Still others meandered somewhere between abandonment and obedience.One of Jesus' very own disciples wasn't immune to shaken faith.John 20:2425 – One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, 'We have seen the Lord!' But he replied, 'I won't believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.' (NLT)Thankfully, God doesn't discard me as unworthy to be His child when my faith is temporarily shaken. Jesus eventually revealed what Thomas requested. Having created me and taken on human flesh Himself, God understands my weaknesses and how easy it is for doubts and misgivings to unsettle me. Since faith in the spiritual excludes the tangible, it's even easier for my faith to be dazed during turbulent times.Reemphasizing my faith in times of senseless tragedies and extreme hardship makes it stronger than it was previously. I'm able to take this step because I'm convinced that God has my best interests at heart.

Hillcrest congregation was created in 1971 with the amalgamation of Valleyfield, Lower Montague and Trinity, Montague Churches. The Valleyfield congregation dates back to 1843 when a Free Church of Scotland was established, later to become a Presbyterian Church, and in 1925 to become part of the United Church of Canada. This was a very active Church from which other Churches in the area grow. A highlight of its Church year was the 'long communion', with services from Thursday until Monday every July. Another unique feature of worship in Valleyfield was that service were bilingual until 1936, one service being in English followed by a service in Gaelic. The Church you are now in was built and dedicated in Valleyfield in 1909 at a cost of less than $5,000.
We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments in their original texts, are fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error, and are the final authority for the Church.
