2019 Stewardship Campaign The theme of the 2019 Stewardship Campaign is “Generous Giving based on God's Grace.”   As we launch our stewardship effort please prayerfully consider the many blessings God has given you. We believe God has a purpose and a mission for Hillside if we heed his call to serve. Text Link

Let each of us use this Stewardship season to reflect on our personal faith journey, and decide to point our life closer to God. Committing your time, talents, and worldly treasures to God is a powerful way to do that!  Additional information as well as the Pledge Card, Time and Talent form and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document are available on the church website:   www.hillsidepresbyterian.org  ..  Join us in worship on November 11, 20 18 as we confidently dedicate our time, talents, and treasure to celebrate God’s abundance and blessings. Administration Ministry

Rev. Sylvia Wilson is Hillside's New Part-time Contract Call Pastor!

Rev. Sylvia Wilson has agreed to join the Hillside Presbyterian Church family and assume additional worship and leadership responsibilities as our part-time Contract Call Pastor. She has been our Pulpit Supply Pastor for several weeks, while waiting for God to reveal her next local, national or international “adventure.” Apparently, God wants that adventure to be at Hillside! Pastor Sylvia, as she prefers to be called, began her new role as our Contract Call Pastor on October 29, 2018. Most of her time will be focused in three critical areas identified in Session’s retreat in May 2018 and the Town Hall meeting in June 2018. They are: Worship Leadership, and Community Involvement. Pastoral care will still be provided by Reverends Simmers, Cole, and Howell. The Session will diligently work to secure a full-time Installed Pastor.   Administration Ministry
