About the Event
This is the FINAL event for 2024, and the best way to celebrate Christmas with friends!
🛠️ Gingerbread Building Competition: Team up and let your creativity run wild as you construct the most impressive (or hilariously disastrous) gingerbread masterpiece of the night.
🎁 White Elephant Gift Exchange: Bring a wrapped gift ($10 limit) for a game of swapping, stealing, and surprises. ***These are not supposed to be good gifts... they are also not supposed to be trash. It's a balance of weird, random, and kinda useless (but still kinda useful. 😉) ***
Who knows? You might leave with a treasure—or a dud!
👕 Ugly Sweater Contest: Dust off your most hideous holiday sweater. The uglier, the better! There will be a prize for the ugliest! ...(Just to clarify: The sweater, not the person wearing it🤦🏻♂️.)
🍪 Foods: Come hungry because we'll be having pizza!
📖 Devotional: We'll reflect on a devotional from God’s Word, followed by meaningful small group discussions.
What to Bring
A wrapped gift for the White Elephant Gift Exchange ($10 limit)

What is Hillside All About?
The mission of every Hillside event is to create opportunities for intersections and meaningful conversations with other young people.
Hillside is a great way to make some new friends or do something fun with your current friends. It is a great opportunity to grow and be challenged to become more like Jesus.
We always have an activity & then a devotional and discussion time. During the devotional time, we'll share truths from the Bible, and focus on how we can apply them to our everyday lives. Afterward, we split up into small groups and discuss some conversation questions about the devotional topic. This is a great opportunity to learn, share, and encourage our peers as we are striving to live more like Christ daily—not alone, but together.
If you've never been to a Hillside event, you are always welcome. We would love to have you join our community!
