Outside the Program

Hillcrest serves in the community most Wednesday evenings during the year, and while there's much to be excited about with this program, some Hillcresters serve in the community outside of the program, in their own unique way and time. Part of my challenge is finding these stories and then communicating them to the rest of our church as a way of encouragement- you don't have to be with us on a Wednesday night to join us in our mission. One of these stories came my way a couple weeks ago:

This week we purchased 10 used coats and 12 new pairs of knit gloves to distribute to students involved (with an after school program). In addition we crocheted 30 stocking caps that have been distributed to students who have come without a hat.

I so enjoy these stories. If you're a Hillcrester (or even if you're not!) who's up to some good, drop a line and let us know!
