God is with us – in answered promises, realized dreams, and refreshed hope. How could we help but sing? Music is a part of the season of Christmas as we follow the example of the angles that filled the night sky that first Christmas and proclaimed the good news of Jesus. I invite you to join us at our new time (10:00 am) on Sunday mornings to sing some of the favorite songs of Christmas. Let’s explore the songs born from our joy that Christ has entered the world! Inside this edition of the Hillcrest Herald you will find all of the many great opportunities to connect in fellowship and service during our Christmas season. God bless, Tim
Christmas Greetings Please allow me to wish you a Merry Christmas from my family and the staff at Hillcrest. Please accept our wishes for a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Be filled with the joy of Christ as you accept the gift of the divine Child whose destiny was guided by His love for you.
Matthew 1:23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him
Immanuel”

PARTIES AND CHRISTMAS
CHEER Cookie Exchange This annual exchange of holiday sweet treats will take place Saturday, Dec. 13 at 9:30 a.m. This is a great way to gather and taste many difference kinds of cookies, candies and confections without
all the fuss. Please sign up on the hallway bulletin board by Dec. 7 so everyone knows how many cookies to make. On or before Dec. 11, each person will be contacted with the number of cookies they will need to bring to the exchange. You will then pre-package your cookies in batches of 6 so that each person will be able to take home one package of each baked item. Happy baking! Contact: Stacy Lee

The Hillcrest Postal Express is once again in service. To send Hillcrest members Christmas greetings just write each person’s name on the front of the card and your name on the back of the card and place them in the mailbox down in the fellowship hall. Each Wednesday and Sunday during the month of December, Hillcrest youth will deliver the cards for you. In lieu of paying U.S. postage, please consider including a donation to Hillcrest for this service. Checks can be made payable to Hillcrest with “Christmas cards” in the notation. There are envelopes in the mail box for cash donations. Proceeds will go to the Fellowship Team to offset the rising cost of coffee, cookies, etc. Please see Cathy Wright for more information.
New Year’s Eve Family Fun Night @ HBC If you are looking for a fun family - oriented way to bring in the new year. Why not spend New Year’s Eve at Hillcrest?

Bring your family, an appetizer or dessert to share.
Love Auction Update Thanks to all who supported the HBC women’s ministry by crafting, cooking and purchasing all the items at the Love Auction. Due to your generosity, we were able to raise over $2,100. This money goes to support local, national and international mission programs throughout the coming year.

Also, a big thank you to everyone that donated travel size toiletry items for the Ronald McDonald House.

If you would still like to contribute to this cause please drop your donations in the box located on the table at the bottom of the stairs going into the fellowship hall. Items can include toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap/body wash, lotion, Kleenex, hand sanitizer…..all travel size please. Thanks for being a blessing to those in need.

Operation Christmas Child Update
We were able to successfully pack and deliver 51 shoeboxes for the Operation Christmas Child project. Thank you to all of the Pioneer Clubs teachers, students and families for working together to pack on a special night. Also, to the many Hillcrest fami-lies that not only donated boxes and items for the boxes, but donated money to cover the shipping of the boxes. What a great way to spread Christmas love and cheer this season. Thank you to Taylor and Josh Hutton for playing a big part in organizing our efforts. Be in prayer for them as they travel to North Carolina during the first week of December to volunteer at the main processing center. We will look forward to hearing about their adventures when they return!
