TRANSCRIPT
April 2017
Greetings Hillcrest, The month of April is all about the Resurrection and it is also my favorite holiday. It means Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain, but He washed it white as snow. It also means three days later He’s walking through walls, eating, talking, and teaching. I still am amazed at how He came in my place to make me a place. The Real Bible Conference was successful and fruitful again this year. The preaching was anointed and the spirit was sweet. Thank you, Hillcrest, for making this possible. We had 139 guest cards completed and many of them were Pastors from surrounding churches. Our church needed revival and many were revived. The guests needed revival and they got it! We had 24 souls saved and 14 have already been baptized, hallelujah. I have had Pastors, Evangelists, and Layman contact me asking that we continue to host the conference and we intend to do so if we can find anointed Preachers. Start now to pray for next year. I hope you don’t miss it! Keep inviting lost people and pray for them all the way home. The convicting power has been extremely manifested and firmly resisted by some. Why not let go and let God? Although I still have some medical problems, I praise Him that He recently let me preach six times in five days and that’s the longest in over two years. God removed polyps off my vocal cords and a large nodule from my thyroid. This is a miracle! I am proof that Jesus can, never doubt that! I pray that you understand that I am at a place where I cannot be exposed to much, but please don’t hesitate to set up an appointment, call, and pray. I will never turn away anyone that is in need! We have an amazing core crowd at Hillcrest, and I love you and thank you for standing with me, for Jesus, and in Hillcrest. You are the best! I Thessalonians 5:12-24
Love You and Stand for You,
Bro. Glenn
I Peter 5:1-4

Many thanks to all the band, choir, sound and light folks, and
soloist who made the Real Bible Conference such a major success!
Our Easter Music/Drama, “Crucified Lamb - Risen Lord” is
fast approaching and we need your help. Starting April 2nd, there will
be free tickets available at the welcome center to give to your LOST
friends. Why not invite them to the presentation and offer to take them
to eat before or after? Everyone knows someone who is lost and this is
a great way to let them see and hear the Gospel in a unique way!
I also want to take this time to give a word of appreciation to
all of our children’s choir workers! They enjoy working with your
children, but they also need to hear your appreciation. Why not tell
them this Sunday?! - Bro. Steve Evans

We are now into April which means “Resurrection Sunday”.
We are excited about what our music ministry has in store for us. In
the past we have had large crowds for the morning worship service,
but our Sunday School dips a little. This year lets make an extra
effort to have a large crowd for Sunday School. Teachers, let’s make
a big push in making those contacts. - Bro Mike Shelby

Come On In and Check Us Out!
In Hearing God, Peter Lord does a masterful job of correct-
ing the tragic misconception of God as a silent Father or a God we
cannot hear. This book will help you make hearing God a vital part
of your walk with the Lord. Harold Hunter told us during the Bible
Conference that this book changed his life.
We will continue our weekly Monday night visitation
throughout the month of April. Our VBS Blitz will be coming
up in May, that will be a time for us to go out and invite kids to VBS.
Thanks to all who have been faithful in attendance and
participation in our adult Bible study class on Sunday evenings at
5 pm. This month we will complete our study "One Nation Under
God". What a Godly generation of men who undertook the great task
of writing American law and individual rights for a new nation. Each
freedom American citizens enjoy can be traced back to Scripture the
Holy Ghost inspired Godly men to write thousands of years ago. Oh
that God might raise up another generation of God-fearing, God-
honoring men and women who would return to obedience and rever-
ence to His Word! We can be that people, if we choose, if we repent,
if we return. Let's make up our minds today to be faithful to the Lord
and His Church. Let's see what God can do when we choose to honor,
instead of choosing to hinder. See ya in D.T.
