SUMMARY:Pride History Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join the ELPC Justice Committee for a Pride History Presentation following Sanctuary worship on Sunday\, May 28. A light lunch will be provided. \nThis presentation will be led by Jason Van Ness and will examine the LGBTQIA+ equal rights movement and Pride events over the past 50 years. The presentation will highlight key social and political events that have dovetailed with Pride events in the past\, and considerations for organizing efforts moving forward. Following the presentation\, there will be a panel discussion with LGBTQIA+ clergy in the Greater Pittsburgh region\, who will discuss the future of Christianity and the LGBTQIA+ community. \nOur congregation is a proud participant in LAMP (LGBTQIA+ Affirming Ministries of Pittsburgh)\, along with other affirming Presbyterian Churches in Pittsburgh. We are excited to again celebrate Pride in Pittsburgh. While there are many Pride events sponsored by different groups and in different neighborhoods\, the two Pride events LAMP will be participating in this year are: \n\nPittsburgh Pride March and Parade\, coordinated by QBurgh on behalf of Trans YOUniting and the Pittsburgh Pride Group on Saturday\, June 3\, in downtown and the North Shore.\nWe also will participate in People’s Pride PGH March and Festival on Sunday\, June 25\, in Swissvale.\n\nKeep a lookout for more details that will be posted near the Highland entrance monitor\, including parade maps and times. Come out and celebrate while we share God’s love with all of God’s people!

SUMMARY:PW Diaper Drive
DESCRIPTION:Clean diapers are a basic need of every infant and toddler. Yet\, one in three families cannot afford enough diapers to keep their child clean\, dry\, and healthy. three in five parents miss work or school because they can’t afford the diapers required to leave their baby in childcare. \nThe Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank\, wpadiaperbank.org\, has been helping families meet diaper needs for more than a decade. The Diaper Bank began at New Light Temple Baptist Church\, serving families in Allegheny County through six partner agencies. Last year\, the Diaper Bank provided over two million diapers to families in Allegheny\, Washington\, and Westmoreland counties through 53 partner agencies. ELPC members and friends have generously supported this ministry for many years. \nPresbyterian Women will host a Diaper Drive at the Highland Ave. entrance following worship on Sunday\, July 30\, until 12:30 pm. Donations also may be dropped off in the laundry basket at the Highland Ave entrance. Diaper sizes 5 and 6 are most needed. Financial gifts also are welcomed.

SUMMARY:Mission Board Film Series: The Human Element
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee will host a screening of and discussion on the film\, The Human Element\, following worship on Sunday\, August 6\, in the Social Hall. A light lunch will be provided. \nIn the film\, National Geographic photographer James Balog takes us through a journey of the “four elements”—water\, air\, fire\, and earth—to see how we’ve modified the natural world around us\, and in turn\, how we’re making life for ourselves harder in the process. The Human Element features subjects who are often overlooked victims of climate change. He argues that humans are not apart from nature. We are the fifth element\, and we can help bring the whole system back into balance. \nEmail Nancy Heastings if you have questions.

SUMMARY:Mission Board Film Series: My Name is Pauli Murray
DESCRIPTION:The Justice Committee will host a screening of the documentary\, My Name is Pauli Murray\, following worship on Sunday\, August 13\, in the Social Hall. A light lunch will be provided. \nPauli Murray was a writer\, activist\, legal theorist\, and episcopal priest\, and was involved in articulating key legal arguments of the Civil Rights Movement. Born Anne Pauline Murray in 1910\, they changed their birth name to “Pauli” in the 1930s\, a groundbreaking challenge at that time. In 1944\, Murray challenged the “separate” part of the Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896) Supreme Court decision as a violation of the 13th and 14th Amendments\, eventually forming the basis for Brown vs. The Board of Education (1954) case. Murray also was influential in the work of both Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Thurgood Marshall. In 1977\, Murray became the first African American woman in the U.S. to become an Episcopal priest. Murray died of cancer in 1985. The Episcopal Church sainted Murray in 2012. \nEmail Carol Chonoska for more details.

SUMMARY:An Afternoon of Palestinian Storytelling and Music
DESCRIPTION:Join your friends and neighbors on Monday\, August 14\, from 3 to 5 PM\, as we experience contemporary Palestinian storytelling and music. We will gather at Mifflin Avenue United Methodist Church (905 Mifflin Ave\, 15221) in Regent Square. Ethnomusicologist Hanna Salmon will be our guide.\n\nOral storytelling has a well established history in Palestine. It is a form of entertainment\, a didactic tool\, a mode of political critique and an arena for navigating communal identity. Contemporary Palestinian storytellers continue this practice with folk tales and and personal tales. A variety of vocal and musical techniques help these storytellers share the story-world with their listeners.\n\nHanna Salmon is a PhD candidate in Ethnomusicology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is currently conducting fieldwork for her dissertation\, which examines the practices of contemporary Palestinian storytellers. Ms. Salmon will explore the power of storytelling in Palestinian communities in the West Bank\, the Interior\, and in the Diaspora.\n\nBring your friends. RSVP to Tina at tinawhitehead2@hotmail.com or Eileen at eileeno31@gmail.com.\n\nThis event is hosted by Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) Pittsburgh.
