“Sweet Hour of Prayer” – continues every Wednesday from 6:00-7:00 pm. Have you always wanted to deepen your prayer life, but find that no matter how hard you try distractions tear you away? Our sanctuary will be open for silent prayer. Come for a few minutes or come for the whole hour. There will be no formal agenda, simply an intentional environment for you to speak to and listen to God without any distractions. The altar candles will be lit, inviting the Holy Spirit to meet us during this time. Soft instrumental music will be played. We ask you to arrive and leave in silence out of respect for others. A praying church is a powerful church!
Summer in the Psalms—So many of you have mentioned to Rev. Janet how much you appreciate having a Bible study guide. Summer is a great time to carve out a few minutes each day to get in touch with God. Available in the Narthex (will also be included in the Highlander and attached to this weekly email) is a day- by- day guide for reading through all 150 Psalms this summer. Some days you will read 2 or 3, other days just 1. The study guide begins on June 1. And if you get behind, you can simply pick up on another day. Every Psalm has something to offer and there is a Psalm for every situation you may encounter. Spend some time this summer with God and your Bible.
The Round Hill Clothes Closet is OPEN. Cleanout and renovations have been completed. If you know of anyone in need of seasonal clothing, please let them know about the Clothes Closet. Jan Gronlund is happy to answer any questions or schedule a shopping time. The work schedule will resume as previously posted.
IT’S SUMMER VACATION TIME AND MEALS ON WHEELS can use some substitutes or there is always a place for a permanent volunteer. You can work in the kitchen, drive, be a runner or a number of other occasional jobs to help out. If you can volunteer one day a week or one day a month, your help is truly appreciated. Please call Suzie in the office (412) 751-0511 or Linda with MOW (412) 751-2230. Our volunteers do not have to be associated with our congregation – maybe you know of a family member or friend that can help. Please be on the lookout for helpers!
