Missions Update, 2024 End of Year

In today's sermon, Pastor Dave shared updates on various mission trips that we have undertaken recently, emphasizing the importance of connecting with local communities and helping those in need. He highlighted how the early church, particularly through Paul's ministry, prioritized caring for the poor, encouraging attendees to consider their own giving towards those in need, especially during the Christmas season. Through a handful of stories we heard from those who partnered and went on a trip with Hillside, he illustrated how transformative these experiences can be, not just for those receiving aid but also for the volunteers themselves. As we all prepare for the upcoming year, Pete challenges everyone to think about how they can actively engage in helping the less fortunate within their budgets and daily lives.
