You Can Give a Student a Life-Changing Experience

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

The number of young people from our congregation who have gone on to be ministers, seminarians, youth workers, church musicians, bulletin editors or deeply-involved leaders is astonishing. Almost all of them will tell you of a retreat experience that shaped their faith and the direction of their lives.

The fall retreats at Laurelville and Jumonville are coming up. The cost of these retreats will average about $130 per student. Unfortunately, some parents just cannot afford to send their children. The congregation’s Youth Ministry never wants to turn a kid away from a life changing experience. If you want to invest in the future and are able to scholarship or partially scholarship a student  this year please contact Debbie Tobias at (412) 655-2000 ext 131.

Interfaith Hospitality Network Comes to PHCPC

Being an IHN host congregation allows us to live out the message of the Gospel and call of Jesus to ministry:

“…for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…Truly, I tell you, as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” (Matt. 25:35,40)

Use the Worship and Activities Center Entrance After 4:30 pm

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

The Trustees have decided for purposes of building security that beginning June 1st entry doors around the building will be open from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm only. After 4:30 p.m., only the double glass main doors (off the upper parking lot) into the Worship and Activities Center will be open until 10 p.m. when the entire building is locked for the night. Groups and individuals using the building in the evenings should take note of this and share this information with others. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
