Next at Hillcrest

New Sermon Series January 25 through February 15! Join us on Sundays at 9 or 10:45 AM or online, for worship and a message from We Are Family. God forms families the same way He forms the church—not through control or perfection, but through belonging, formation, healthy relationships, and shared life in Christ. Join us each week when we explore how we are family.

TRAILHEAD | Belonging & Believing at Hillcrest on Wednesdays, February 11, 18, 25 from 6:30 to 8 PM. Hillcrest is pursuing new life together in Jesus. The adventure of our faith compels us to follow Jesus, welcome everyone, and love all. Join us to discover why Hillcrest exists and how you can make a deeper connection to the mission of our faith community. We will spend time discussing the Covenant denomination, Hillcrest's unique calling and vision, and how each person can contribute to our vision. On February 18 we will attend the Ash Wednesday service together and then meet after to debrief. This will be a great first step if you are newer at Hillcrest or it will be a important next step if you'd like to become a member. Childcare provided if you RSVP. Sign up here...

Serve at Adelante Thrift on Saturday, February 14 and March 14 from 10 AM to noon. Working with other Hillcresters, we'll help the store prepare to meet the needs of the community by sorting clothing and items, stocking racks, and price labeling at the direction of thrift store staff. Adelante Thrift Store supports Mission Adelante Ministries, one of our mission partners in KCK. Sign up here...

Ash Wednesday on February 18 begins the 40-day journey to Easter Sunday. As we prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we'll pause to embrace the broken nature of our relationship with God. The ashes of Ash Wednesday remind us that we are only human, and we rely on God to help us pursue new life in Jesus. We'll worship, read Scripture, and experience interactive stations together, which means kids, students, adults, and friends. Meet at 6:30 PM in the sanctuary. Everyone is invited!

Prayer Week is Monday, February 23 through Sunday, March 1 | We invite you to pray throughout the week in different ways: while you walk or drive in your neighborhood, attend school or after-school practices, shop in local stores, work from home or on the jobsite, and anywhere else you go during the week. Just think of all the places your prayers will go!

As we pray individually and together (Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday,) we'll ask God to bring peace, healing, and hope to our community.

See here for 7-Day Prayer Guide. Copies will be available in the lobby on Sundays.

Caregivers Support Group meets on fourth Tuesdays from 1:30 to 3 PM in Room 203. Caregivers need care and encouragement, too! This once-a-month group gathers to listen and pray with each other. Please use the office entrance. Next Meeting: February 24.

Card Care Ministry reaches out to connect and let others know they are seen, supported, and loved. If you know someone who could use support, encouragement, or a kind word, the Hillcrest Card Care Ministry will send them a card. See here to let us know the recipient's information.
