This Sunday

“Where Do You Begin and I End?”  

Livestreamed at 10:30 am. We continue our reflection on the Theme of the Month, Interdependence, with a look at maintaining healthy boundaries in our relationships.  In the current political climate it can be hard to sustain our strengths and build resilience.  

Share the Plate for September is Casa San José

Casa San José, founded in 2013 by Sister Janice Vanderneck, now features a team of 35 staff and 100 active volunteers to create a welcoming space for Pittsburgh’s growing Latino population. Casa San José serves as a vital bridge for 3,500 Latinos annually in Allegheny County, connecting them to essential social services that promote their well-being and support their integration into the community.  We are proud to support their mission, and CASA San Jose was voted First UU’s # 1 charity to receive our Share the Plate Support for 2025-2026. Due to the extreme circumstances of ICE interactions, CASA San Jose has established a Rapid Response Team of volunteers who respond by recording video arrests, and provide help to family members, etc. To join this team, call 412-736-7167, which is the CASA San Jose Emergency Hotline. The need is great!

Capital Campaign Launch: Warming Our Welcome, Brightening Our Future

  In 2025 we launched an exciting campaign to make our church more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable. Planned improvements include energy-efficient heating and cooling, upgraded lighting and sound, a modern video system, outdoor enhancements, and a long-term endowment. We invite every member to get involved. Learn more.
