Join Yamuna Morgenstern for JourneyDance on the third Friday of every month from 7–8:30 pm.
Come experience one of ELPC’s unique spiritual practices and offerings. JourneyDance takes you on a journey within through playful dance in a non-judgmental environment. The playlists are designed to open up your chakras, move your Spirit, experience positive vibes, and have fun! JourneyDance is all about responding to music the way you want to respond—no rules, no groping, no ugly lyrics. Join us and dance in healthy community to release tension, feel good, relax, restore, and renew your body, mind, and spirit.
All ages and bodies are welcome. No dance experience necessary, just a joy of moving. Young children should be accompanied by their care givers. Wear comfortable clothing, and you may want to have a water bottle handy!
A donation from the heart, to the church, is very much appreciated.

Labyrinth Prayer Walk
2025-05-21 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-05-22 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-05-28 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-05-29 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-06-04 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-06-05 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-06-11 10:00 - 19:00, 2025-06-18 10:00 - 19:00 (America/Halifax) and 13 more dates | ELPC – McKelvy Room (114), 116 South Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
The labyrinth is an ancient, sacred symbol found in many religious traditions throughout the world. Today, modern pilgrims walk the labyrinth as one of many ways to pray and meditate. The winding path into the center and back out again is a metaphor for the journeys of life and faith. Unlike a maze, which has many paths and is a puzzle to solve, the labyrinth is a single path in and a single path out, and is designed to quiet the mind for prayer and meditation. Members and non-members welcome.

The Labyrinth is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 am–7 pm, in the McKelvy Room.
