Hello My Fellow Hillside Disciples: It's Saturday morning! Did you sleep in? Make pour over coffee? Complete the crossword? Bake scones? I hope the day has been full of activities that refresh you. As you know, we gather as a church family tomorrow morning. For Allison and me, Sunday is the best day of the week 'cuz we get to meet with the King and meet with you, our extended family whom we love. My sermon tomorrow zeroes in on the fifth of Jesus' seven personal conversations recorded in the Gospel of John. I'm looking forward to sharing with you what I believe God shared with me in this tense but fascinating encounter. Two quick reminders: First, we have Dinner of Seven coming up in two weeks on Sunday, March 22 (Thanks Kirsten Stracke for organizing). Please sign-up on the Hillside website today under “Events.” This event is fun and important for our continued church bonding. One reason Hillsiders Steve and Jacqueline Osborn are my special friends today is that we connected at a previous Hillside Dinner for Seven. Second, please consider signing up to join the team putting on the upcoming Mini Bike Fest on Saturday, March 21 (again, under “Events”). This is an important initiative for showing love to our neighbors. Hillside, we have such a great future together. Last Thursday night's youth gathering was buzzing with lots of students, lots of leaders, and lots of love. Earlier in the week our staff returned from a 48 hour planning retreat during which God gave us fresh direction for accomplishing our mission. Bottom line: We have every reason to believe Hillside's future as a School of Christ and Forward Operating Base for ministry is as bright as the sun. Thanks for all you do to make this a church family that makes God smile.
