The Sunday Shout-Out: June 29th, Edition.

It is possible that Mike and Darlene Reese have worn more hats here at Hilltop than have any others. In fact there may not be a single hat that you can volunteer for around here that they have not worn at one time or another. If you have a spare afternoon sometime you might want to schedule an appointment with Pastor Pete and he can give the low down of all that they have done to strengthen just ab0ut every ministry we have. And those who have had the pleasure of working with them can tell you that if the words faithful, reliable and consistent were not already a part of the English language; they would have to be created in order to describe Mike and Darlene's service. We believe that God will always provide what is necessary for us to do the work that He has called us to do as a local church and nowhere is that more evident than in the way He raises up servants within a congregation. The Reese's have frequently been those servants; on occasions too numerous to mention the Reese's have risen up and have given of themselves to further the work taking place here at Hilltop and in the greater Carroll County community of faith. We are thankful to God that he has seen fit to place them here with us. Mike and Darlene you are both treasured gifts and today we shout-you-out!

Blessings,
PB

Dear PB,
Mike and I want to thank you for all the wonderful things you said about us. It has been our pleasure to have been able to participate in the ministries of this church. For more than 35 years, through the good times and the not-so-good times, we have always felt that this was where God wanted us to be. We will continue to be active as long as God gives us health and strength. Watch for us at VBS!
God bless,
Darlene
