Seven Hills will cover the cost of golf games. Please RSVP to Dave Van Norstrand, and reach out to him with any questions or if you need a ride!

*No Sunday Worship Service* - November 9
As many in our congregation will be attending our annual Fall Retreat from November 7-9, Seven Hills will not hold our regular Sunday worship service on November 9. We invite you to join us again the following Sunday –and every Sunday– at 10:30 a.m. as usual!
On 11/9, we encourage you to visit a neighboring church, such as Christ the King in Cambridge or City on a Hill Church in Somerville. You can also view past services on our website and YouTube channel.

Seven Hills Fall Retreat: “Loving Your Neighbor in 2025” - November 7-9, 2025 at Camp Brookwoods in Alton, NH
All are warmly invited to our annual all-ages church fall retreat! This year’s theme is “Loving Your Neighbor in 2025.” Jesus's command to "love your neighbor as yourself" has always been counter-cultural. But what does it look like in our time and place to love our brothers and sisters, love our neighborhood, love the stranger, and beyond? And where do we find the strength to love when it's difficult? Join us in listening to what God's Word says, discussing with others the way God is calling us to love in practice, and applying the timeless truths of the Gospel to our daily lives in 2025. Sign-up coming soon! Find out more on our Retreat page.

Time with SHPC Missionary Partner Oleg Reutki - Sunday, November 9, 4:30-6pm
Seven Hills is honored to partner with Pastor Oleg Reutki of New Hope Eurasia in the work of gospel ministry in Moldova, and throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Pastor Oleg will be visiting the Boston area November 7-9 only (the same timeframe as our retreat). Any and all ages are welcome to come to Hillside Community Space (324 Broadway) to hear more about their mission to spread the good news of Jesus to children and youth, care for Ukrainian refugees, and more. Snacks and soft drinks will be provided. For questions or to RSVP, contact Alison Ellison or Pastor Matt.

Seven Hills Discovery Lunch - Sunday, November 23 after church
Thinking about making Seven Hills your church home? Whether you're new here or have been attending for a while, join us for lunch after the service on Sunday, November 23 at our Hillside community space (324 Broadway, Somerville).

Friday Morning Prayer

Fridays, 6:30am-7:00 (Zoom link)

Seven Hills Church is committed to living out our devotion to God through the reality of prayer as we live in day-by-day dependence upon Him for all things. All are welcome any Friday to come pray together (in spirit, or aloud as you are comfortable) in response to Scripture, for our church, its impact in our city, and specific requests from our community. Please contact Matt Owens or Paige Van Norstrand anytime for prayer requests. Join us on Zoom starting 9/16: Friday Morning Prayer

Sunday Serving

Serving on Sundays can be a wonderful way not only to bless the church with your personal gifts and your time, but also to get to know others in our community! Our ministry teams are always seeking additional volunteers to help occasionally with Sunday worship services, in roles including Vocalists, Instrumentalists, Audio-visual Operators, Teachers, Classroom Assistants, Nursery Helpers, Set-up or Clean-up, Offering Ushers, Scripture Readers, and Liturgists. We welcome all levels and abilities, and experience is not necessary. To learn more about current volunteer needs in the church and consider ways you may be able to help, check out Serving in the Church or contact a team leader below.

• General Operations: Joseph Lam

• Children's Team: Christine Stone

• Music & AV Team: Jenn Hegerich

Join the Finance Team

The Seven Hills Finance Team is seeking 2-3 more people (especially women and newer members/attenders) to serve on the team this year. Contact Luke Stone, SHPC Treasurer, to learn more about what serving on this committee entails and find out how you can help!
