Sunday 13th April 2014 was a significant day for us at Hill City as we said goodbye to Pontypool Active Living Centre (PALC) as the venue for our Sunday gatherings. It’s fair to say that the last 10 months have been phenomenal for us as a church as we have grown in so many ways:
- Numerically (our congregation has almost doubled)
- Pastorally (with more saints than ever loving, serving and caring for one another)
- Missionally (through ministries such as CAP and Foodbank as well as through our gospel communities and personal evangelism)
- Theologically (the teaching at Hill City has gone from strength to strength, with the Colossians series especially impacting)
It seemed fitting to sign off at PALC by making the most of their pool facilities and baptising some of those who have come to faith in Jesus in the last few months, and what a celebration it was! As we look ahead to a new chapter in our new venue – Pontnewynydd Chapel – we hope and pray that it won’t be long until we’re back down PALC to baptise yet more trophies of grace!
Glory to God.
