SHADYSIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (GPCFB) literally distributes tons of food each month to low-income neighborhoods around the city. Before food reaches the homes of families in need, it is touched by the hands of many volunteers. (Only twenty-five percent of all food is handled by paid employees of the food bank.) Without the assistance of community volunteers, most of the food would go to waste before it ever reached those who need it most. Be a part of this rewarding volunteer experience on Saturday, February 13.

Insights of the Wilderness
During the weeks of Lent, we will follow the Hebrews through the Red Sea out into the desert where they learned to walk by faith.  Sooner or later our pilgrimage through life leads us into a barren place. But it is there that our spiritual character is best formed, and we find the faith we need to cross the Jordan into the Promised Land.
