The musical group Hill City Slickers helped raise $2,300 for the Hill City Gathering Place, an ecumenical community center that provides meeting space for a variety of groups, both religious and secular, in the small Black Hills town of Hill City.

More than 90 people turned out for the fundraising supper and concert at High Country Ranch, blessing the Gathering Place with financial support that included three new monthly donors.

“We were able to show the current supporters and other interested persons more about what is going on at the center currently, as well as a vision for the future,” said Jack Jewett, co-coordinator.

Part of what’s “going on” at the historic railroad house-turned-community center is the “God Provides” film learning experience that begins Sunday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. The film series is six short , but theater-quality, epic films that provide a dramatic journey through biblical stories. The films, along with a printed companion guide, are a weekly guide, courtesy of Crown Ministries, in how to trust God to provide what we need, instead of looking to the world to meet our needs. Jewett invites people to come once, view a film and decide if the experience is for them.
