SUMMARY:NO Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Our Mindfulness Meditation group will not meet tonight\, Thursday\, April 1\, so that we can worship together at our Maundy Thursday service at 7 pm. Our regular schedule will resume next Thursday. \n\n“Meditation means to be in the process of realizing that God is wholly present in each step along our way. It is to be slowly awakening to the divine destination of our journey manifesting itself in the divinity of our own breathing\, our own beating heart\, our simply being who we are.”—James Finley \nMindfulness meditation is the practice of resting in present moment awareness without judgment\, opening to the heart of love and compassion for ourselves\, others\, and our world. Each Thursday evening\, Susan Spangler and Ted Cmarada will guide us in these practices and offer support for practicing meditation in everyday life. Those new to meditation and those with experience are welcome. \nClick the button below at the scheduled time to join via Zoom or call in by dialing 312.626.6799. Enter meeting ID\, 959 8065 3992\, and passcode\, mindful\, when prompted. \nJOIN VIA ZOOM \n\nAbout Susan Spangler and Ted Cmarada\nSusan and Ted began practicing Mindfulness Meditation in 1990 with the beloved Vietnamese Buddhist teacher Thich Naht Hanh. Over the years\, their practice and appreciation of mindfulness and related meditation practices has deepened through relationships and study with teachers from various meditation traditions. They bring to their teaching the warmth\, humor and compassion modeled for them by these teachers\, a caring presence cultivated through the practice of psychotherapy\, and loving hearts nurtured through their deep and life-long commitment to the Christian path.

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
