Children’s Ministry

Fall/Winter News & Updates


This Fall we have some exciting updates and changes in Children’s Ministry!


Room Changes starting September 8th

As we continue to grow as a church family, we are so excited about the growth in our Children’s Ministry area. With this growth, we have some exciting news about room locations.

  • Infant Nursery (Infant to 18 Months): With the wonderful increase recently in this age group, we are moving the Nursery across the hall into a bigger room. (Previously where the Elementary Age Sunday school and Children’s Church took place)
  • Preschool Children will continue to gather in their current classroom
  • Elementary Age Classroom: Kindergarten through 5th grade will gather in the Loft (above the Narthex) each Sunday

Sunday School Resumes-September 8th at 9:45 am


Our Sunday school curriculum for 2024/2025 is called DWELL and is published by Faith Alive. DWELL invites children to live into God’s story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. It encourages children to live out God’s story every day as they respond to God’s call. Each DWELL session provides fun, interactive ways for children to learn and explore as together they find their place in God’s Big Story. Preschool children will be using Faith Alive’s “God Loves Me” curriculum this year.

Youth Ministry Happenings & Coming Attractions

YOUTH KICK OFF--Sunday, September 8th


Calling all middle/high school youth and parents!!!  Please come and check out the new Youth Room and hear about what is taking shape for Youth Ministry this fall/winter.  Our new Youth Room is located on the lower floor in the building across the street from the Sanctuary.   You can park in the lot there or park in the Sanctuary lot and use the crosswalk to cross the street and enter the building.  Signage will be posted directing you to the Youth Room, but just follow the smell of donuts and treats!!!   


Youth Sunday School: “What We Believe”


Starting on Sunday September 15th at 9:45a, the Middle/High youth will be embarking on a twenty-four-week journey entitled “What We Believe.” This study will guide us to learn more about our Reformed Faith and as important the plans God has intended for us.  We will pause for Advent and Easter, but this new curriculum is very exciting.  It is video driven and allows time for the middle/high school students to break out into their respective age groups for deeper discussions.  This study is for all Middle/High youth whether they have Confirmed in the past or not, and provides an opportunity for our Youth to consider becoming a member of the church.  


Service Projects/Outings

  • Living Stones Fundraiser: The Youth will be baking cookies to support their annual fundraiser.
  • Serving at Living Stones: Sunday, October 27th is our next date to serve at the Overbrook Location.
  • Other service/mission related planning is in the works as we return to City Mission, Wilkinsburg and other locations. Dates will be coming soon.

Men’s Fellowship

PCEPC is initiating a Men’s Fellowship for the purpose of learning and growing as disciples of Christ and building up the brotherhood of believers in His name. To this end, the Men’s Fellowship will meet each Tuesday morning from 8:00 am to 9:00 am in Foundation Hall to explore and discuss various topics.


Starting Tuesday, September 3rd, we will initiate our group by looking at Max Lucado’s book entitled, “God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love.” This is an easy-to-read book that focuses on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things by exploring how God used Jacob—the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience—simply because God chose to use Jacob. His story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely at home.


This book will encourage us in our walk with Christ as He turns brokenness into blessings through His grace, mercy, and relentless love. Books will be available in the narthex or church office starting on or about Sunday, August 18th.

This Fellowship is open to men of all ages including members, non-members, and friends. We look forward to seeing you on September 3rd as we kick off this Fellowship. Please contact either Bruce Thomas (bruce@piersonandscott.com) or Carl Maronde (cnmaronde@comcast.net) if you have any questions.

WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY

The Wednesday Renewal dinner will pause until fall, but Pastor Doug's eschatology study continues in August. 


Watch for the date announcement.
