I know that I cannot absorb the wonder of Resurrection in one day and so I am grateful that Easter continues as a season until Ascension (Mary 29) and then Pentecost (June 8), each of which will bring additional gifts and challenges. What is special to Easter Sunday is the call-and-response Easter Proclamation: "He is risen" followed by "He is risen indeed." We need that emphatic "indeed," given the malaise of our world and our grief for so much that is happening, so much that is being lost. Moreover, the response of "indeed" puts us into the story! While the Easter Season continues to insist on victory over evil and to insist that joy is still possible, it also encourages us to ask how we can be faithful to our response on Easter morning. How can we live as Easter People indeed? How can we draw others into resurrection? Come worship with us, bringing your doubts as well as your hopes: 11:30 every Sunday morning. All are welcome and needed so that we can thrive and grow into a church that supports those who attend and that supports our community.
Blessings continue, Pastor Dora
About Our Church
Our church has been part of the South Side community since 1833. The building was begun before the civil War with the main section completed in 1869. Our gym was the first gym for public use in the neighborhood. We have space for all kinds of community projects. A vital current ministry is our Open Mic, held the third Thursday of every month for poets and musicians, experienced and just starting out. There is a $5 cover, but we provide refreshments as well as a safe and nurturing space with terrific acoustics.
We worship every Sunday morning at 11:30. You can also join us via telephone conference call by calling (412)-307-7952 ten minutes before services start & hold on until we greet you. You can contact the church at 412 431-0118 or on our email, [email protected].
At South Side Presbyterian Church, we take Christ’s Social Justice seriously. We serve this community and the poets and actors who are drawn to it. We invite your presence and your contributions. Join us!
