Church Outreach and Activities
These are just some of the activities that happen at Emmanuel:
FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY
This ministry originally of support for new and expectant parents now focuses on the needs of the elderly in the community. Through home visits, church members offer friendship, prayer and practical help: meals, education, and most of all, reassurance.
Up for Reading: an Urban Program for Reading
For anyone interested, both in the parish and in the Pittsburgh community at large, in mentoring and tutoring young children in reading, Emmanuel is in need of mentors to assist in the Up for Reading program. Attached below is a link with contact information and how you can get involved. Please remember how important remedial reading education is, since far too many children in urban environments read below the levels considered to be functionally literate in the United States.
Lenten Food for Thought
Follow the link below for articles helping us contemplate the spiritual nature of food. Over the course of lent, we can gain an insight into how food comes to us, and recognize God's hand in something so commonplace that it is often ignored.
Welcome To Emmanuel Episcopal
Welcome to Emmanuel Episcopal's Website. Nestled in the North Side, just a few blocks from the booming stadiums, diverse museums, and the active businesses of the Pittsburgh's North Shore lies Emmanuel Episcopal: a close community of faithful people who were drawn to this unique church. From the activities and sunday worship to the architectural curiousities of the church itself, Emmanuel has something for everyone, and all are welcome to see what it can offer.
Please feel free to take some time to look around the website, or stop by one of the activities at the church. There is always something going on at Emmanuel!
