We will give praise to Jesus, share stories of how we saw God at work this month, and pray for God to do even more at Hillside. Worship begins at 6:30 pm. This is great for families to do together!

WOMEN’S PRAYER GATHERING We close out our month of prayer and fasting by bringing women together to worship and pray! If you were a part of the IF Gathering, you know how much we enjoyed being together as women through worship, prayer, and fellowship. We want to come together again to pray for our families, community, and nation. And at the end, we’ll break our fasts with some snacks and great conversation. Worship begins at 6:30 pm.
BAPTISM: Sunday, Aug. 7 will be a great opportunity to take the next step of faith – baptism. First, we’ll worship together at Hillside at 10:00am, either live inside the worship center, or live-stream on the lawn (don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket). After the service everyone is invited to Bush Lake. We will begin at 11:45am, shelter #3 where we’ll hear faith stories from those being baptized – then we’ll walk down to the beach. Finally, we’ll go back to shelter #3 and the shaded grounds surrounding it to enjoy picnic lunches (bring your own). There is a playground and volleyball area, and plenty of shaded grassy places. It will be a wonderful way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon! If you’re interested in being baptized indicate your interest on a Connect Card (QR code on inside page of this bulletin).
