This weekend I was blessed to be able to attend Hilltop Community Church in Richmond, CA. The service was a dual gift from The Pastor and his wife and it included a performance by the cutest children ever! So, you know I was happy! They offer a dynamic Woman's Ministry that, God willing, will be reading No One is Coming to the Rescue soon! What I thought was fascinating was the fact that here was this beautiful remodeled facility full of talented gifted speakers/teachers that I'm sure most of the community has never even stepped foot into to experience. There is so much crime in Richmond, we know this because it is highlighted on the news daily, but here is this immaculate place doing exceptional work for the community and no one hears about it. That will change soon starting with me... More people of this community deserve to be a part of this church.
Aside from my declaration of change, check this out, one example of their forward thinking in action: the church provided buses that night and they took all of the youth to a christian rap concert featuring one of the most popular artists named Lecrae. He is the leader of the genre because unlike other artists his sound, lyrics, and beats sound like other popular artists such as 50 cent. As a result Lecrae's music has stayed in the number1 spot for longer than any other rapper in his genre. The kids were juiced and all the parents had to do i
s get them to the bus and pick them back up later that night. These are the type of activities that need to be publicized heavily in the media! The church is making it a priority to relate to the youth by setting up late night entertainment while still providing and protecting them. Great job...check out this video link.Lecrae Story from Adamson.TV on Vimeo.
Lastly, I have to say thank you to the pastors wife for her words during service and her work at the church. She is an inspiration! She loves "No One is Coming to the Rescue", and I look forward to collaborating with her in the near future.
