ABOUT COMMUNION SUNDAY:
COMMUNION: 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 your relationship to Him and surrendering to Him as Lord. Parents, discern when your child is spiritually ready to participate. Before the service, pick up your elements at the Worship Center entrance.
BENEVOLENCE OFFERING: Each Communion Sunday, we collect an offering for those in our Hillside family who are experiencing financial
difficulties. If you’d like to give, ushers will be collecting in the lobby immediately following the service, or you can text the dollar amount and the word “benevolence” to 84321. Thank you for your generosity!
