    • BEYOND TOPIC – “Be SENT”

      Be SENT this Advent at Beyond

      As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them . . . —John 17:18

      God sent Christ into the world as our Savior. In turn, Christ sends us into the world.

      But do we really understand how, where, and why we are sent?

      This Advent study, centered around a 8-10 minute videos, challenges us through story, art, and Bible study to discover what it means to be Christ’s hands, feet, head, and heart. 

      Join us at Spencer UMC for a light supper at 6:15pm and service at 7pm.

    • New Midweek Prayer Service at Hill Top UMC

      COMING ADVENT 2015

      On Wednesday, December 2, at 6:30 pm, we’re kicking off a midweek prayer service in the freshly re-modeled sanctuary of Hill Top UMC (631 E Warrington Ave, 15210). Ever since the devastating fire in 2014, the Hill Top congregation has been outside of their building.  Now, as they re-enter their worship space, let’s join together to transform that new building into a house of prayer for all people!

      There are few acts as basic to the Christian life as prayer. In fact, it’s been said that the best way to gauge the vitality of a church is to look at the place of prayer in that church’s life. When John Wesley began the Methodist revival so long ago, he received strength to change the world from weekly and at times daily services of prayer and Holy Communion.

      In this new beginning for the Hill Top Church, then, we seek to base our life together on prayer, opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s presence and guidance.  The midweek prayer service will meet weekly, with healing prayer and anointing offered the first Wednesday of every month, including in our kick-off service on Dec. 2nd. All are welcome, and we hope you’ll join us as we seek revival of our spirits and encounters with our God. This Advent, why not prepare yourself to celebrate Jesus’ birth in a manger once more by making room for Him in your heart through prayer? Please contact Pastor Matt for more details at (412) 532-6157 or [email protected].
