News From the Pittsburgh Presbytery
Vital congregations bringing people to Christ

Newly Created “Let’s Get Connected” Web Page for All Churches
Recently we created a page on the presbytery website titled “Let’s Get Connected” hoping that, through this service, churches will list their gifts and their needs, that congregations in Pittsburgh Presbytery will find opportunities to serve and be served -- that they will connect with one another and together conquer challenges, share in another's experiences and give or receive the blessing of laboring alongside their brothers and sisters in Christ. The first request was received from Forest Hills Presbyterian Church for help with website development.  Click here to view the details.

Still Time to Sign Up for Pittsburgh Presbytery Night Pirate Game & Choir
Time is running out to purchase tickets for the Pittsburgh Presbytery Night at the Pirate game against the Washington Nationals on Friday, July 31!  Tickets must be ordered directly from the Pirates — a portion of the sales will go to support the mission of the presbytery.  All fans will receive a Pirates floppy fishing cap, it is dollar dog night and the church with the largest group attending will be recognized at the game.  Remember to invite your family and friends and consider making this an all-church fellowship or youth group event!  Click here for a flyer with details and ticket information.

Caring for Children, Caring for Creation -- a DVD Resource for Congregations
The National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Programs is offering a DVD resource, “Caring for Children, Caring for Creation,” for use as an adult education session in your church.  The video provides a compelling basis for a conversation about creation care as it relates to our love of our children.  If participants are so moved, they can sign on to the Christian Principles for a Healthy Body and Spirit   Click here for more details.
