SUMMARY:Advent@Home Resources
DESCRIPTION:The season of Advent is a time of waiting and expectation\, an opportunity to prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ into our lives\, our homes\, our neighborhoods\, our communities\, and our world. \nAll-Ages Devotional Kit: Welcoming Jesus in Our Neighborhood \nEach Family Devotional Kit costs $24. We want these kits to be accessible to everyone in our congregation\, so we are offering flexible pricing options. Please select the amount that works best for your household. All pricing options provide the same Advent kit\, and we are grateful for your participation! All-Ages Devotional Kits must be purchased ahead of time to allow time for shipping. \nThe season of Advent is a time of waiting and expectation\, an opportunity to prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ into our lives\, our homes\, our neighborhoods\, our communities\, and our world. Advent@Home: Welcoming Jesus in Our Neighborhood is an intergenerational Advent resource that is meant to be shared as a family or group of all ages. \nA wooden block Advent wreath provides a centerpiece and focal point for the season. The Advent@Home devotional is themed for each week of Advent. Each week includes a Sunday devotional and four additional actions (Serve\, Pray\, Play\, Do) that correspond with the theme of the week. These four actions invite the family to be immersed in Advent preparation and reflection. Once an action is completed each week\, a door or window sticker is added to the side of that week’s candle cube—transforming the candle into a home. By Christmas Eve/Day\, the Advent wreath will reflect a neighborhood that has prepared to welcome Christ’s arrival. \nThis reusable resource can be brought out year after year as a family or household ritual. The devotional prompts provide endless Do/Pray/Play/Serve possibilities. \nAdult Devotional: Until the Dawn \nWe are also offering Until the Dawn\, an adult Advent devotional\, for those who would like a resource for their personal Advent journey. Until the Dawn will follow the sermons throughout Advent. You may choose to add this devotional to your kit purchase or request a copy at no cost\, even if you are not purchasing an Advent kit. \nPlease select the option that best meets your needs on the registration form. We hope these resources will help you and your household prepare for and reflect on the hope\, love\, and promise of Christ this Advent season. \n \nOrder your kit by November 15\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Westminster Seminars
DESCRIPTION:The Westminster Seminars offer a dynamic schedule of topics to help us live more fully as thoughtful Christians in today’s world. Everyone is always welcome. Come when you can – no preparation or homework. \nThe Zoom option makes it easy to catch a seminar if you aren’t at church. For most seminars\, you can watch or listen later on the Westminster web page at: Westminster Seminars. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nThe Zoom meeting opens at 9:30.\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86753114914?pwd=UmxkMWF0RUdCT1FoV3AxUlZ4REhtZz09\nMeeting ID: 867 5311 4914\nPasscode: 209681\nDial in: 1-309-205-3325 \n\nNovember Seminars\nNovember 1\, 8 & 15\n9:45 a.m.\nGalbreath Chapel \nIn November\, the Westminster Seminars welcome back two familiar faces: Professor John Burgess and Rev. Louise Rogers. John will lead a series drawing on his recent research in Romania. Louise will present a special seminar on her pilgrimage to the places of the Apostle Paul’s ministry. Please join in to expand our perspective of Christian life as we grow in faith. \n\nLooking at the World from Europe’s Underside: A Report from the Balkans\nPresented by John Burgess\, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary \nThis three-week series will look at why the West (the U.S.\, NATO) and the East (Russia) are competing to control those countries “in the shadow of Europe\,” such as Romania and the Republic of Moldova. How are churches (especially the Orthodox Church) seeking to shape these nations’ identity? And what lessons are there for Christians in the United States as we too think about religion and the nation? \nThe Rev. Dr. John Burgess\, professor of theology at Pittsburgh Seminary\, has just returned from a nine-month Fulbright in Romania. He has written and spoken extensively on religion and politics in Eastern Europe\, and especially in Russia and Ukraine. \n\nNovember 22 \nFootsteps of the Apostle Paul\nPresented by Louise Rogers \nPeople go on a “Footsteps of the Apostle Paul” pilgrimage today to experience the places where Paul lived\, preached\, suffered\, and helped establish the earliest Christian churches. For many\, this is more than a vacation – it is a journey of faith that brings the Bible to life. In October 2024 a team set out from Central Presbyterian Church in Chambersburg\, PA\, to make this pilgrimage. Along the way\, we explored where the early church began as we connected Scripture with actual places and sought to understand the challenges of the church. We found that the Apostle Paul communicated the gospel to people whose beliefs differed from his own\, which brings important teachings for us as Christians today. Pictures will include key places where Paul walked. \nRev. Louise Rogers returns to us today after working at Pittsburgh Presbytery as an Associate Minister before her retirement. Louise served in several churches in the South Hills of Pittsburgh during her 20+ career in ministry. These include John McMillan Presbyterian Church\, Beechview Presbyterian Church\, Peters Creek Presbyterian Church\, and Westminster Presbyterian Church. She loves being with people of all ages to share God’s message of grace and love. Louise is married to Bill and they have two married daughters and four grandchildren. She is happy to share pictures of the beautiful grandchildren!
