Welcome Back Kick-Off Celebration
After a summer of traveling, worshiping in different places, and finding rest in new rhythms, it's time to come back together. Join us as we kick off a new season with food, games, and plenty of time to reconnect.
This year's kick-off is at Pins Mechanical Company, whose motto is "Proudly made with Midwest grit." I couldn't resist, since grit has been my word for this season. Researcher Angela Duckworth describes grit as passion and perseverance for what matters over the long haul. My hope is that we're becoming the kind of community that keeps showing up…for one another, for our neighbors, and for the work God is inviting us into. Community isn't built in a day. It grows as we gather around tables, share life together, and faithfully return to one another, again and again.
So come hungry, bring your competitive spirit (or just your laughter), and let's celebrate the beginning of another season together.

No Sunday Service due to Marathon
There will not be service on Sunday, 5/3/26, due to the Pittsburgh Marathon.
However, one of our mission partners—Open Hand Ministries—is seeking volunteers to run in the Pittsburgh Marathon and raise money for them. If 26.2 or 13.1 miles seems too daunting, did you know that you can get together with friends and make it a relay?!
Help support our Open Door runners:
Ethan Bell
Lyle Creasy
Heather List
Please let us know if you join in the fun so we can add your link too!
