What a fast and furious month of June! Hillside church spent the first week of the month putting on block parties at our 4 biggest communities (Cathy’s Pointe, Cypress Creek, Amarillo Garden, and High Plains Ranch), complete with hotdogs, bounce houses, police officer visits, and water balloons. The youth group from the Fellowship of Huntsville …
Summer is here, so that means it’s time to look back at the last month of the school year. It was hot and windy almost all month long, but we had fun anyway – even on the properties where we to meet outside! Of course, the kids are sure ready for water balloons to cool …
We’re finding that adding 2 new locations – which both have A LOT of kids – has added new challenges and new costs, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. In the midst of working on our Feed, Clothe, Love and Lift fundraiser, we had a whole lot of fun in April. We heard …
We navigated a month of crazy weather – along with Spring Break – to have a great month of March! We started work on our 9th property, Amarillo Garden Community, and it’s been a huge success. We have around 20 kids coming out each Wednesday, and they are a whole lot of fun. The Children’s …

We had some beautiful weather in October, which allowed us to get outside, play, and run off that after-school energy each day. We’ve continued looking at the life of David and all it teaches us about joy, sadness, forgiveness, fear, and so much else that applies to kids today. We also had the chance to …
