VBS
Moms & Dads, your family has a unique opportunity this summer to reach out to children who don’t know about Jesus in your neighborhood, school, and other relationships. He’s the BEST answer to everything they are ever going to face – and it’s easy to reach out! On Sunday, April 16, you’ll find a card in your bulletin with a place to put a name of someone your family could invite to Hillside’s VBS (July 17-20). Then, in the following two weeks, pray for that person to accept your family’s invitation. On Monday, May 1, registration will begin for VBS and go through July 16 (or until we reach our capacity). It will be exciting to see if the person you prayed for registers to come! We want all of our Hillside Kids and their friends who need to hear the Good News of Jesus to experience this exciting week! Help give the joy of Jesus to someone this summer!
TROUT LAKE CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
The Hillside Missions Team is happy to provide Trout Lake Camp scholarships for all kids who are associated with Hillside Church who do not have another church home. The scholarship this year will pay for ½ of the registration cost up to $350. Additionally, we at Hillside believe that Trout Lake Camp can be a great evangelistic opportunity for those not currently involved in a church. If a Hillside member has a friend that is not currently attending any church that would be interested in going to camp with other Hillside kids, we would welcome them to apply as well. To apply, first register for camp at troutlakecamps.org, then complete the Trout Lake Camp Hillside Scholarship form, found on the Church Center app or at hillsidemn.churchcenter.com. Questions? Contact Pam Leafblad (leafbt@aol.com) or Tara Hammett (tara@hillsidemn.org)
FROM THE HILLSIDE MISSIONS TEAM
Over the past couple years God has opened the door for Raising Sisters (an initiative of Consumed Ministries with Jamie & Gretchen Miller) to work with women re-entering society post incarceration from the Shakopee Women’s Correctional Facility. There is a need for more mentors – who weekly walk alongside women beginning six months before their release and then for six months following, to be a support. You would receive training from women who have years of experience as mentors. If interested, Gretchen Miller would love to talk with you: (952) 913-7313, or visit hillsidemn.org/serve.
