Sunday Morning Worship - Feel the Love
Sunday Morning Worship - Feel the Love
October 2, 2022 10:30 am - 11:30 am
#Adulting is the art of growing up, not just growing old.
Whether you’re new to adulting or have been working at it for decades, this four-week series will challenge you to rise to the occasion of growing into the kind of person that God wants you to be. Drawing from the pithy wisdom of the Book of Proverbs, we’ll talk about priorities, we’ll talk about caring for others and ourselves, and we’ll talk about planning for the future.
In the end, we’ll not just have grown older together, but wiser too. We hope you can join us.
~~~~~
Sanctuary and Hillside worship together every Sunday. You are welcome to attend the service in-person @ Hillside Community Church provided you are vaccinated and masked, or online via the AltarLive Interface or facebook live.

SoulCollage® Mini-Retreat w/Suzanne O'Neil, certified facilitator
SoulCollage® Mini-Retreat w/Suzanne O'Neil, certified facilitator
October 15, 2022 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
SoulCollage® is an expressive arts practice done individually or in community. Founded by Seena B. Frost, the method develops creativity and intuition, encourages self-discovery, and provides personal guidance.
SoulCollage® meets you wherever you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to make SoulCollage® cards. Anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.
About this Workshop/Mini-Retreat with certified SoulCollage® facilitator Suzanne O'Neil
With guided meditation, dreamy music, and delicious snacks, we will spend time in luxurious card-making during this mini-retreat. Come play, explore, and relax in a safe space with like-hearted souls and learn more about Council, Committee, Community, and Companion cards.
$35/per person; includes Mat boards, scissors, glue, images, snack, tea, water. You are welcome to bring images if you have any you would like to use (this is optional). Space is limited to 12.
Registration: Click Here for secure Registration and Payment
More about SoulCollage®
SoulCollage® is an easy, enjoyable, intuitive collage process for self-discovery and community. People make their own decks of collaged cards for their personal use from found images.
The SoulCollage® method helps people discover their unique inner/outer guides and challengers, and access their own wisdom to answer their life questions. SoulCollage® is a method used in many contexts and applications.
We who are attracted to SoulCollage® are evolving. We’re creative, self-reflective, and eager to discover and balance the many parts of ourselves. We each want to be able to be the best version of ourselves we can be and contribute our gifts to others.
We are challenged, we struggle, but we always return to our basic willingness to look at what is so, to listen and to change. From that ever-evolving, empowered place of wholeness, we cannot help but contribute to and affect our worlds—our friends and families, our communities, and our fields of interest.
SoulCollage® cards are made with the simplest of tools - magazine images, scissor, mat boards and a glue stick (all provided).

October 16, 2022 10:30 am - 11:30 am
The Liturgy of Politics: This four-week series, explores the way faith shapes a holistic life for the people of God. We are all shaped by the political forces in our lives and we need the habits and practice of faith and community to balance those forces. The church has powerful resources—corporate worship, Scripture, personal spiritual disciplines, and historic practices—for addressing the power of political (and cultural) idolatry. Negotiating a faithful and loving way forward in our politics may not require an entirely new strategy but a return to the historic practices of the global church.

Our Whole Lives (OWL) Gr. 8/9 Program
For details, full schedule, and registration
Sanctuary UCC and Hillside Community Church are proud to offer to the wider community Our Whole Lives (OWL), a comprehensive sexuality education class for 8th and 9th graders. The program equips teens of all genders with accurate, age-appropriate information and skills to help them lead sexually healthy, positive, and responsible lives. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, OWL addresses a wide range of topics including body image, relationships, social media/internet, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexually transmitted infections, contraceptives, pornography, and cultural influences on sexuality.
OWL is secular in content and contains no religious doctrine*.
