WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Ruth: Redeeming Love

A famine leaves a foreign widow named Ruth with nothing but an aging mother in law and a refusal to walk away. What follows is small and slow, yet by the end it has redrawn a family and bent the course of history. That’s the gift of Ruth: it insists God’s redemption usually arrives not in the spectacular but in the ordinary, in quiet choices to stay, to act with integrity, to be generous when no one’s watching. This summer, come ask what the book is asking us. How might God already be at work in the unremarkable corners of our lives?

Rev. Tom Hathaway - January 4, 2026

Rightly Placed

We live under a sky so vast it can make human life feel either inflated or insignificant. This sermon lingers in that tension. Drawing on breathtaking images of the universe and the ancient poetry of Psalm 8, it explores how awe can lead not to despair or ego, but to orientation. We are not the center of creation, and we are not an accident either. Instead, we are small, placed, and entrusted with care for the corner of the world within our reach. It’s a message about wonder, responsibility, and finding our footing beneath a very big sky.

Scripture References: Psalms 8:1-9

OUR VISION

Grounded in Love

In a time of increasing partisanship and division, Hillside Community Church boldly imagines a world in which people of every race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, gender expression, and sexual orientation can come together to meet, talk, listen, share, explore, and grow in love.

Each week, through worship that draws on the deepest insights of the Christian scriptures and through active programs of community service and outreach, the Hillside community works to build just such a world.

If you are looking to be part of an action-oriented, love-centered Christian community, we’d love to have you join us!
