email and Hillcrest

I have a new email at home. It is jsbrinkman@att.net we changed providers for cost and service reasons and so far it has turned out to be a good decision. Sorry to those of you who did not know about this. Email at church remains jeffb@woodschapelchurch.org

Also, you may need to know that if you have swbell or one other email suffix which I cannot remember, you are currently not receiving email from the church. The church sends a bulk email every week to several thousand recipients. Every now and then, this causes one of the providers to treat us like spammers. We are not spammers!! If you have not received an email from church for a while, or if you sent something to a staff member and did not get a response, you may want to make a call. These are difficult problems to solve, but your fine WCC i.t. people are working on it.

Now for some good news:

Hillcrest transitional housing. A metro area ministry that provides short term housing for people that want to get back on their feet. If you have a job of any kind and will agree to the program, you have a place to live for free for six weeks. During that time they teach you how to budget, how to take care of yourself, and how to make better decisions. They help you pay your debts and get you ready to move into an apartment.

Hillcrest is a pretty "pure" operation. It is hard to find anything to complain about or be suspicious of. It is operated and supported by super people. I ran into one of their saints last night. They expect the people that they help to take the program seriously. They have a good track record. The testimonies of Hillcrest graduates will touch you. They are making a difference in the community, one person at a time.

In a world that is changing, that is providing more fear than security, thank God for places like Hillcrest.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
