Worship in the Sanctuary

"In-person" attendance at worship in the Sanctuary on July 11 & 18 is open to 50 worshipers. Worship on July 25 through the summer is open to 100 worshipers.

RESERVE your space at Sign Up Genius.

Printed Order of Worship

We are asking our families to take part in performing acts of kindness throughout the summer. The more people take the challenge the kinder, safer, and more engaged our world will become!

So, become a "kindness ambassador" by signing up to take the challenge and begin to observe the impact you make as the "ripple effect" spreads.

With your sign-up, you will receive an email with the kindness challenges for the next 6 Summer Sundays.

Summer Backyard Ministry

Our youth (in grades 6-12) are invited to participate in one of our Hills Church Backyard Ministry opportunities throughout the summer:

Join Rev. Anne Marie in handing out supplies and food to the homeless with the ministers of the Outdoor Church in Cambridge on Sundays in July and August (7/25 and 8/29). Email Rev. Anne Marie for more information!
Youth are invited to choose a date to care for the Vegetables in the Community Gardens by signing up HERE.
Find Instructions on care for our gardens HERE.
