Sunday, July 5

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Interested members will be taking a field trip to the San Francisco church for their 11:00 worship service, followed by coffee hour.  Anyone who would like to join us, please let me know!     Linda

Our visit was wonderful — we were so warmly welcomed!  For me it was “old home week” and I loved being back in the sanctuary where I worshiped weekly for 15 years.  I look forward to having the San Francisco folks visit us!  Click on “1 comment” below to read Eileen’s impression of the day.

 

Also, the El Cerrito Fourth of July Festival was lots of fun!  We handed out flyers and talked to many people about Hillside.  The free lemonade was very popular.  Thank you Eileen, Carol Anne, Moose, Christina, Annamarie, Johnscot, Lesley, Kathy, Amy and Ishak for helping!

This will be our last Sunday worship service before the July Summer Recess!  Moose is our scheduled speaker.  Coffee hour will feature zip lock baggie omelets again!  After we eat, we will be squeezing lemons to make lemonade for our booth at the 4th of July Festival — please bring lemons if you have access to a tree.

What a great day!  After a “joyous” service led by Moose, we enjoyed zip lock baggie omelets around the kitchen table.  It was wonderful to have Helen back with us, and to meet Eileen’s son, who is visiting from Portland.  A small, dedicated crew juiced all six bags of lemons that had been brought in — thank you to the donors, and thank you to the squeezers!!

Welcome to Hillside Swedenborgian Community Church

The Universe is One Big Note

The Universe is One Big Note

Our worship leaders on Sunday, June 21 will be Amy and Ishak Kang.  The service and coffee hour will take place outside in the garden, so if it’s “foggish” bring a jacket.  Please join us at 10:30!  Sunday School and childcare are provided.
Message: The Universe is One Big Note.
All are welcome to join us in songs celebrating Father’s Day, Summer Solstice and New Church Day where we celebrate the publishing of True Christian Religion by Emanuel Swedenborg on June 19, 1770.

 The service was wonderful — blue sky, gentle breeze, sunshine, birds singing — and all of us singing “Here Comes The Sun” and “Sounds of Silence”!  Amy was a wonderful liturgist, and in addition to delivering an intriguing message, Ishak sang Bob Marley’s Redemption Song.  The music theme carried into the Sunday School, where Zander and Marley made maracas.  After the service, Eileen made a special presentation of blue ribbons to each person, to tell them that Who They Are Makes A Difference!    Click here for Who I Am - thank you, Eileen, for who you are!!
