A Key To Living Longer! Hello Hillside
Family & Friends!
What do you think is the secret of a long
life? In a new survey recently, it was found that it does help if you come from a family of people that have lived a
long life (I know, real rocket science there), and it does help if you take good care of yourself and exercise (well, we knew
that one too). But they found out that the #1 reason that people live longer is worker satisfaction, when people enjoy
what they're doing. Wow! Literally, the key ingredient to living a long life is enjoying your job. We
spend so much of our life at work and I believe God wants us to be fulfilled and even joyful at work. I love my job.
I know what you're thinking, "Of course you do! Your Boss is perfect - literally!" True. But
I really think if we catch on to the truth that we are all really working for God each day, we will sense greater satisfaction
and fulfillment in our work. This Sunday I will be sharing a message called, "TAKE THIS JOB
AND LOVE IT." I know it will be a help and encouragement for you.  To honor you and your time,
we are starting the worship services punctually at 10:30 a.m. Come early enough to greet your friends and enjoy some
refreshments before the service. Sunday, February 22 is the launch of our 40 Days of Love campaign.
We'll
be having weekly small groups studies and
Sunday messages that go along with our emphasis. Everyone is invited!
Be sure to fill out an insert in the church bulletin to sign up for a small group.
You can also let us know of
your interest by email to pastordclift@aol.com.

Hillside Happenings Hello Hillside Friends and Family!
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Easy come, easy go"? Who is the idiot who came up with that?
I mean, the "easy go" part I can relate to, but I can't ever remember a time of "easy come."
In this economy, being able to earn a living is a huge difficulty and a seeming impossibility for some. What does God
have to say about all this? Well, this Sunday we are going to blast some myths about money and consider God's principles
for surviving in this crazy financial situation we find ourselves in. My message is simply called, "GOD'S
PLAN FOR FINANCIAL FREEDOM." I'm excited to share it with you. 
Sunday, February
22 is the launch of our 40 Days of Love campaign.
We'll be having weekly small groups studies and Sunday messages that go along with our
emphasis. Everyone is invited! Be sure to fill out an insert in the church bulletin to sign up for a small group. You

I look forward to seeing you Sunday!
Looking up and looking ahead,

Hillside Happenings Hello
Hillside Friends and Family!
Well, we're a week into 2009
and I don't see the economy doing any dramatic turns upward. While I think this may be a challenging year, I believe
it will also be a year to watch God do amazing things and teaching us tremendous lessons in trusting Him. Sunday we're starting
a series of messages on God's Principles of Managing Our Money. No, these aren't those "fork-it-over-until-it-hurts"
kinds of messages. That's not my style anyway. But we all need help knowing how we can have financial freedom
and the Bible offers great teaching about that. It's going to be a great series.
We've had a great time of prayer each night so far this wek at the church.
Each night we are joining together at 7 p.m. for prayer to get ourselves in focus for this year. We will be praying
together Friday night and Saturday night at 7 p.m. so join us if you can. We are having a time of worship each night
at 6:30 if you are able to come earlier.  Sunday, February 22 is the launch of our 40 Days of Love campaign. We will be having
weekly small groups studies and Sunday messages that go along with our emphasis. Everyone is invited! Be
sure to fill out an insert in the church bulletin to sign up for a small group.
I
look forward to seeing you Sunday!
Looking up and looking ahead,
Pastor David Clift

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR Hillside
Friends and Family!
In order to
get ourselves going in the right direction this year, we are having a series of prayer meetings beginning this Sunday
evening January 4, and running nightly until Saturday, January 10. Each night we will meet at 7 pm and the meetings
will go no longer than an hour (unless you want to stay longer). If you are able to come earlier, we will be having
a time of worship each night beginning shortly after 6:30 pm. There will be a different emphasis each night
so come to as many as you can. Tuesday night we will incorporate communion in our time together. We have
a need for childcare so if you are able to help with this during the week, please see Pastor David or you can email him
at PastorDClift@aol.com. If you'd like further details, see Jason Ward.  If you're like Cindy and I, you are experiencing financial pressures that make
beginning another year very difficult. On Sunday, January 11, we're starting a series of messages on what
the Bible says about our finances. Don't worry, these aren't those "fork-it-over-until-it-hurts"
kinds of messages. That's not my style anyway. But we all need help with how we can have financial freedom
and the Bible offers great teaching about that. It's going to be a great series.
Sunday, February 22 is the launch of our 40 Days of Love. We will be having weekly small groups and
Sunday messages that go along with our emphasis. Everyone is invited! Be sure to fill out an insert in the church
bulletin to sign up for a small group.
It's a new year
and there's a lot of excitement is ahead. I look forward to worshipping with you on this first Sunday of 2009!
Your friend,
Pastor David Clift
