Starting on Sunday, July 4, we're switching service times to beat the summer heat. 9 AM will move outside (weather permitting) and 10:30 AM will move inside/online.

Until then, Sunday services on June 20 and 27 continue with 9 AM inside/online and 10:30 AM outside (weather permitting.)

First Sunday Men’s Coffee on June 27 from 8 to 9 AM. Connect with other men outside on the hill once a month before the first service on June 27, July 25, and August 22. Anyone can stop by, but if you want free coffee, register here and we'll send you a promo code to grab a coffee/tea on us from your local Starbucks.
Congregational Meeting with Budget Vote on Sunday, June 27 at 11:45 AM immediately following the second service in the sanctuary. Everyone is welcome to attend, but only church members will vote on the Budget for the 2021/2022 Ministry year. Please plan to attend so that we can reach a quorum of members.
Adult group life at Hillcrest is full of summer possibilities. We have book studies, events for men and women, upcoming conferences and more to keep you connected to God and others.

Learn about serving with the Sunday Preschool Team on June 27 at 11:30 in the green room (lower level, across from the nursery.) We need volunteers to teach and spend time with our 2 to 4 year olds during Sunday services. We'll go through procedures and offer sign-ups for a Sunday morning. If you are unable to attend but would still like to volunteer, email Gretchen Gordon at ggordon@hillcrestcov.org. All volunteers must go through training and a background check before volunteering.  
Hillcrest to Auschwitz Exhibit this August
This August, Hillcrest is visiting the Auschwitz exhibition at Union Station and extending the experience with optional events before and after the exhibit.

"This groundbreaking exhibition brings together more than 700 original objects and 400 photographs from over 20 institutions and museums around the world. Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. is the most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the history of Auschwitz and its role in the Holocaust ever presented in North America." See exhibition website.

Our Hillcrest version is a comprehensive experience including optional events before and after the exhibition such as teachings about the Biblical view of Israel and her role in the story of God, watching a movie about the social and historical context in which Auschwitz and the Holocaust happened, debriefing to process and learn practical ways for us as the church to stay connected to God’s heart regarding Israel and Jewish people in our day. Tickets are very limited, so sign up as soon as possible. Only 49 spots available.
