For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23

Our scripture memory work for this unit in Hillcrest Kids teaches us one of the most basic but most foundational aspects of our Christian faith. Students of all ages are learning that each and every one of us is accountable to God for our own sin because we are all sinners. But every week we also explore the good (great!) news that Jesus Christ took the punishment for everyone who will call on the name of the Lord for salvation!

We'd love for your family to join us in Sunday School soon. We have classes for all ages, and everyone, young and old, studies the same portion of Scripture each week!

Here are some of our favorite "Wild West" memories from our Wednesday nights in July! We played lots of crazy games, roasted s'mores, threw hundreds of water balloons, and capped it off with a visit from Mr. Greg and his many animal friends! But most importantly, we learned about some amazing Bible heroes who showed us that we can do the right thing even when it isn't easy... because of Jesus!

THANK YOU to all our amazing volunteers, to the awesome parents who shared their kiddos with us, and to the incredible kids who made Wednesday nights a BLAST!

We have had a BLAST the last two weeks at WILD WEST WEDNESDAY! This week is "Water Week," so come prepared to get wet, to learn about another incredible Bible hero, and to make fun memories with friends! We hope you'll join us at 6:30 on the front lawn!

In case you missed it last week, part of our Hillcrest Kids renovation and expansion includes a "For the Family" wall! Here you will find books, articles, sermon audio cds and more for everyone in the family! If you've never tried memorizing the New City Catechism with your children, we have plenty of copies available as well! If you have questions about the resources we feature, be sure to ask the Team Leader!

We can't wait to see you Sunday! (Check the comments for a link to an excellent sermon we feature on the "For the Family" wall!)

See you in Hillcrest Kids tomorrow!

My youngest child is about to turn 10 years old and will soon be joining her two siblings in the double digits. This means that Aileen and I have graduated—we have graduated from parenting little ones to parenting big ones. Lots of parenting remains, of course, but the little years…

We are back to WEEK 1 of the NEW CITY CATECHISM! If you have never memorized a catechism before, or aren't quite sure what we are talking about, we think you'll find this link quite helpful! We'd love to have your family join the many others at Hillcrest who spend time each day memorizing the NCC!

(There are so many resources that can help you access the NCC, including books, a terrific website, and a very handy app for both iPhone and Android.)

The New City Catechism is a modern-day resource aimed at helping children and adults alike learn the core doctrines of the Christian faith via 52 questions and answers.

Happy New Year, Hillcrest Families! If your family is jumping in to the M. Murray McCheyne reading plan with the church, then today you will be reading Matthew 1 together! Here is a super, super fun way to begin to memorize the lineage of Jesus, or to just listen to it in a very creative format. Enjoy!!
