This week's newsletter from Gene

We want to maximize our facilities for our own ministries, and for other groups that have missions compatible to ours here at Hillcrest, in addition to trying to be a good neighbor. We don’t rent out space for individuals or businesses, but try to accommodate other requests we receive.

This past weekend was a very busy time, particularly for our MPC. Friday, Casner had a special event for Grandparents; Friday evening, the Anderson Tennis team held a banquet; Saturday, the Deacons hosted the widow/widower banquet; and Sunday, we had the Missions Munch. These activities were in addition to a pretty full schedule, even on the weekends, outside our own usage on Sundays. We have a good custodial staff that stays on top of all this, and I am very thankful for all their hard work.

For the past number of years, we have tried to accommodate church member requests for personal use of some of our tables and chairs. However, with all the use our facility is receiving, this loaner program must come to an end. Please find other ways to provide tables and chairs for any special events you may have.

We recently completed an inventory and are missing some of our 8 foot tables and blue folding chairs. Please check your garages and storage areas to see if you might have some that haven’t yet been returned.
