Billy The Bunny!

Holy Week is a week like no other in the church. And not just because it can drive a guy like Billy to hop around in a bunny outfit for the benefit of some candy-craving youngsters. When you really think about it though, Billy’s eagerness to put a smile on those children’s faces, as well as the willingness of all of you to help make the Children’s Easter Party a success, is a living picture of the spirit of Easter. 

Bunny suits don’t appear to have a strong biblical foundation, but the act of dressing up in a skin that is not one’s own, leaving the comforts of normalcy and entering an unfamiliar world, and offering the inhabitants of that world a free, sweet gift is in a loose sense what Jesus did for us.

Jesus, who was fully and undeniably God, became fully and undeniably human. He entered an unfamiliar world, our own, and lived among us. He offered us the greatest gift of all with his life, dying so that we could be forgiven of our sins and invited into eternal life with Him. And that gift is sweeter than a family pack of Reese’s Eggs.

Come celebrate that wonderful gift this week at The Hill. In addition to the usual Sunday Worship service, there are three other unique opportunities to celebrate the entire Easter story:

- Maundy Thursday Service – April 9 – 6:30 PM – Communion is an intimate time of fellowship with the family of believers, and this service offers a reflection on Jesus’s Last Supper with his disciples hours before he was hung on the cross. Come and reflect on what his body broken for us truly means.

- Good Friday Service – April 10 – 7:30 PM – Why is the day when our savior died deemed a “Good” Friday? Join us at this service to gain a deeper understanding of why we celebrate the cross and the amazing work Jesus accomplished upon it. 

- Sunrise Service – April 12 – 7:00 AM – Ring in the new day figuratively and literally as we bask in the rising sun and the risen Son. It’s important during Easter Week to remember the cross and the crown of thorns but we must also take heart in the glorious crown Jesus wears as our resurrected savior. Wake up a couple hours earlier and take a nap when you get home since there won’t be Sunday Night Bible Study. It’ll be worth it. 

Join us for all three services during this week like no other as rejoice in the fact that we have a Savior like no other!
