This week's newsletter from Gene

We had a very successful 2nd Half ministry project here at Hillcrest this past week. We worked last Thursday through Saturday and repainted the 3rd floor youth Summit area. Many of you have not been there, but it’s the third floor of the education building, about 5,000 sf that had to be masked, primed and painted. Over the course of the three days there were 16 of us who worked on the project. We finished about noon on Saturday. Thanks to all for the outstanding job!! 

We had originally planned to take a group to the South Texas Children’s Home in Beeville to work over spring break, but they have an adequate number of groups coming without us. Instead, we will be doing  a church-wide work day on Saturday, March 21st, to do some spring cleaning on our grounds, and redo the pea gravel in our playground. This project can use all able-bodied people, particularly guys, as we will have lots of wheelbarrow and shoveling work.

Although we are not taking a group to the South Texas Children’s Home, we are collecting items for use in their commissary. These items are due here at Hillcrest by this Sunday, March 1st, if you’d like to participate. Here is a list of the items they have requested.  Please leave them in the reception room across from the church office.

Napkins

Toilet tissue - 2 ply please

Paper towels

Sugar Cereals
