Listening to our Hearts
May 22, 2024A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, I’ve been back from my renewal leave for six months this week, and I continue to feel the benefits of those four months away. Some of the gifts were expected — rest, time with family and friends, and a chance to travel were among the highlights. One of the greatest gifts, however, was entirely a surprise. The time away gave me time to LISTEN to what my heart truly desires. I’m…
Fill Your Cup
May 8, 2024A Note from David Bartholomew Dear Friends, So, you’re hoping to be in tune with today’s discipleship in a time when your views on social change can make or break nearly all sense of community? No matter what beat you’re marching to, we can all find common ground in the idea that we are here to do what He has called us to do. That is the very foundation of what led me to join the congregation officially…
Listening to our Hearts
January 3, 2024A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, 2023 was filled with life lessons. Some of these were lessons that I was focused on from the start of the year. I learned a lot about what it means to listen to my body and the valuable wisdom she brings. Renewal leave allowed me the space I needed to slow down and move at a pace that felt healthy and healing. (A lesson I’m still learning after coming back from…
Christmas Season
December 18, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, I’ve always loved the Christmas season. The magic of the season was present as a child and became even more joyful and real when I became a parent. The Christmas before Marcus was born, I was seven months pregnant on Christmas Eve and had a chance to tell the Christmas story to a group of children. I have never felt more connected to Mary and her experience than I did that…
Important News

Over her nine years as our spiritual leader, April has touched and blessed oh-so-many of us with her gifts and grace for ministry, her love for God and for each of us, her passion for justice, her commitment to diversity and accessibility, and her power of prayer. As you know, the United Methodist Church is…
Why Hilliard UMC Matters to Me
December 2, 2025A Note from Rachel Porrello Dear Friends, Hilliard United Methodist Church had made an impact on me even before I stepped through the door. Every time I rode the bus on the way to work and saw the reminder that “God loves you no matter what” accompanied by inclusive media, I felt a leaning in. I felt that the type of church HUMC appeared to be mattered — one where there were no obstacles to belonging based on…

What Is Godly Play? Godly Play is a Montessori-inspired approach to spiritual formation that invites children into the stories of our faith with imagination, play, and wonder.

Moving Forward Together
November 13, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, This past week as I was driving home with my youngest son, he opened a personality quiz on his phone and started asking me questions. He wanted to know, “Mom, how much do you know about ME?” While I like to think I know my son better than most, I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t score very high. I knew his favorite color, favorite food, and ideal vacation destination, but…
Questioning our Assumptions
October 29, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, I was only two months into my very first ministry job as a youth pastor when I was invited by the senior high youth to a “meeting.” When I walked into the room, six high school girls had set up a whiteboard and prepared a bit of a presentation for me. It was an intervention. They began with a short list of things they liked about me, their new youth pastor.…
