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 - 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.

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!
