IS GOD REAL?
BY: ELIJAH BELL
***PLEASE CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE***
How did the universe get here? Did it spontaneously generate? Did it always exist? Or did a supernatural being create it? Which theory harmonizes with the evidence? Join us this Sunday morning at 10 AM for Bible class and worship. In the sermon, we'll look at 3 possibilities for how the universe got here, and ask "Is God Real?"

AGREEMENT FOR THE MINISTER OF THE HOLLY HILL CHURCH OF CHRIST
Holly Hill Family,
Approximately 6 months ago Jeff Jones and Robert Roach began working together on the Evangelistic Committee. Since then, the Committee has added three members: Tom Owens, Scott Trent, and David Jones. Perhaps one of the most important things we do is work closely with Elijah. Over the last few months Jeff and Robert reviewed Elijah's prior agreement, asked Elijah to write a job description that was reviewed and discussed, and then asked Elijah to write another job description. This final job description reflected a strong spirit of collaboration, with Elijah being the author and including suggestions made through various meetings. Minor modifications were made, and the document was sent to all members of the Evangelistic Committee for their final review. This was completed and then all five members and Elijah signed the agreement. We are attaching the job description as every person in this congregation needs to know the expectations for Elijah. We believe God is glorified in this agreement and that it will help advance and strengthen His kingdom through the Holly Hill congregation. If you have any questions, please see a member of the Evangelistic Committee. If anyone would like a paper copy, please contact Matthew Woodyard (office@hollyhillcoc.org) and he'll take care of it.

For the party, please bring three items (all three of the items being the same thing) of something that is your favorite. It can be anything, kitchen utensils, makeup, notebook, lotion, books, snacks, etc., and we will go around and tell each other why that item is one of our favorites. The price limit is a max of $30 for all three items combined. No need to wrap the gifts, because we will show everyone what we brought. After the party is done you will go around and take three different items home with you of your choosing out of something that someone else brought! This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow sisters in Christ better while having fun! We will be eating brunch foods, so please bring a yummy brunch type dish if you can. Hope to see you all there! Contact Katie Bell with any questions.
