COMMUNION SUNDAY INFORMATION
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.
BENEVOLENCE OFFERING: Each Communion Sunday, we collect an offering for those in our Hillside family who are experiencing financial difficulties. Ushers will be collecting in the lobby following the service (checks payable to Hillside Church) or text the dollar amount and the word “benevolence” to 84321.

SMALL GROUPS:
At Hillside, we want to help you follow Jesus in all aspects of your life. One of the core ways we do that is through Small Groups—groups of 5—12 people who meet regularly to connect, grow, and serve together. We would love to help you find a group that’s right for you!
