On Easter Sunday, we will have a sunrise service at 7:00am in the lower parking lot behind the church (weather permitting). We will have our regular worship service at 10:00am in the sanctuary, with overflow seating in the coffee shop. Between the two services, we will serve a pancake breakfast and the coffee shop will be open!

As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, we will remember loved ones that we have lost with Easter lilies and a memorial slide show. If you would like to bring an Easter lily in memory of your loved one, we will use it to adorn the stage. If you would like a photo of your loved one to appear in a memorial slide show before the service, please email the photo to Jeff Ward.

In preparation for Holy Week and Easter, we encourage you to take advantage of the devotional resources we have highlighted on RightNow Media. Just go to the Hillside home page on RightNow Media to find recommended videos for both adults and children.
