WHY HILLSIDE?
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Summer in the Psalms

The Psalms have been the church’s prayer book for three thousand years, and they got the job by refusing to pretend. Over four Sundays we’ll pray four very different psalms: awe under a sky too big for us, trust through the dark valley, thanksgiving for what we barely survived, and, yes, one Sunday of raw rage, because the Psalms give us permission to bring God even the prayers we’re ashamed of. Come pray the whole range with us.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - September 21, 2025

Holy Inefficiency

What if the very things we call wasteful—time spent, energy “lost,” love poured out without return—are the things that change lives? From Mark Twain’s messy genius to Jane Jacobs’ thriving city blocks to Jesus’ strange story of a shepherd who risks ninety-nine sheep for one, this sermon explores how inefficiency is not a flaw but the very soil where creativity, community, and the kingdom of God take root.

Scripture References: Luke 15:1-7
