Dear Brothers and Sisters, Members and Friends of the Hill United Presbyterian Church:

As we approach the summer season, there is the opportunity to do some uncommon or “out-of-the-routine” events or experiences with family, friends and relatives.

Take advantage of this wonderful season of the year that God gives to us! As you do, please keep in mind that our Church does some different ministries, programming, and outreach during the summer also!

However, we also worship regularly every Saturday evening and Sunday morning. If you are not out of town, come and worship with us, inviting and bringing friends and loved ones as you have the opportunity.

As a Family of Faith, it is our desire to grow spiritually in our relationship with Jesus Christ, to grow numerically in the number of people who come to know Jesus Christ and to grow missionally in our outreach and ministries to others for Jesus Christ.

May the Grace, Mercy and Peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you during these summer months,

Pastor Clark
Rev. Clark Sawyer

FREE RICE? It sounds crazy! Encourage people to play an online vocabulary game and earn rice for hungry people around the world? But the U.N. World Food program maintains a website devoted to that goal. Here is what we found out when we checked out the FreeRice website.

Who pays for the donated rice?

The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We commend these companies for their participation at FreeRice.

If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
