7 Days of Thankfulness: DAY 4 - "Hillside Baptist Church"

DAY 4 - "Hillside Baptist Church"

I'm thankful for our church family!

For over 5 years, Lydia and I have been active members of Hillside Baptist Church. Located east of Springfield on historic Route 66, the church sits on a hill. We have a wonderful congregation that meets regularly on Sundays and Wednesday.

We have an awesome pastor, Cecil Tolbert,  who loves the Lord and is always there for his congregation. He is very knowledgeable in the scripture, and does very well in where God has put him!

There are several great friends there as well!  Hillside has a bit of a country feel, with a great big country heart. We try to be as friendly and welcoming as can be. Focused on ministry, and reaching souls, Hillside is a great church to be a part of!

I'm involved in both the van ministry and choir. Lydia helps out in nursery when scheduled, and we both work with the children every Wednesday night service. It keeps us busy, but we feel that's were the Lord wants us to serve. We try to help out in any other things when asked, and have been involved in many of the activities. I also provide my graphic services to the church when needed as well.

What a joy to be part Hillside Baptist Church! Come visit sometime......

Singing, Singing, Singing....

Tonight starts a weekend of singing for my group, "Steppin' Out Quartet"! We'll be singing at Iduma Baptist in Laquey, MO, this evening at 7pm. Admission is free, and there is food and refreshments afterwards! Tomorrow night, we'll be singing at 7pm at Bethel Community Church in Fairplay, MO.

Both concerts are going to fun, so we're looking forward to it. Plus with us, you never know what might happen. There is always some issue or complication that comes our way. Not that its bad though, it sure can make for some humorous moments! (see us singing "Ain't God Good" on youtube for an example)

We're also singing a special during the evening services at our church (hillsidebc.com), and then singing one more time before the fireworks afterwards. What a weekend!
