(TONIGHT!) Lent in Plain Sight:

For Busy Parents and Caregivers.

Busy parents and caregivers this gathering is for you! We will focus on themes from Jill Duffield’s book; Lent in Plain Sight. Together we will seek to carve out an hour a week for spiritual practice and renewal. Join Rev. Anne Marie in-person in the Wallace Chapel on Thursday evenings throughout Lent from 7:30-8:15pm for breath prayer, blessing and leave with a small loaf of freshly baked bread.

Email Rev. Anne Marie to receive a devotional and attend on any of the following Thursday nights: 3/24, 3/31.

Those interested can also sign up HERE.

If you haven’t read the book yet, consider reading it and then joining us on Zoom on Monday evening, March 28 at 7:30 pm for a conversation facilitated by Rev. Judy Swahnberg. 

If you would like to participate and get the link, email Rev. Judy

James Cone taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York over 4 decades.  He was the leader in Black Liberation Theology.  His first book was Black Theology and Black Power.  He has also written extensively about black spirituals and the blues.  In 2011, he published this painful yet hopeful book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree.  Painful, because the lynching tree symbolizes the violent racism that has terrorize the lives of African Americans in this country.  Hopeful, as the cross of Christian faith – the dominant faith of African Americans – is the symbol of violence transformed. 

This study continues on Wednesdays in Lent – March 30 and April 6 – at 7pm in the Reception Room. For more information, please speak with Jill Edens (jill@hillschurch.org) or Richard Edens (richard@hillschurch.org). The church office will have paperback copies available.

Annual Follow-Up Appeal 

Church Governance Information Table 

Don’t know the difference between a Support Board and a Ministry Team? Can’t name the church’s Visioning Hallmarks or say what they have to do with how the church works? Then here’s your chance to find out everything you always wanted to know about our church governance but were afraid to ask! Following up on the Annual Meeting and presentation on the Bylaws updates, members of the Strengthening Church Governance Implementation Task Force will be hosting an information table during Community Hour, April 3, to speak with church members and visitors about all of the above and more. Stop by, pick up a flier, and find out how our church works together as one body to fulfill Christ’s mission.    

Faith & Fun Ministry Team is excited to offer some in-person events that nourish the mind, body, and spirit! Below, find multiple opportunities to gather together in faithful fellowship and care!

There are still a few slots available for this Saturday 3/26 @ Walden Pond, plus April dates have been added. Sign up HERE

The Hills Church has started collecting gently used children’s books for the benefit of The Grow Clinic at Boston Medical Center. Books are given to children while receiving treatment and to the children’s siblings who often accompany them during these visits. Books are a blessing to these families, who welcome a diversion during a difficult time.

There are two collection bins at the church: one is in the stairwell to the Nursery School at the East Entrance and the other at the North Entrance near the coat racks. A third bin will be on the porch of Donna & Gary McCabe’s home at 124 Washington Street, Wellesley. Their house is just east of the church with a circular driveway and a large, covered porch. Donations will be taken until the end of March. Email Martha Stowell or Gary McGabe for more information!
