Worship Services

Regular Sunday Services

Join us for relaxed and inviting Sunday gatherings at 10:45 AM (10:00 AM July to August).

Hillhurst United offers a unique place to take the first step in a deeper exploration of faith and life issues. Our services are casual, energetic and inspiring.  The coffee's on before and during the service, so come as you are.

Lunch is normally served in the gym after the morning service.

Nursery care provided.

Free parking across the street in the school parking lot, and the school yard.

An audio archive of selected sermons can be found here.  


Fire and Grace Contemplative Service

Fire and Grace is an alternative gathering of people who share worship, silent prayer/meditation, study and companionship on the spiritual journey. Some members are brand new to the spiritual path; some have studied the Gospels or the teachings of Christian mystics and saints; some lean more toward Buddhist or Sufic teachings; while still others follow a more secular-spiritual path.  

Fire and Grace services are generally on Wednesday nights.  For more information, visit the Fire & Grace page.


Sunday School

Children 0-3 can remain with their parents in the service, or spend the entire service with our caregivers in the PLAY daycare. 

Children 4-12 start in the Sanctuary with their parents.  There is a Children's Time during the worship service, and then children are invited to attend age appropriate Sunday School Classes with our experienced Sunday School teachers.

Our curriculum teaches children the art of using religious language - parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action - helping them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.

Youth Church

Junior and senior high youth meet every other Sunday morning in the Library -  a space for young people to hang out with other kids and talk about issues of importance.  They will meet during church the first three Sundays  of the Month, and join the congregation on the fourth Sunday (when the band plays). The Leaders are Jordan Paton and Greg Powell.


Baptisms

Baptisms are held regularly, usually on the second Sunday in a month. Baptism is a sacred ritual of welcome, membership, thanksgiving and gratitude for the life of a person. It is a sacrament that connects us to the WAYS of Christ in our life. Baptism classes help you connect with the meaning of the vows.  They will be held on the Tuesday evening immediately prior to the Baptism date unless otherwise indicated. Baptism dates in 2009 are August 23, September 13 (full), October 11 (full), November 8, and December 13.

The congregation joyfully participates in this celebration and we delight in your choice of  Hillhurst United as the place to mark this occasion. We welcome people from any religious denomination or background to come and learn and decide what works best for you.
