50 Years

Today marks fifty years of existence for the Hillcrest Church of Christ. There is a massive celebration (or "jubilee" as we are calling it) taking place within the confines of the Hillcrest building this morning. But more than a celebration for how long this church has been serving the community and God's Kingdom, my hope is that we remember to celebrate Christ's presence in this world and it is through His death and resurrection that we may have life. It is through this life and God's continued work and presence that any congregation may accomplish anything good and that all of the glory should be given to God. I believe the jubilee planning team has done a great job remembering that it is by God's activity - and despite our best efforts - that this congregation (and all others for that fact) continues to be active and effective.

Today, may we remember great people who have served God's Kingdom and give all the glory and praise to God!
