Get together with a family or two, and sign up to spend a Friday night with us on our front porch. I mean, what cooler way to spend a Friday night than with the Pastor and her family?!

Pastor Hannah and Todd are pleased to announce the arrival of their son, Lincoln Todd Loughman. Lincoln was born yesterday weighing 9 pounds, 3 ounces and was 21 1/2" long.

Sunset Prayers for June

Sunset Prayers for June

Our sunset prayers for June will be lifted with Pastor Russel in mind. His influence will be inescapable. At sunset on June 7, at about 8:48 p.m., from wherever you are, inviting anyone who is with you, let’s pause and pray together for inclusiveness.

Time to “Redd Up” the Parsonage

Time to “Redd Up” the Parsonage

We need your help! We have roughly 4 weeks before our new pastor will be moving in with her family on June 15, which is 2 weeks early. A few trustees have begun work on the parsonage. Part of that work has been preparation for more people to come and do work, such as repairing cracks in walls before painting and removal of wallpaper. There is a lot to do, and we would appreciate your help. I would like to stress that you don’t have to commit to a huge block of time—you can come for an hour or two or do one task and leave. There are jobs that you do not need to be skilled in, we just need your elbow grease. Thank you in advance for all that you can do to help. It is greatly appreciated!

If you are able to help, contact Jenine Furry via text or call at 412-855-5348.

Pastor Russel’s part-time appointment

Pastor Russel’s part-time appointment

Pastor Russel, as well as other retiring pastors, was offered the opportunity to serve part-time in retirement. Pastor Russel accepted the offer and has been appointed by Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi to serve as Senior Pastor of Mifflin Avenue and South Avenue United Methodist Churches in Wilkinsburg effective July 1. After being blessed by Pastor Russel for 14 years, we know these two churches will be equally blessed to have such a gifted, eloquent, dedicated, and selfless pastor.
