Welcome to First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh

  • First Unitarian Church Morewood Ave.
This Sunday

“The Ever Changing Story”  

Livestreamed at 10:30

Theme of the Month is World of Religion, sources for the best stories that are told again and again, each with accumulating layers of excitement and bombast.  But what happens when the original story is lost, yet we create truths upon their legend? 

Order of Service

Rev. Kate Visits Khasi Hills

Rev. Kate R. Walker was a guest speaker for the October 24 closing ceremony of the 50th Death Anniversary of Rev. Annie Margaret Barr, founder of the school we have sponsored in India since 2003. Learn more.

The Share the Plate for November is UUSC

World Justice UUSC Image
In November we will be sharing our plate collection all month with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, or UUSC. UUSC’s work began in 1939, when Rev. Waitstill and Martha Sharpe traveled to Prague to assist refugees attempting to escape Nazi persecution in Europe. Learn more.
