As one year ends and another begins, we reflect on the tension between endings and beginnings. Christ’s birth brought renewal into a chaotic world, while Mary, surrounded by uncertainty, trusted in a God making all things new. This season invites us to find steady ground in words of blessing – words that guide us forward. Through timeless scriptures, often heard in sacred rituals like weddings and baptisms, we’ll explore lessons of belovedness, hope, and starting anew. Whatever lies ahead, love remains our foundation and our beginning.

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!
