Worship Service

The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.  Proverbs 14:16 (New Living Translation )

Today, the session of Hillside Presbyterian Church voted to set June 7, 2020 as the most likely date for our first worship service in the sanctuary. It is a first Sunday and prayerfully we will be able to receive the Lord's Supper and welcome seven new members. Session will let members know if God (and the CDC) determine the opening should be before - or after - that date. Your ongoing prayers and patience are appreciated. Abundant blessings, Rev. Sylvia Wilson

Church Office Hours
