Welcome to First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh

This Sunday

  A Mitzvah of Reconciliation  

Livestreamed at 10:30 am It is our annual multigenerational Ingathering worship service.  Our Theme of the Month is Welcome, leading us to reflect and then act upon how to be welcoming to the known and unknown events of life.  Please bring a small sample of water from home, your favorite body of water or a random puddle greeting your day.

Randolph the nation’s first predominantly Black labor union, and was a principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
