row men I have known for years so anti-social that I only ever saw them talk to a handful of people, join hands in a Conga line, men with canes, men with walkers, knee pain, hip pain. All ailments disappeared for a short time as we worshiped in the form of a Conga line (of all things). Not one person remained seated, and I know God looked down and saw past the exterior and our hearts became one to the tempo of “I’ll fly away oh glory, I’ll fly away. In the morning, I’ll fly away.”
