PARENTS OF PRE-K AND ELEMENTARY CHILDREN
If you are looking for activities that are fun for children and help them understand a little more about the season of Lent look at this website. It will give you ideas that address growth in faith, prayer, mission, resurrection, etc.
USHER VOLUNTEERS
The church is in need of usher volunteers for this year!
We follow a light schedule and only ask your commitment to serve every 6 weeks (substitutes are available if there is a conflict on the date scheduled). Ushering is a good way to meet and greet members and visitors and to serve the church at the same time. If you can help contact Tim Miller at 412-318-4781 or
tmiller1502@comcast.net.
PRAYER AND BIBLE STUDY GROUP will meet this upcoming Wednesday, February 24. Lectionary passages for the week are: Gen. 15:1-12, 17-18; Ps. 27; Phil. 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35. All CPCBA members and friends are welcome!
