Pittsburgh New Church welcomes a new Pastor!

At the beginning of July we welcomed our new pastor, the Rev. Jared Buss, together with his wife Justine and their three children. Here is a message from Jared:

 

I am delighted to be here. Justine and I have been very touched by the support we’ve received and the enthusiasm we’ve been met with as we’ve settled in, and we’re looking forward to many rewarding years as part of this congregation. I am honored to have been called to serve as pastor here. I’m eager to get to know the people who love the Pittsburgh New Church, and to work with them to share the blessings we find here with the community around us.

 

May the Lord’s peace be with you all.

New Church Day Pageant

On June 6, the Pittsburgh New Church held a worship service followed by a lovely New Church Day Pageant performed by the students of the Pittsburgh New Church School and a few young members of the congregation. Visiting Pastor Rev. Mike Gladish led the worship service with an introduction of the book of Revelation which thoroughly explained the events occurring in the play. Following the production, families were invited to stay for a BYO picnic along with lemonade and a beautiful cake made in the shape of the woman clothed with the sun.
