Learning Maverick's Lesson - Full Service - July 9, 2023

<p>Many of you Hillsiders are new, just starting your life in the church (for which every legacy Hillsider is beyond happy!). Compared to quite a few of our Hillside brothers and sisters who measure their involvement in the church in decades, I (Dan) am a newbie like you, having just been at Hillside for 29 months. I remember at first how odd it was to get to the Hillside campus from Olympic Blvd. (maybe you can relate!). I couldn&#39;t believe the only way up to the church campus was through downtown. I also remember the drive home after moving into my office at Hillside. I was surprised when Google Maps told me to turn left at Newell after punching in my Pleasant Hill address. I barked at the phone: &quot;That can’t be right. I&#39;ve got to get back to the freeway. That’s how I got here.” Well, after a few weeks and a few unnecessary miles, I realized that Google Maps was right. The shortest route home was not the same as the shortest route to church. That&#39;s a picture of John&#39;s &quot;driving directions&quot; to the peaceful &quot;land&quot; of judgment day assurance. They&#39;re not what we expect, but they get us to our destination. If you&#39;re back home after your trip to Yellowstone or Yosemite, I hope you&#39;ll join us in person on the hill at either 9:00 or 11:00 AM. That&#39;s right, we&#39;re back to two services! I also hope you&#39;ll invite a friend. Can&#39;t wait to see you.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Worship with Hillside Covenant Church as Dan Seitz teaches from I John 4:13-21.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To view or download a copy of this week’s sermon notes follow this link: http://u.pc.cd/a3GctalK</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you are new to Hillside and are looking for ways to get connected and build community, visit our “Get Connected” page: https://hillsidecovenant.churchcenter.com/pages/get-connected We welcome you to Hillside and are so glad you joined us today!</p> <p><br></p> <p>To give in support of Hillside Covenant and its ministries follow this link: https://hillsidecovenant.churchcenter.com</p>
