                    Bethesda Center for the Homeless

3-D: Dessert, Devotion, Dialogue
Small groups bring dessert, a brief devotion (sharing a message of hope) and dialogue (prayer or time of sharing) to participating homeless men and women at Bethesda.  Hillsdale currently goes to the Bethesda center each month on the 3rd Sunday.  We meet at the church at 6:45 pm and leave at 7:00pm, usually returning by 9pm at the church.  Coordinating this ministry is Ricky Jones.  He can be reached at: forsyth1@windstream.net

Hillsdale collects items each month for the center.  Please check the basket in the lobby  often to see the current needs of the center and give generously!
