From the Family & Outreach Minister’s Desk
Praise to the LORD! Blessings abound. Driving 523 miles from home to put
down new roots is not for the faint of heart. Leaving Kentucky family & friends was not
without tears; but God has been so kind. We have already been showered with love here
at Hillview. Thank You! Our hearts are full. New relationships are forming. The bond is
sweet. We have peace knowing this is the community where the Lord has clearly called
us (Acts 17:26).
Furthermore, how special it was to announce as a father-to-be on Father’s Day
that baby Wehrle is due January 14th! My prayer is that all of the expected physical new
-births at Hillview are a sign of revival & spiritual new-birth as we share the Gospel in
the CSRA.
Earlier this week I was struck by words written in 1869 by Charles Spurgeon
about staying productive and fruitful for the Lord: “The dog in the kennel barks at the
fleas, the hunting dog does not even know they are there!” As I run, pray that fleas of
home-sickness, fleas of anxiety, and fleas of idleness find no place to latch on!
Happy 4th of July
Thank God for the
freedom we have in
our country, and for
the eternal freedom
found in Jesus Christ
alone.

Mid Year Review
Much has taken place in the forefront and behind the scenes in 2016. Since we are half way through the
year, I felt it would be helpful to list the completed and ongoing projects.
Completed Projects
 Sanctuary Renovations: The carpet was replaced and the ceiling and walls were finished.
 Hallways and Offices: The carpet was replaced and the ceiling and walls were painted.
 Budget Expansion: The Finance Committee worked hard to evaluate and expand the budget.
 New Office Space: The Building and Media Committees converted the Library to office space.
 Website Redesign: Chris Williamson redesigned the church’s website.
 Family & Outreach Minister: The Personnel/Search Committee spent many long hours working
to discern God’s will and helped identify Taylor Wehrle as the man set apart for Hillview.
Ongoing Projects
 Electronic Sign: The electronic sign is scheduled to be installed in July in time for VBS.
 Windows for Doors: Several years ago, the church voted to install windows in the classroom and
office doors. This project should be completed in July.
 Twenty-Year Celebration: October is right around the corner and we will soon shift gears toward
planning the anniversary celebration. Be on the alert for more information.
This is not an exhaustive list, but a snap shot of things God is doing at Hillview. My thanks to each of
you for the extra hours, dedication, and countless prayers. Remember, “Many are the plans in a person's
heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21). Just as we have demonstrated the
patience to wait on God, I hope that we will continue to move forward in faith
when He calls us to action.
