A Holy Halloween

Sunday evening, Oct. 30th over 40 volunteers at Hillside played host to over 650 community guests for our annual Trunk or Treat event. It was a departure from years past, when the TOT event was held on Halloween night. This year, the approach was similar, but on the Sunday night before All Hallows Eve. The change was in an effort to encourage more Hillside families to participate, and to provide them with a free Halloween night to spend with family & their own neighborhoods. 

We remain committed to our involvement in the community and beyond. I personally had several conversations with new friends about the ministry at the church, and invited them to come check things out on a Sunday morning. We even had a young man visit Sunday morning, stick around in the afternoon to help set up, and stay to assist with the s'more station and hand out candy! What a wonderful testimony of the good-will approach to sharing in community and good news with one another. 

All this to say, it's good to be in ministry with my friends at Hillside. The love shared for community and service is an example we all can learn from. Well done, good and faithful servants! 
-Rev. Andy Beck
