FROM THE EDITORS
Upon entering the New Year, we have been
blessed as a congregation to review the past
year and set new goals for 2013. Keeping
optimistic in all our present and future
endeavours, we look forward to growing and
connecting with one another and the
communities around us in the name of Jesus
Christ. As Easter is just around the corner, may
we be reminded of renewal and the miracle
of everlasting life.

SPLINTERS FROM THE BOARD
We are in another "NEW YEAR" for Hillcrest
after our 2012 Annual Meeting on February 10th,
2013. As always we make New Year’s
resolutions. What are yours? As a congregation,
we have many in the planning stage made by
the Visionary Committee. We need everyone’s
input to make this a vital project. We are
looking forward to the congregational
presentation!!!
The Administrative Board has many new
members and we welcome you all!
Hopefully you will be eager to contribute your
time, talents and ideas.
In March, the World Day of Prayer is an
ecumenical celebration with Church Women
United in English and Spanish.
We are looking forward to the Maundy
Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday
services planned by the Worship Committee
and the Ministerial Team. They would have
worked very hard to make them inspirational
services for everyone.
The Board of Elders and the
Administrative Board are always open to any
suggestions to help in the smoother running of
our beloved church!!
Let us not forget to celebrate our history,
face the challenges of today, and promises of
tomorrow.

AMONG THE FAMILY
ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY | JULY 13-17, 2013 | ORLANDO, FLORIDA
This is the Disciples main chance to be together as a united family. If you have not attended
recently, or ever, you will be amazed at how “upbeat” the experience has become. Many
find it to be a most praise-worthy event. There is an excellent balance between 1) reviewing
the work of our church, 2) hearing the mind of the church, 3) fellowship, 4) social and
community activity in the host city before and even during the event, and 5) time and
money for spiritual development. Let’s Pray! Every week from now until the general Assembly,
join in prayer on a variety of subjects via the ‘Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)’ Facebook
page. You will be invited to add your own petition on the subject in the comment section
below each posting.
THE CANADIAN DISCIPLE
The weekly issue of The Canadian Disciple to the congregations, prepared by Rev. Rick
Hamilton, Regional Minister, and the Week of Compassion Report, can be found on the
As members of the Hillcrest family, we want to hear from you! After all, this is YOUR
