Sunday, January 19, after Worship

This Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, let’s come together to honor Dr. King’s legacy by serving others and spreading love in our community. On Sunday, we have meaningful service projects for all ages and abilities—perfect for families, friends, and individuals who want to make a difference.

Here’s how you can help:

✨ Build Hope: Join us in assembling tables and drawer units for New Life Furniture Bank to support those transitioning to stable housing.

✨ Bake Love: Bake delicious cookies for our food pantry guests and first responders as a gesture of gratitude and care.

✨ Share Joy: Craft valentines and notes for our elderly neighbors to brighten their day and remind them they are loved.

✨ Support Animals: Bring new towels and fleece blankets for the animal shelter, helping to keep our furry friends safe and warm.

Dr. King said, “Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve.” Let’s live out that vision by coming together as a community of compassion, service, and love.

Join us this Sunday to make a tangible impact. Together, we can build a better, brighter world—one act of kindness at a time. Drop in after worship.

 

Habitat for Humanity’s Operation Playhouse Program
Saturday, January 20, 2025, 8 am-4 pm

The Hills Church Habitat team has volunteered to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s (HFH) Operation Playhouse Program on MLK Day, January 20, 2025. Habitat’s Operation Playhouse is a unique and popular program that builds and donates custom playhouses to the children of veterans and military families. Habitat’s Metro West Greater Worcester chapter is one of a few Habitat organizations in the United States that offers Operation Playhouse program. Our participation in this program will further strengthen Habitat’s mission of building communities and hope by providing a veteran family with with their own special space to bond, play, and dream.

We will build a Gingerbread house themed playhouse right here at church (Wallace Chapel). We will design and paint the playhouse according to our own spin in Gingerbread houses. We need volunteers to design, construct and paint this fun house. No experience required.

The work will start at 8am and end by 4:30pm. Breakfast and lunch will be provided to the team. We shall have fun working together to create this inspiring gift and donate it to a veteran family at the end of the workday. Please come and join us to serve our veteran neighbor with compassion and love. You can sign up to volunteer via
