The New Changes to HSM

Hey All, welcome to the new Hillcrest Student Ministries blog.  Check back often for news and updates.  The first update is to share with everyone the exciting changes happening this Fall!

Tuesday Nights - Life Groups

5:30-6:30pm - Supper in Room 8
6:30-7pm      - Games in the Gym
7-9pm           - Worship/Teaching/Small Groups

Want to get involved?
We are looking for people who would like to help cook meals for Tuesday nights.  If we get 8 volunteers the commitment would be once every 2 months which is about 5 times a year.  Kitchen leaders would also have a small group of students helping them.  We will give you as much help or as much freedom with meal planning as you would like.

We are also looking for people who have a desire to see young people grow closer to God and would like to help lead a small group of students on Tuesday nights.

If you are interested in getting involved in any way please talk to Pastor Josh or Danielle.

Friday Nights - The Landing

6-7pm      - Supper
7-9:30pm - Worship/Meeting

The Landing is a place for all students to take off their masks and be real.  It's a safe place for real people to find help for their hurts, habits and hang-ups.  If you are in grade 7-12 this is the place for you!  There is lots of time for connecting, discussion, sharing and being real.

Want to get involved?
We are looking for people who want to walk alongside students in this Christ-centered, discussion-driven curriculum.  If you're interested and would like to know more please contact Pastor Josh or Danielle.

Bible Quizzing
This is the first time in a while that we're running a Bible Quizzing program at Hillcrest.  Practice times are yet to be determined.  We are looking for students who would like to get together for practice for 1.5 hours a week as well as study at home.  The group will be assigned a portion of Scripture to memorize and have friendly competitions throughout the year with other youth groups.  It's a great way to get into the Bible more, meet new friends and have a lot of fun

Want to get involved
We are looking for another couple adults to help coach the team and give guidance alongside the 2 parents who have committed to coaching this season.  If you'd like more information please talk to Pastor Josh or Danielle.

There are many reasons for the new changes, above all, we are aligning ourselves with the mission and vision of Hillcrest Church and, through much prayer and discussion, believe that these changes accomplish that as we work together with the Holy Spirit to make an impact for Jesus in this city and beyond.

Blessing, Pastor Josh
