East Liberty Presbyterian Church

Palm Sunday Processional
2021-03-28 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
ELPC is hosting a special outdoor Palm Sunday Processional. You may pick up palm branches at the church and then process around our building—wearing masks and maintaining a safe distance. You can also process in your vehicle! Make banners and bring instruments to sing Hosanna and praise God!
If you would like to participate in a Palm Sunday celebration from the comfort of your own home, please let Pastor Heather or Ms. Sara know. You can call ahead to pick up Palm Branches or make Palm branches from construction paper at home.

Schedule and Notes
Please arrive between 1 pm and 1:40 pm to pick up your palm branches.

Those joining the processional on foot are invited to go to one of the corners of the sidewalk around the church, get their palm branches, and pick a spot on some chalk art on the sidewalk. The chalk art will measure out 6 feet of distance, as we ask you (and anyone in your family) to remain 6 feet away from anyone outside of your bubble.
Those driving up to pick up a palm branch without exiting your car, please pull into the Highland Avenue Turn-around to get your palm branch.

Brass Roots Tympanist, Abby, will be playing, starting at 1 pm.

Bring your drums, maracas, bells, shakers, pots and pans…and join her in making a joyful noise unto our Lord!
We will have TWO different processionals around the church. One will start at 1:15 pm, and the second will start at 1:45 pm. Abby will lead the line, beginning at the corner of Highland and Penn, as we circle the building 3 times. Feel Free to march along in the procession, or move to the side and shout Hosanna from one spot. Drop by for one of the processionals, or stay for the whole hour.

Make an Instrument of Your Own
If you’d like to make an instrument of your own to bring along, here are the instructions for a “tambouracca”

You will need two paper plates (of any size, as long as they are the SAME size); dried beans or rice; stapler
Place a 1 tablespoon of beans or rice in the center of a paper plate.
Place the second plate on top of the first, with the center of the plates facing each other.
Staple along the outside to seal the instrument

Make a Banner
Using posterboard, fabric, felt, or paper, make a banner to celebrate Palm Sunday. Write words like “Praise God!” or “Hosanna”—or words of your choice—as we remember Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

YAMs | Exploring Our Ecological Identity
2021-04-08 18:30 - 20:00 | ELPC – Online, 116 South Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
“Developing a profound sense of oneself in relationship to natural and social ecosystems is necessary grounding for the difficult work of environmental advocacy.”
Through hands-on activities, we will discuss and learn how to construct our ecological identity: using the direct experience of nature as a framework for our personal decisions, professional choices, political action, and spiritual inquiry. We will be guided by Mitchel Thomashow’s book, Ecological Identity: Becoming a Reflective Environmentalist. Reading is not required to participate.
RSVP to Kelli Booher.

Justice Committee's Drive-by Collection
2021-04-11 13:30 - 15:30 | East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States

All of these items must be of a regular size (not travel or super). You also may donate jigsaw puzzles (with all of the pieces).
If you would like to work with the Justice Committee on cash bail, solitary confinement, the diversion program, mentorship program and other criminal justice issues, contact Carol Chonoska at carolchonoska@gmail.com.

Vigil for Racial Justice
2021-04-23 12:00 - 13:00 | East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
The verdicts delivered in the murder trial of George Floyd remind us that incidental accountability is still possible in today’s world—even as comprehensive justice and an end to systemic racism remain goals not yet accomplished. The memory of George Floyd gasping for breath beneath the literal knee of oppression haunts us. And the growing list of names of people killed by police shootings, the rising injury and death toll caused by American gun violence, and the widespread acts of racial bigotry inflicted on African Americans and people of color—including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Latinx, Native Americans and others—all of this compels us to gather as a witness fully committed to the work yet to be done.
People are invited to stand vigil around ELPC holding up signs that reflect our community’s commitment to affirm Black Lives Matter, that allow us to continue saying George Floyd’s name and invoke the names of other victims of racist and police-based violence, and that acknowledge how the struggle for true justice extends before us, calling us toward a horizon of equality, equity, and a Beloved Community. We ask that all participants be masked and willing to observe safe social distancing during this event.
Please join us for this ecumenical, interfaith public vigil. May our combined presence be the voice crying out for waters of justice to pour down mightily in our land. May our common witness be the plowshare of hope fashioned from the broken swords and weapons of racial injustice.

About Black Ballerina from Pittsburgh Public Theater’s Website
Written by Stephen Fedo & Tim Rhoze
Directed by Tim Rhoze
May 20-23, 2021
Tim Rhoze (Director of Public PlayTime’s Fires in the Mirror) returns to Pittsburgh Public Theater to direct this elegant story about the perseverance and principle it takes to thrive in the elite world of dance. Gliding through time, the story portrays the struggle of three generations of incredibly skilled Black dancers struggling to keep their dreams on point in the face of discrimination. Equal parts grit and poetry, Black Ballerina draws from the classic canon and iconic ballets to place the narrative of these stunning dancers at the center of the story.
Starring Sean Blake, Allison Cahill, Jen Gorman, Amy Landis, Mike Magliocca, Zora Rose, Kara Roseborough, Claire Sabatine, Eldridge Shannon, and Jacqueline Williams.
Content: This story explores themes of generational racial trauma and includes adult situations and explicit language. While these are important topics to consider and discuss, please note this content may not be appropriate for all viewers.

Why Do We Have To Keep Talking About Race Anyway?
2021-05-30 12:30 - 14:00 | PA
“White people often say ‘I am colorblind,’ ‘I don’t see race,’ and ‘There is just the human race.’ They think people of color are obsessed with race and that alleging discrimination is itself racist, divisive, and playing the race card. They think that racism towards people of color no longer exists. So, let’s examine evidence of historical and current racial discrimination in American life to see if race and racism are serious problems.” (Should we stop talking about Race? by Ralph Bangs)
If you are interested in this conversation about racial discrimination from the perspective of Dr. Beverly Harris-Schenz, join the Facing Systemic Racism Team following Sanctuary worship on Sunday, May 30.

Contemplative Activism Retreat with Cole Arthur Riley
2021-06-11 18:00 - 2021-06-12 18:00 | ELPC – Online, 116 South Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
The Spiritual Life Committee is excited to bring in Cole Arthur Riley to lead a retreat on Contemplative Activism. Join us we learn how to adopt spiritual practices that suspend between the contemplative and pursuit of justice. In our activism, spiritual contemplation can feel more like a precursor to the work of justice, instead of a core part of it. Together, we will explore the gift of a contemplative spirituality that is marked by liberating habits of storytelling, emotion, and embodiment.
Click to Register
Retreat Details
The cost is $50 (scholarships are available). Please register by Friday, June 4. Like our previous online retreats, we will gather via Zoom at scheduled times. Cole will speak and guide us in prayer, a reflection, and an embodied activity during each of these sessions, as well as give suggestions and prompts for our own solitude and contemplation in between each session. Our themes will be as follows:

Friday, 6 pm | The Liberation of the Self
Exploring how insight into our interior lives can be an active justice practice, as we talk about selfhood, story, and memory.
Saturday, 9 am | Liberating Emotion
Examining how emotional truth-telling informs contemplation and activism—specifically emotions such as lament and anger.
Saturday, 1 pm | Contemplation & The Body
Discussing how contemplative habits can and should guide us into deeper connections with our bodies, including the cost of justice-work on our bodies, and contemplation as a healing force.
Saturday, 5 pm | Closing Prayer Service
Gathering in the graces and sharing our intentions.

﻿

Environmental Book Club | Farming While Black
2021-07-12 19:00 - 20:00 | Garfield Community Farm, Corner of Wicklow and Cornwall Streets, Pittsburgh, PA, 15224, United States
The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee continues their study and activities around nature, regeneration, interdependence, gardening, and farming. We invite you to read Leah Penniman’s book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land. Our discussion will take place on Monday, July 12, 7 pm, at Garfield Community Farm (509 Wicklow Street, 15224), or via Zoom if it rains.
In 1920, 14% of all land-owning U.S. farmers were Black. Today less than 2% of farms are controlled by Black people—a loss of over 14 million acres and the result of discrimination and dispossession. While farm management is among the whitest of professions, farm labor is predominantly brown and exploited—and people of color disproportionately live in “food apartheid” neighborhoods and suffer from diet-related illness. The system is built on stolen land and stolen labor.
Throughout the chapters, Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described—from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm—a national leader in the food justice movement.
