Welcome to our web page!
We hope the information here is clear and helpful to
you. We value any comments you would like to make and we
encourage you to make use of the resources available
here and through the links to other Christian sites.
If you are looking for a church in this community, we
want you to know that you are more than welcome to visit

special activities. If you are not familiar with the
rural Sinking Spring area, you should contact us for
directions—our campus is beautiful, but not easy to find
the first time. In fact, if you have any questions,
please feel free to email us, or give me a call at:

Sincerely,

You are invited to see
To Save a Life
September 12 • 2 PM and 6:20 PM
Early this year, TO SAVE A
LIFE opened in theaters nationwide. This independent
film about teens and the choices they make in their
daily lives quickly struck a chord with teens and
families. Overnight, the film received a #1 Fandango Fan
rating and maintained it for over a month. Critics and
youth workers raved, families were changed, and viewers
consistently commented: “Every teen and parent needs to
see this film.”
Hillside Christian Church is hosting two special
screenings of TO SAVE A LIFE on Sunday, September 12th.
This event is available to all in our community. There
will be a matinee at 2:00 PM and an evening showing at
6:30 PM. The church is located at 3322 E Galen Hall Rd,
Reinholds (just off Fritztown Rd between Sinking Spring
and Reinholds).
TO SAVE A LIFE is the story
of all-American teen Jake Taylor, who seems to have it
all. But after a childhood friend’s death, Jake’s world
turns upside down, and he is forced to make a decision
that could change his life forever. TO SAVE A LIFE is
about making unexpected choices and sacrifices, while
having the courage and determination to persevere
against all odds.
At some point, every teen
has to decide: "What's my life going to be about?" TO
SAVE A LIFE dares to bring that question into their
world, encouraging them to answer it with boldness,
honesty and compassion.
We hope to challenge teens and build families through
the conversations that this movie will inspire on your
drive home. As another school year starts and families
get into the rhythm of fall, we want to encourage
families in our neighborhood to make this year better
and we want to teach principles that will help you
improve—and maybe even save—your family.

Dakota ~ Photos (See Below) |
|
|
Thank you for your prayers for the
mission project to South Dakota! The primary goal of footers,
floor and basement walls for the new addition to the main building of
Diamond Willow Ministries was completed. All sorts of other jobs were
done too for both the ministry and some folks from the community,
plus they met many people and worked with Christians from about 10 other
churches to complete the task.
