HILLSIDE NEWS
BAPTISMS – TODAY! After the worship service join us at 11:45am, at Shelter #3, Bush Lake Park, Bloomington. We’ll hear testimonies of those being baptized and then we’ll walk down to the beach to watch the baptisms. Afterwards, you are welcome to picnic at the shelter and shaded grounds below that Hillside has reserved. Bring lawn chairs, your lunch and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship with your Hillside family!
Directions to Bush Lake: from Hillside turn right onto 98th St.
– at the 3rd stoplight, turn right onto 34/Normandale Blvd. (north)
– at the 2nd stoplight, turn left onto 84th St. (west)
– 84th eventually turns into a single lane, goes up a hill and winds around the park reserve until you see the Bush Lake Beach main entrance on your right and Shelter #3 to the right of the entrance. Parking is available below the shelter or, if full, to the left of the main entrance. 9098 E. Bush Lake Road, Bloomington.
PRAYER FOR THE START OF SCHOOL Families and friends, let’s gather at Hillside Church at 9:00am on Saturday, August 20, for donuts and a time of prayer for the start of the school year. Then we’ll disperse to our various schools in Bloomington or other communities to spend about a half-hour praying “on site with insight.” Whether you are in a public or private school or home school – or you “graduated” from school years ago – we want to come together to pray for a great school year. Bring your friends, too! This is a fun way to get ready for school – and invite God to be at work in every classroom.
