WorshipAt Hillside UMC, worship is our time of coming together, growing closer to God, and celebrating our community.
Normally, we worship on Sunday mornings at 9:00am, followed by a time of fellowship. But, in this very challenging season, we worship God individually with a guidance of online bulletin. I hope and pray that each of you have your own Active worship to God wherever you are. |

It is difficult in this moment not to be near some of the people we love and might be worried about.
Take a moment and say out loud the names of people you wish were right there next to you at your table today.
As we name them, they are present with us in our hearts.
We also want to call to mind, the people we cannot name, whose names we do not know. But we know they need our prayers and God’s comfort.
For those who have lost loved ones
For those who are sick and recovering
For those who are caring for loved ones who are sick at home
For those who are caring for persons in medical care
For those who are separated from loved ones
For those who are feeling alone and isolated
For those who are helping and are so very tired
For those who are struggling to find friends, food, and comfort
For those who are afraid

Closing Hymn / UMH #675 "As the Sun Doth Daily Rise"
Benediction
(based on Psalm 16)
As we close this time together, remember:
God is always with you. No matter what you face,
no matter what trials or hardships come your way,
God is right beside you, whispering “Peace be with you,”
guiding and directing your path.
So do not live in fear, but in joy.
Take heart! This is the heart of the matter.
Amen.
