Getting Ready For Easter

4/11/2017

Our annual migratory friends have returned this spring, just in time for Easter! We hope the baptistery is warm enough for them!

I actually like this sign of spring. The geese nest nearby and their presence is a reminder of the renewal that is coming to the earth this time of year. And that renewal reminds me of the promise of resurrection and new life that Easter brings.

"New life" can sometimes be a buzz phrase among Christians. Usually we mean it to suggest the way of life that was modeled by Jesus of Nazareth that Christians assume upon their belief and baptism. Easter is a perfect time to dedicate for the first time, or rededicate again your life to Jesus, his way of ministry and the gospel of Good News.

If if you want to learn more, please let's talk!
Prayers for the journey,

-Rev. Andy Beck

Gym Upgrades

Over the last few weeks we've seen a big transformation in our gym. What were once decades-old flooring and goals are now replaced with modern sports flooring and equipment. The open, exposed beam ceiling will soon hold new energy efficient LED fixtures.

Many thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers who made this happen. This project is part of our ongoing effort to make Hillside a space open and available to the community, as churches once were. Other projects are in the works, stay tuned for more updates!

Pre-Holy Week

Pastor's Perspective

As we come close to Palm Sunday and Holy Week, we're preparing our hearts and minds to once again recount the passion narrative of Christ's last week. We call it the passion narrative because it's the story of God's passion in loving the world, and recalls us to remember God's promise to save the world. We call it Holy Week because it enlivens in us the spirit and focus of our religious center - the death and resurrection of Jesus. And for Disciples of Christ congregations, the holy act of communion is specifically highlighted on Maundy Thursday.


Join us this Sunday as we welcome Jesus at the city gates, with palms and praise. And return again to the temple courts, the upper room and the garden tomb. We dip our bread in the cup, witness the arrest, deny knowing Jesus out of fear, and we weep at his cross. Join us also, as we rejoice in God's promise and faithfulness on Easter; for our salvation is secure in the empty tomb.


Be faithful, dear church, in God's good promise. And be excellent to each other!
