Please Join Us for A New Bible Study!

One of the most often‑quoted New Testament passages is the latter part of Romans 1:17: “The righteous will live by faith.” Paul is actually quoting the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk (2:4b), a verse that later became a cornerstone of Martin Luther’s Reformation theology. But how familiar are we, as 21st‑century American Christians, with the prophet Habakkuk?

Join us for a three‑week study led by Pastor Rob as we explore this powerful and often overlooked book. Sessions will be held on Wednesdays—October 28, November 4, and November 11—at 7:00 PM via Zoom. Please contact the church office (919)967-3056 or [email protected] if you would like to participate

This small group will be a Zoom discussion group meeting on Wednesday nights, 7:00-8:00 p.m., October 28, November 4, 11.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Let’s take a little time and effort to express our appreciation and gratitude to Hillside’s Pastor Rob Tennant.

Perhaps you can send a card with a written personal message, maybe a gift card for coffee, drop off some tasty snacks, or write an encouraging Facebook post. One thing we can all do is commit to pray for him. For ideas on how to pray, click on this 31-day Prayer Guide from Life Action.

If you choose to write a card or personal note, feel free to mail or drop it off in the church office before the end of the month.

Please remember our pastor in some way this month. Take time to reflect on how his devotion to serving the Lord at Hillside has impacted your life and then respond.
