Hello Hillside Family & Friends, Well, we're off and running in our new message series on marriage called "Marriage
Matters." We had a great time last week talking about 6 keys that unlock the potential of your marriage for it
to become all God wants it to be. What was great is to see how they also apply to other relationships in our
lives. We don't have room to give you all the really good stuff, but the keys were:
Key #1: Communication. Key #2: Consideration.
1. By being helpful.
2. Sympathize with
their doubts and fears.
3. Forgiving their mistakes. Key #3: Compromise. Key
# 4: Contact. Key #5: Commitment.
Key #6: Christ. If you missed the message last week, you can
listen to it, watch it, or download it at: http://www.hillsidecares.org/messages.html This week, we get a little more specific by talking about
our relationships with a message called, "FINDING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE." Now, some of you are saying,
"Oh well, it's too late for that message. I'm already married." This message will help you discover
and deal with issues that may be points of tension in your marriage or relationships right now. If you are single
or engaged, this will be especially helpful to you as well. A NEW ADULT BIBLE STUDY! Join in a great time as Jason Ward leads us
in a study through the wonderful new book, Counsel From The Cross. This book will not only help you with what
you face in life, but will give you tools to help others. Join us each Sunday at 9 am in the Fellowship Hall.
Book will be available this Sunday at the study. See you there! NEW

GLEDHILL: "My cardiologist
found a few things I have to deal with before Prostate Cancer surgery. The most pressing is a possible blockage in the
left & right arteries of my heart. I am scheduled for a Heart Cath on Monday 9/27. If they find clear arteries,
I will have surgery on Oct 7. If I need stents, surgery will be in November. Pray for me to be wise with
my time management. It looks like my schedule just filled up with more medical stuff. My first reflections on
this caused disappointment. I'm good now. I'm trusting God for His marvelous grace.” PAVINGFUND We are in desperate need of parking
lot repair. We had an outstandingly gracious bid from a friend of Hillside who owns a paving company to repair and
re-asphalt our lot for $9000. Please consider what you can give above your regular giving to help with this need.
Thanks so much! KINGDOM
