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?

Chelsea Alexander - April 12, 2026

Deeds, Not Creeds

In this People's Sunday sermon, Hillside member Chelsea Alexander takes up the passage from James that asks a deceptively simple question: if faith doesn't show up in how you treat people, what exactly is it? Drawing on Martin Luther King Jr.'s writing about the gap between what we profess and what we practice, Chelsea argues that love isn't primarily a feeling or a belief — it's what you do when someone drops something, needs a seat on the T, or is standing outside in the cold. This is a sermon about the small, unglamorous actions that constitute a living faith, and why, especially right now, they matter more than we think.

Scripture References: James 2:14-26

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.
