Today\, the Taizé community is made up of over a hundred resident brothers\, both Catholics and from various Protestant backgrounds/traditions. Taizé wants to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.

In the words of Adele Calhoun\, “A contemplative person recognizes that every experience offers more than meets the eye. They know that ‘bidden or unbidden’ God is present.” \nThis takes practice. \nJoin the Rev. BJ Woodworth for a time to practice a variety of contemplative prayer practices\, utilizing fixed prayers\, scripture\, music\, silence\, art\, and our bodies to help us start our day in communion with God and one another. \nClick the button below at the scheduled time to join via Zoom or call in by dialing 312.626.6799 and entering meeting ID\, 959 8065 3992. \n\nPasscode: bestill\n\nDial-in Passcode: 6787603\nJOIN VIA ZOOM URL:https://cathedralofhope.org/event/contemplative-prayer/2026-05-04/ LOCATION:ELPC – Online\, 116 South Highland Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15206\, United States CATEGORIES:Church Life,Educational & Spiritual Life ORGANIZER;CN="Rev.

Imagine the despair and confusion of the two disciples walking to Emmaus three days after Jesus’ crucifixion. They had hoped that Jesus of Nazareth was the one to redeem Israel. Moreover\, that Sunday morning\, Mary Magdalene and the other women reported that Jesus had risen from the grave. \nAs the disciples walked to Emmaus\, a stranger joined them. The disciples did not recognize Jesus until they shared a meal with this stranger! The risen Christ may come to us in unfamiliar guises\, when we least expect him. \nJoin us for our lesson\, Finding Our Identity in Christ: When You Are Walking with Jesus – The Road to Emmaus\, on Monday\, May 4\, 7–8:30 pm (online only)\, or Tuesday\, May 12\, 10 am–12 pm (in-person only).

In this emptiness\, we may see the world as if for the first time. We may see others as they are and we may find that the Kingdom of Heaven is truly within us; that we are living in God and God in us. \nThe Spiritual Life Committee invites you to join John Benedict in the Chapel on Tuesdays\, 6–7 pm\, for an hour devoted to meditation. The session will include an opening reading\, silent sitting\, and walking. No experience necessary\, all are welcome. \nJohn Benedict is a retired psychologist and a longtime student and practitioner of Insight Meditation.

Today\, the Taizé community is made up of over a hundred resident brothers\, both Catholics and from various Protestant backgrounds/traditions. Taizé wants to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.

Moreover\, that Sunday morning\, Mary Magdalene and the other women reported that Jesus had risen from the grave. \nAs the disciples walked to Emmaus\, a stranger joined them. The disciples did not recognize Jesus until they shared a meal with this stranger! The risen Christ may come to us in unfamiliar guises\, when we least expect him. \nJoin us for our lesson\, Finding Our Identity in Christ: When You Are Walking with Jesus – The Road to Emmaus\, on Monday\, May 4\, 7–8:30 pm (online only)\, or Tuesday\, May 12\, 10 am–12 pm (in-person only). Tuesday morning Bible Study will meet in-person only in the Fellowship Room\, and will be followed by a potluck lunch. Please bring a dish to share; beverages will be provided. \nEmail PW.ELPC@gmail.com with any questions. Click here for more information about Presbyterian Women at ELPC. \nJoin via Zoom URL:https://cathedralofhope.org/event/presbyterian-women-bible-study/2026-05-12/ LOCATION:East Liberty Presbyterian Church\, 116 S.

In this emptiness\, we may see the world as if for the first time. We may see others as they are and we may find that the Kingdom of Heaven is truly within us; that we are living in God and God in us. \nThe Spiritual Life Committee invites you to join John Benedict in the Chapel on Tuesdays\, 6–7 pm\, for an hour devoted to meditation. The session will include an opening reading\, silent sitting\, and walking. No experience necessary\, all are welcome. \nJohn Benedict is a retired psychologist and a longtime student and practitioner of Insight Meditation.
