GC Recruiter is visiting February 21 & 22

Baird Kistner, the Senior Recruiter of teachers & ministers for the General Church, will be visiting Pittsburgh the weekend of February 22. He’s been traveling to various congregations throughout North America with the twofold goal of connecting with invested members of New Church communities and partnering with anyone who is (or might someday be) interested in a career in New Church education or the priesthood.

You’re invited to two different events at which you can hear from Baird and share your thoughts with him:

On Saturday the 21st Baird’s going to host a happy hour at the Fire Side Pub—take a look at the infographic elsewhere in the Reporter.

After church on Sunday the 22nd (at about 12:30 pm), he’ll give a brief presentation in the social hall, and then hold a Q&A session.

Attending these events does not mean you’re signing up to teach or preach for the GC! Baird will be happy to talk to anyone who’s interested in supporting these uses. But if you know someone who’s expressed an interest—or may have a possible interest—in one of these careers, please let them know about these events!

 

Online Bible Reading & Discussion

Read the Word in one year!

We invite you to join us in reading the New Church canon of the Word throughout 2026—from January 1st through December 31st. This year-long schedule guides you through every book of the Word that contains an internal sense, averaging just 1–3 chapters per day.

To support one another in the journey, we are also starting a WhatsApp group for daily reflections and discussion. If you would like to join the group or receive a copy of the reading schedule, please contact Rev. Dan Calvo at dancalvonewchurch@gmail.com.

Take care,

Rev. Dan Calvo

Assistant to the Pastor, Pittsburgh New Church
