Welcome to First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh

This Sunday

“Walking a Labyrinth: A moving meditation and a spiritual practice”

Livestreamed at 10:30 am A labyrinth has a single path. We walk into the center, linger in the center, and then take the same path when walking out. A labyrinth walker may experience the three R’s — Releasing, Reflecting, and Returning. As we walk with intention, we allow our minds to quiet, and we become more centered.

Order of Service

July’s Share the Plate
