SUMMARY:MLK Day of Service Sock Collection
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 26th anniversary of the Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Day of Service (January 18)\, celebrating the life and legacy of the civil rights leader. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on\, not a day off\,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer in their communities. \nIn observance of MLK Day\, to fulfill the theme of “a day on\, not a day off\,” and to live into being a PC(USA) Matthew 25 Church\, ELPC is hosting a Drive-by Sock Collection on Sunday\, January 17\, 1–3:30 pm\, to serve one of the needs of our vulnerable neighbors who are experiencing homelessness. You may drop off sock donations at the Highland Avenue half-circle driveway. \nTypically\, people living in homelessness spend their days walking in their community—and we all know and appreciate that when your feet are cold\, your entire body is cold. Socks are the most requested items of clothing from ministries and organizations that serve individuals who are experiencing homelessness. \nPlease purchase warm socks in sizes for men\, women\, and children to be donated to local shelters. \nThis ministry opportunity is sponsored by the ELPC Mission Board\, Neighbors Committee\, and the Board of Deacons. If you have any questions\, please contact Pastor Patrice at PatriceFS@coh.net.

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.\n\nMake an Instrument of Your Own\nIf you’d like to make an instrument of your own to bring along\, here are the instructions for a “tambouracca” \n\nYou will need two paper plates (of any size\, as long as they are the SAME size); dried beans or rice; stapler\nPlace a 1 tablespoon of beans or rice in the center of a paper plate.\nPlace the second plate on top of the first\, with the center of the plates facing each other.\nStaple along the outside to seal the instrument\n\nMake a Banner\nUsing posterboard\, fabric\, felt\, or paper\, make a banner to celebrate Palm Sunday.

SUMMARY:YAMs | Exploring Our Ecological Identity
DESCRIPTION:“Developing a profound sense of oneself in relationship to natural and social ecosystems is necessary grounding for the difficult work of environmental advocacy.” \nThrough 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. \nRSVP to Kelli Booher.

SUMMARY:Vigil for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION: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. \nPeople 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. \nPlease 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. \n\nSponsored by National Black Presbyterian Caucus (Pittsburgh Chapter) and East Liberty Presbyterian Church \nPhoto by Jared Wickerham\, Pittsburgh City Paper
