HILLSIDE NEWS
COMMUNION (Gluten-free communion crackers are available.)
Today we celebrate “Communion” – the reenactment of Jesus’ intimate final meal with His disciples before He died on the cross. The bread represents His body, the cup His blood. All are welcome to participate by examining their relationship to Him and surrendering to Him as Lord. Parents discern when their child is ready to participate.BENEVOLENCE OFFERING: On Communion Sunday an offering is taken as you leave the worship service for those in our Hillside family who are experiencing financial difficulties. Please make checks payable to Hillside Church, or text: dollar amount benevolence (for example: “$25 benevolence”) to 84321

BAPTISM If you have not been baptized, Sunday, Aug. 7 will be a great opportunity to take that next step of faith. First, we’ll worship together at Hillside at our usual time – 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 we’ll head over to Bush Lake for baptisms. Everyone is invited! We will begin at 11:45am, at 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, as well as plenty of shaded grassy places to relax and fellowship. It will be a wonderful way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon, so save the date! If you’re interested in being baptized indicate your interest on a Connect Card (QR code on inside page of this bulletin).
HILLSIDE GO!Dads & daughters: Come join us for the annual summer camp out at the Sumac Knoll Group Campsite in Bloomington! We will be heading over there on Friday night, July 15, at 5pm, to camp out under the stars. Come when you can, gates will close for the night at 10pm. Please bring all the necessary camping items that you and your daughter/s need. Dinner will not be provided Friday night – you’re on your own, Dad.
