*Reminder* We are still collecting donations to purchase food to feed the hungry. There is a red box in the narthex marked "mix-a-meal". Our goal is to raise $5000 to be able to not only purchase the needed food, but also bring the supplies here to Hillside (tentative date is 12/10/11) so we can also help by mixing, labeling and pack-ing the food that will be shipping around the world to combat starvation in the name of Christ. Please prayerfully consider giving both financially now and of your time later to help with the packing event.

FREEDOM FORTH MINISTRIES: We are serving 12 women and 13 children of low income and domestic abuse in our home community on Sunday evenings at Hillside Church. This ministry offers medical care and other tangible services with the intent to give our participants the tools to become self-sufficient. It is with love and compas-sion that we share the word of God and pray with these women. There are many areas that you can help to serve if you are inter-ested. Please contact Kristina Grandstaff 201-230-9786/wwwFreedomForth.org.
Dear Hillside Church: Ruth and I thank you for your love and concern over the past few months. We thank the families that provided meals, vis-its, cards and phone calls. Thank you to the pastors and elders for the spe-cial prayers. We also thank our many brothers and sisters in the Lord who prayed for us and took the time to ex-press concern. It’s comforting to know that if anyone in our church asks, they will be cared for in these ways. Sincerely, Henry and Ruth Will
