Friday, August 21st, we celebrated our first year as the church Hilltop Campus Church! The worship time led by Nick Roth was captivating, the dance by Amanda Graves had everyone clapping, the message about being a light on the hill by Pastor Kip struck a power chord, and God was palpable to this writer. Afterwards, we nourished ourselves with the conversation and full spread of cake and comestibles everyone provided and this nourishment was sufficient far into the night. The book of remembrance of the past year was revealed containing a multitude of pictures and stories of God’s work being done in our lives over the last year. You can see pictures of the night here.
Hey friends, our new website is www.convergexa.com. Come visit us and say, “Hullo”! Cheers!
Wednesdays at 4:15pm, we meet together to pray for Israel, the safety and salvation of the Jewish people, especially those who are our friends/family, peace in Jerusalem, Israel, and the middle East, that God would move in people’s hearts in this area towards His love, that our governments would make the right decisions for less bloodshed in this area, to be an informed people about the world events and seasons we’re in, what it means for “the end times” and God’s purposes in the end times, and lift up the Messiah, Yeshua.
The leaders will blog here about things they see in the news, get through emails, thoughts from books, etc… They might also post pictures, videos, thoughts or passages of Scripture to think about, or whatever is happening from week to week. We have talked about celebrating the Jewish holidays/holy-days/festivals as a means to understanding the deep symbolism and what it means to our own faith.
If you attend or are thinking about checking it out, keep an eye out here for future posts and have an excellent day!
Sunday mornings at 10:30am, we meet together to eat, have fun, talk through our lives and encourage one another in our faith and passion for the Christ. The leaders will blog here about things to take note of on a certain day, like menu themes, what to bring, etc… They might also post pictures, weekly game scores, videos, thoughts or passages of Scripture to think about, or whatever is happening from week to week.
