SUMMARY:New PW Bible Study & Virtual Lunch
DESCRIPTION:How can we faithfully respond to difficult situations in the world? The ancients lamented to God\, often in very explicit language. The lamenter finds strength to face the world as she remembers God\, confident in the hope that God’s reign is coming. Prayers of lament are expressed in words\, music\, or art. \nAll women are invited to join us for Reclaiming Lament (introduction and virtual lunch) on Tuesday\, August 18\, 12 pm. Our first lesson\, Heart of Lament\, will begin on Monday\, September 14\, 7 pm\, or Tuesday\, September 15\, 10 am. Lessons will then continue on the first Monday and Tuesday of every month\, along with a mid-Month virtual lunch to share laments in writing\, art\, or music. \nWe hope you will join us as we begin to explore this ancient form of prayer and protest. For more information or to ask questions\, please email PW.ELPC@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:YAM Zoom Dinner & Dessert Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Sit down with some new and old friends over dinner on Zoom! We will spend part of our time catching up with one another\, part dreaming up what the YAM group can be this fall/winter\, and part learning about the African Healing Garden from Betty Lane\, who started the garden. Located in Larimer\, the garden is a place that folks can go to heal. It was inspired by friendship\, community\, hurt\, loss\, and hope for the future—and it has something important to offer to its neighbors and to us today. I hope you will come hear its story. \nContact Sara Hackett at SaraH@coh.net or 412.441.3800 x120 for the Zoom meeting ID.

SUMMARY:Pastor Randy’s Drive-Thru Party
DESCRIPTION:Pastor Randy’s turning 60\, and you’re invited to the party! \nThis is a drive-thru birthday party! Pastor Randy and Beth Bush will be in the church’s staff parking lot (Baum Blvd)\, and you can pull in to give him personal birthday wishes. You might even receive a birthday treat! \nIn addition\, several other members of staff will be on the sidewalk along Whitfield Street\, so after you greet Randy and Beth\, pull around the corner to wave or chat with staff for a couple of minutes. \nParking spaces along both Baum and Whitfield St. will be blocked off so that you can pull along the curb. Staff will also be distributing our new church directory at this time. All will be wearing masks. Join us for this happy and safe time of fellowship! \nSo that we don’t tie up street traffic too much\, please move around the church clockwise. We also suggest that you plan your visit around these times\, according to the first letter of your last name: \n\nA thru G | 1:30–2 pm\nH thru O | 2–2:30 pm\nP thru Z | 2:30–3 pm\n\nIn lieu of gifts\, Pastor Randy suggests that you bring a food donation to support Vintage Senior Center\, right up Highland Avenue in East Liberty. Vintage usually provides much-needed companionship\, activities\, and meals for seniors in our area. During the pandemic\, they’re providing alternative meals for seniors. Requested food items include: crackers\, canned soup\, peanut butter\, individual fruit cups\, canned vegetables\, pasta (including instant mac & cheese)\, rice and bottled water. (NO perishables like milk\, fresh fruit\, or meat.) Since most of the seniors live alone\, please choose smaller/individual-size packaged items. You also may choose to make a monetary or check donation (payable to “Vintage”)\, which we will deliver to Vintage for you. \nIf you have any questions\, contact Laura Ristau at 412.780.5588 or Heather Lawrence at 412.266.8177. \n

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club: Braiding Sweetgrass
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee invites you to read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2013\, 390 pages)\, and then join us on Thursday\, October 29\, 7 pm\, for a discussion on Zoom. \nThe subtitle of the book is “Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants.” As a botanist and professor of Environmental Biology\, Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. She brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. \nThe book is a New York Times best seller\, and people are finding this work to be grounding\, calming\, and quietly revolutionary. \nPlease contact Nancy Heastings for Zoom information or for questions.

SUMMARY:Virtual Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Spiritual Life Committee invites you to a virtual retreat for Advent\, themed Wait Upon the Lord. \nThe retreat will take place Friday–Saturday\, November 20–21. The cost is $25. All supplies will be sent to you in advance. \nPlease RSVP by Friday\, November 6\, with Norma Meyer. Contact the Rev. BJ Woodworth with questions. \n\nWhy Retreat? Amidst all that is happening and will be happening in mid-November\, why would one go on a 24-hour retreat. Let me offer one metaphor from Ruth Haley Barton’s book\, Invitation to Retreat: \n“Going on retreat is like a boat entering into the lock in order to rise to new heights. When I don’t enter into the locks at regular intervals my life will just keep sinking to the level of the culture around me and to the level of my own unexamined inner world. However\, when I entered the lock\, that is retreat\, when I allow the doors to close behind me and wait quietly for my soul to be lifted by the presence of God\, I find that almost imperceptibly I am buoyed to new levels. When I emerge\, I may not be able to say exactly what happened\, but I know that I have been lifted to new heights and my sails are straight and ready to catch the wind of the Spirit as it fills my sails.” \nPerhaps what we all need after nine months of a pandemic\, continued racial injustice\, and increasing political division and unrest is to take 24 hours to pull into the locks\, rest\, be still\, attend to our breath\, grieve\, lament\, light a candle\, and find our strength in quietness and trust for the continued journey. \nSecondly\, a retreat at this time helps us prepare for Advent\, a season in which we remind ourselves and get in touch with our longings and desires for the coming of God’s kingdom in fullness. It is a season about imagining and seeing what God’s dream is for us and the world. What are you longing\, waiting\, and hoping for this Advent? A retreat creates space to ponder and prepare our lives for the new thing God may want to birth in and through you.
