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 - February 22, 2026

Behind the Headlines

In this sermon on Luke 10, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we look past the headline moment on the side of the road and follow the story one step further. The Samaritan gets the man to safety, but the innkeeper is the one who keeps him alive through the night. Alongside the Wright brothers’ first flight and their sister Katharine’s unseen labor that made it possible, this message reframes what it means to make a difference. Change does not run on a few visible heroes. It runs on many people, each carrying a necessary part. The question is not whether you can be the hero. The question is what role is already yours to play.

Scripture References: Luke 10:25-2537

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!
