WHY HILLSIDE?
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 - August 30, 2026

Thanks for the Fleas

Psalm 22 opens with "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" — and somehow still finds its way to praise. Not despite the forsakenness, but from inside it. This sermon puts that psalm next to Corrie and Betsie ten Boom's story and asks what gratitude actually is when it's not optimism and it's not just obedience. Sometimes thanksgiving is resistance: a refusal to let suffering write the whole story.
