Hey! This is Kate. My family and I are going to be walking to support services for people living with HIV/Aids. This is an issue close to my heart. We lost my uncle Kevin Johnson just months before the medicine was available that could have saved his life. He was 34. Now, science has delivered, and we need to make sure that every single person living with HIV/AIDS has access to the medicine and resources they need to live a full life.
We would love to have you walk with us- if you are interested click on the link, and sign up for team “Explorer’s Club”! Registration is free, and while they hope we will fundraise, it is not required.

Come celebrate Easter at Hillsdale UCC with a special joint service in English and Marshallese!
This year, Rev. JJ and Rev. Aimond of the Marshallese Ministry UCC congregation will be conducting a joint Easter service drawing on music and traditions from both Marshallese and Western cultures.
After the service there will be a potluck and an Easter egg hunt. It’s sure to be a joyous morning!
Attendees are asked to bring non-fragrant flowers for the Communion table, and to wear white clothing (it is customary for the Marshallese to wear white on Easter Sunday).
Join us in the Sanctuary and on Zoom.
Often a better future starts with imagining that it’s possible. This free workshop will empower you to do just that, and help free your creativity in the process. Make time to do some journaling the week before the workshop and write an intention about what you want to see ahead in the world, your life, or anything else. Your quiet time and journaling will reveal it to you.
To create your vision board, come anytime between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Apr. 8. The workshop will be in the Community Room.
If you plan to come, please send an RSVP here. Supplies will be provided, and you are also welcome to bring some of your own.
On the first Saturday of every month, nourish your soul with group chanting, drumming and toning. Join us in the Sanctuary (upstairs) at 4 p.m., and enjoy a potluck and time for fellowship after.
Please note: In January, we will be meeting on the 21st instead of the 7th.

Climate change is a heart-breaking reality that affects us all, regardless of our socio-economic background, spiritual beliefs, zip code, or any other identifier that divides us. We all share this planet, and we all have cause to grieve the great losses we are experiencing.
For their next shared meal, Climate Café has invited a group of community members to share their experiences of climate grief and hope for a better future. The program will feature music, poetry, and authentic sharing from these local artists, musicians, students, and entrepreneurs.
This pop up will provide a safe space for everyone who attends to explore these themes, over an earth-friendly, gourmet meal prepared with locally-sourced plant foods. This is an opportunity to investigate how climate change affects you, your loved ones, your community, and your world.
Come dig into it with us, and let's create a better future together.
All are welcome, regardless of spiritual beliefs or financial means. Donations are appreciated but not required. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
Red Cross blood drive at Hillsdale Community Church
Members and friends of Hillsdale UCC are invited to attend our Annual Meeting on Jan. 22. We will review and celebrate our successes in 2022, discuss what we have learned, and chart our course for the year ahead.
On Jan. 15 we will revisit the three options (as presented in 2022 at our annual Congregational Meeting) for the Future of Hillsdale Community Church. Our hope is that you hear the importance of this discussion and can come to the Annual Meeting on Jan. 22 with a greater understanding of what we face in our future.
