Open-Elders meeting tonight (March 9th) 7pm
Just a quick reminder that the elders are opening up their leadership meeting tonight (Tuesday March 9th) to anybody who wants to swing by and hear/discuss some of our recent moves to a more pluralistic leadership structure (including T
im's move away from a paid teaching position
).
The plan is to leave lots of room to answer your questions, get your opinion and cast some vision and you can expect the following:
7:00pm (open)
Welcome and follow up to Sunday’s announcement – Gordon Russell
Review of our Values – Stephen Mawdsley
What are our needs? - James Kingsley and the community
What are the thoughts of the leadership team – James Kingsley
Moving Forward – Gord Russell
8:30pm (close)
If you've got any specific questions you'd like to pose beforehand (or if you can't make it tonight) feel free to email us via elders at hillsidelondon dot com.
Update on Last Sunday's Announcement
If you missed our time together this past Sunday (Feb 28th) we wanted to give you a quick update on some new developments in our continued efforts to fully realize Hillside's vision of a "community of freedom worshiping God in spirit and truth."
Tim and Gord kicked off our teaching time by announcing to the congregation that Tim will be stepping aside from his paid role as Hillside's primary teaching pastor this May.
The decision comes as part of a conversation the leadership team has been involved with since the fall about Hillside's opportunity to start "building up" the community. After five steady years of re-imagining our community's values, we believe that we're at a point where it's time to get creative with the number of voices we hear from on Sundays. Having a steady and constant Teaching Pastor in Tim has been foundational - we're simply now looking to lay some bricks upon that foundation.
Obviously, this may come across as "big news" to some, but we believe the "bigger" news is that Hillside is healthy, focused and intent enough to go through such a transition with Tim, Connie and the rest of the family still very much involved in our life together. We'll continue to make use of Tim's obvious gift for teaching - just on a less regular basis and in a variety of different formats; in fact, at the moment, Tim is putting the wheels in motion for a mid-week series sometime in the fall.
We've posted the full audio from Sunday's announcement below and would encourage all those not with us to hear it originally to give it a listen today.

We'd also like to invite everyone at Hillside to join us on Tuesday March 9th from 7 to 8:30pm for an opportunity to discuss things further with the leadership team.
If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to talk to any of the elders or staff or email us via elders at hillsidelondon dot com.
Thank you from Haiti
Richard and Arron have returned from their trip to Haiti where the combined love of Hillside, Newheart Church, and a number of individuals has brought emergency food and hope for the future to a community we are in the process of deepening a relationship with.
If they're not too jet-lagged we're hoping to have Richard and Arron share a bit of their journey this Sunday, but for now here's some initial thoughts from Richard:
"Let me first say that relationship is one of the strongest forces in the world. Nothing that we accomplished today could have been done without all of you, without Cris, Ivan, and Felipé traveling with us from the DR, and without their relationships with members of immigration. Every step of this journey – that was only conceived 6 days ago – has resulted from relationship.
Second, nothing conquers love and love conquers all. Your love for the people of Haiti; your love and support of me and my family; the way Thimothee and Nahum love the people of Gilbert-Mirebalais; the incredible love we have experienced in the care of Dominican friends; and the belief that I have that love travels to the extent that it can because if we love one another the world will not stay broken… experienced so vividly today I find myself truly overwhelmed.
More than 18,000 lb of food delivered and more than 13,000 multivitamins not to mention various medications and a couple of tents… delivered to care for more than 3500 people in 600+ families. You have brought hope, love, and life to save and sustain them for at least the next four weeks.
You did this. You did it because you believe the world does not have to stay broken and because you believe that love overcomes obstacles. I am grateful to have each of you as partners…"

Thanks to the all señors and señoritas who showed up early to prep the food and stayed behind late to clean things up - last Sunday's Taco Lunch wouldn't have been possible without you!
