Hillside Community Church

Davis Square Outreach
2025-08-02 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Hillside Community Church, 144 North Street, Medford, MA, 02155, United States
Join us for our weekly Street Outreach in Davis Square, where we offer socks, snacks, and solidarity to our unhoused neighbors. It’s a small gesture—walking the streets, offering what we can with dignity and warmth—but it makes a real difference.
We’ll meet at 12:00 PM in front of the Davis Square T Station on Holland Street. Before we head out, Rev. Tom will offer a brief introduction to the work—what we’re doing, why it matters, and how to go about it with care. Then we’ll walk a loop through the neighborhood, finishing up by 1:00 or 1:30. No experience needed. Just bring good shoes, a compassionate heart, and a willingness to show up.

Grab a Bite. Meet Some People.
After worship, hang out for a low-key coffee hour — a chance to share some snacks, sip something warm, and have real conversation with folks you might not have met yet. No pressure, no small talk required (unless you’re into that).
Want to help make it happen? Sign up here to bring snacks, make coffee, or help with cleanup. It’s a simple way to pitch in — and a great excuse to connect.

Expect thoughtful messages, good music, real talk, and a community that actually cares. We blend old and new – ancient wisdom and modern vibes – in a laid-back, come-as-you-are environment. Bring your doubts. Bring your coffee. Bring your whole self.

Community Meal: BBQ
2025-09-14 11:30 - 13:00 | Hillside Community Church, 144 North Street, Medford, MA, 02155, United States
We’re rounding off Rally Sunday with a backyard BBQ feast on the church patio! After worship, head out back where tables will be set and the spread will be waiting. Bring your BBQ best—ribs, brisket, pulled pork, grilled veggies—or one of the classic sides that make a cookout complete: coleslaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, potato salad, cornbread, you name it. Just make sure your dish is ready to serve so we can all dig in together.
And vegetarians, we haven’t forgotten you—grilled corn, smoky tofu, or that mysterious-but-delicious quinoa salad are all welcome additions to the table.
It’s going to be a lighthearted, laughter-filled afternoon of food and fellowship as we kick off the new church year. Bring your favorite dish, grab a seat, and let’s celebrate Rally Sunday with a feast on the patio!
Let us know what you can bring:
