We are starting a recurring Blog feature this weekend: "The Sunday Shout-Out!"
We will be focusing our attention on the people that make Hilltop, Hilltop. These are the people who with little or no recognition make sure that things get done around here. They clean, sing, and fill plastic easter eggs. They fix toilets, pull weeds and plant flowers. They change air filters, set up chairs and stack them back up again. They coordinate concerts, sponsor Compassion children and change diapers. They fix computers, fix computers and fix computers. They change batteries, run power point, and cook hot dogs. They pick people up for church, fix food for the ill and apply band-aids to boo-boos. They paint faces, monitor timeout chairs and man the moon bounce. They bring coconut cake to the pastors, and say nice things about long sermons. They teach first grade spelling, fourth grade math and eighth grade Bible. They love our kids, they love our wives, they love us and they love the Lord. They dress up like energizer rabbits, hippies and Billy Ray Cyrus to carry eggs across the sanctuary floor. They replace light bulbs, brew coffee and bring yummy donuts. They organize all-nighters, VBS, and tie balloons into animal shapes. They host small groups, lead small groups and organize small group Olympics. And finally: the give, they pray, they love, they serve, and we are a better church because of them.
We give thanks to God for the part of Christ's Body that makes up Hilltop Assembly, and it is our desire to give honor where honor is due. So, as we pursue His purposes for us as a local congregation; may we be those who champion one another in ministry even as we cheer each other on in our personal pursuits of Christ.
We are talking about the exact opposite of "ME CHURCH."
"The Sunday Shout-Out!" Look for it soon.
Blessings,
PB
