Thank You Elizabeth D'Agostino!
TRANSITIONING TO THE NETHERLANDS
We are grateful for Elizabeth and her faithful service at Hillcrest over the past year as our Administrative Assistant. Today, she and her family began their move to the Netherlands, where she will continue her graduate studies.
Please pray for Elizabeth, Tise’, Sophia, and Lucas as they travel, wait for their visas to be finalized, sell their home, and look for permanent housing.
We are thankful for the ways Elizabeth has served Hillcrest and supported our missions and outreach ministries. We are excited to see how God leads their family in this next chapter.

Life Groups Launching in August (formerly Small Groups)
SUN AUG 16 / 9 & 10:45AM SANCTUARY & LOBBY
Our mission is Pursuing New Life Together in Jesus, and we believe faith grows best in community. That's why we have Life Groups—places where people build meaningful relationships, grow in faith, pray together, ask honest questions, and encourage one another as they follow Jesus. Some of life's most meaningful moments of growth happen not only on Sundays, but also around tables, in living rooms, and in everyday life together.
Join us on Sunday, August 16, as we share more about Life Groups and how you can get connected. We can't wait to help you find your place!
