to Book Club.

Blue Bins - Thank you to everyone who stepped up to do the bins in April
and May. We are also booking ahead for the months of June, July and
August. This is an important fundraiser for our church and many hands
make light
work. If you have students that require community service hours, this
does count and we are happy to sign the required paperwork.
If you would like to help but maybe don’t have a vehicle, that’s ok! We
have people with vehicles who could use an extra pair of hands.
If you are able to help, please contact Marg (ma...@theedge.ca,
867-444-8362).

Note from Stewardship: If you are interested in changing your
Pre-authorized Remittance (PAR), please contact the church office for
your individual PAR number before emailing p...@united-church.ca.

Mission and Service Story:
Steady Presence on the Northern Landscape:

In Fort Nelson, BC, where the landscape is vast and the seasons are
bold, Hillcrest United Church has been a vibrant presence for more than
60 years.

Rural ministry carries its own rhythm—shaped by distance, resilience,
and close-knit relationships. At Hillcrest, that spirit is tangible.
Worship blends cherished hymns with newer songs. Faith is lived not only
in the sanctuary, but in everyday acts of care and connection.

As a rural church, Hillcrest plays an essential role in community
life—offering pastoral presence, encouragement, and a welcoming space
where everyone belongs. Accessible and intentionally inclusive, it
reflects the strength and generosity that define rural communities
across Canada.

Hillcrest offers points of connection beyond Sunday services, inviting
the community to Christmas and Spring teas, garage sales, and events
peppered throughout the year.

Through Mission and Service, Hillcrest is part of a wider movement of
hope. From northern British Columbia, their generosity supports
ministries across the country and around the world—and they, too, are
strengthened by this shared experience.

Hillcrest reminds us that rural congregations are vital expressions of
faith—grounded, resilient, and forward-looking.

When we give to Mission and Service, we are standing with rural
communities like Hillcrest—sustaining ministry, nurturing connection,
and helping vibrant congregations continue to flourish in every part of
Canada.

Thank you
