Easter Sunday
Come celebrate Easter at Hillsdale UCC with a special joint service in English and Marshallese!

After the service there will be a potluck and an Easter egg hunt. It’s sure to be a joyous morning!

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.

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.

Climate Café All Generations Pop Up
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.
To RSVP and/or volunteer, please send an email.
