This Sunday

“Mothers: A Beautiful Force of Nature”   

livestreamed at 10:30 am

So, which is it?  Can we blame our parent’s genes or the environment in which they raised us?    

Our Share the Plate recipient for May is Tree Pittsburgh. Tree Pittsburgh works across Allegheny County to plant and care for trees where they are needed.  As the impacts of climate change grow, we must help communities to be more resilient to heat and increased rainfall.  By planting trees, we provide cooling shade and capture stormwater runoff; we bring beauty and wildlife habitat to areas often dominated by concrete.  Donations to Tree Pittsburgh will directly impact communities with low tree canopy, supporting education programs, tree planting, and ongoing tree maintenance.  Tree Pittsburgh relies heavily on volunteer support, visit www.treepittsburgh.org to learn more.
See the Auction Booklet. The best fundraiser of the year is happening TOMORROW, Friday, May 10, at church, and you will not want to miss it! Don’t wake up with FOMO on Saturday morning. Join us tomorrow night to socialize with church friends and help raise money to care for our beautiful, historic building. From 6 – 7:30 PM, you will enjoy delicious appetizers, desserts, and a cash wine bar available, plus bid on 70+ silent auction items and take your chances at the paper bag raffle and 50/50 raffle! At 7:45 PM, the live auction starts with 20 fantastic experiences that you could win! Tickets are $10 per adult and may be purchased at the door (cash, check, credit accepted). Children are free, but please register them in advance, as childcare and dinner will be provided for them. If you’d like to contribute to the “Instant Wine Cellar” to be auctioned off during the live auction please bring a bottle of wine! For questions or more information, contact Heather Masterson (hamasterson@gmail.com). See you Friday!
