SUMMARY:Adult Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Adult Bible Study\nAre you looking for a meaningful way to engage with scripture and connect with others on the journey of faith? Our ongoing Bible Study at Perry Highway Lutheran Church is the perfect opportunity to do just that—no matter where you are on your spiritual path. \nAt PHLC\, we believe Bible Study isn’t about having all the answers or being a “Bible expert.” Instead\, it’s about creating a welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged and every voice matters. Together\, we open the scriptures with honesty and humility\, asking real questions\, sharing life experiences\, and exploring how these ancient words continue to speak into our modern lives. Faith\, after all\, grows best in conversation. \nEach gathering is a blend of thoughtful reflection and genuine connection. Some weeks we find ourselves laughing together; other weeks we wrestle with challenging passages or tough questions about life\, justice\, and hope. Always\, we seek to listen deeply—to scripture\, to one another\, and to the movement of God in our everyday lives. This is a place where doubts are not feared\, stories are honored\, and grace is practiced. \nWhether you’ve been attending church for many years\, are returning after time away\, or are simply curious about scripture and faith\, you are truly welcome here. You don’t need prior knowledge\, special preparation\, or the “right” answers. Just bring your authentic self and an open heart. \nOur Bible Study community is grounded in encouragement and support\, helping one another discern how to live out a grace-filled\, compassionate life in the real world—at work\, at home\, and in our wider community. \nBest of all\, you can join us virtually\, making it easy to participate wherever life finds you. If you’re seeking connection\, thoughtful conversation\, and a deeper engagement with scripture\, we would love for you to be part of this journey with us. \nTo join virtually\, email Pastor Ryan at pastor@phlc.org for the link.

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFourth Sunday in Lent\nGod’s Eyes Are Not Our Eyes\nOne heresy in the early church was called Donatism. The Donatists held that the sacraments were only efficacious if presided over by priests who were sinless. It didn’t take the church long to realize that if it held to this policy there would be no sacraments for anyone. So if the gospel can be proclaimed through the preaching of a sinner\, then we must allow for the possibility that God’s healing may be accomplished through extraordinary means. God chooses a boy too young to be taken seriously to anoint as one chosen to lead Israel. When the prophet Samuel is sent by God to find the new king who will replace Saul\, Samuel goes through a long line of all Jesse’s tall\, strapping\, competent-looking sons of appropriate age. When none of them are chosen\, finally Jesse sends for young David. All of the obvious-to-us choices were declined in favor of a boy. What we may see as authoritative\, respectable\, and trustworthy may not always align with God. Today’s first reading reminds us that “the Lord does not see as mortals see” (1 Sam. 16:7). \nThis theme of sight runs throughout today’s texts\, both in terms of how God does not see as we see and also in Jesus’ healing of a man born blind. Jesus chooses to heal a blind man on the sabbath with dirt and saliva\, much to the dismay of the good religious people who were certain they knew better than to display such questionable judgment and behavior. Lent is a time to reevaluate. Let it also be a time to examine the ways in which we do not see what God is doing around us because we too think we know better. Bottom line: God often uses the unexpected to accomplish redemption. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Prayer Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Prayer Vigil\nJoin members of PHLC as we stand with our wider community at a weekly prayer vigil in support of immigrants who have been seized and are being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This vigil takes place every Friday\, beginning at 8:30 AM\, at the ICE Field Office\, 3000 Sydney Street\, Pittsburgh. It is grounded in faith\, compassion\, and a shared commitment to justice. \nEach gathering includes hymns\, spoken prayers\, and intentional moments of silence. Together\, we create sacred space in the midst of public life—bearing witness to the dignity of our immigrant neighbors and naming the harm caused by unjust systems. This is a peaceful\, quiet protest\, meant to remind the public that the suffering of our neighbors is not abstract or distant\, but real and happening in our community. \nParticipants are welcome to carry signs that reflect messages of hope\, solidarity\, and justice. In keeping with the spirit of the vigil\, there will be no shouting\, chanting\, or bullhorns. Those attending will stand on the public sidewalk only and may not enter the roadway or the property of the ICE facility. These guidelines help ensure the safety of all involved and preserve the prayerful nature of the gathering. \nThis vigil is an act of faithful presence—showing up\, week after week\, to say that immigrants are beloved\, that families matter\, and that silence in the face of injustice is not an option. Whether you come every Friday or are able to join us once\, your presence matters. \nThe vigil is hosted by Sisters of St. Joseph\, Pax Christi\, and Casa San José. All are welcome to come\, pray\, and stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. \nPlease note: if the Pittsburgh Public schools cancels or has a 2-hour delay\, the Vigil for that day will be cancelled.

SUMMARY:Lenten Supper & Service
DESCRIPTION:Lenten Supper & Service\nJoin us on Mondays from February 23 through March 23 as we gather for a meaningful season of Lenten observances\, a time set apart for reflection\, prayer\, and renewal as we journey toward Easter together. \nEach Monday evening offers a gentle rhythm to begin the week grounded in community and faith. We will start with a light supper at 6:00 pm\, providing a simple meal and a welcoming space to slow down\, share conversation\, and reconnect with one another. Whether you come straight from work\, school\, or home\, the table is set for you—no need to rush or prepare anything in advance. \nAt 6:30 pm\, we will move into worship. These Lenten services are designed to be reflective and accessible\, creating room to pause amid the busyness of life. Through scripture\, prayer\, music\, and moments of silence\, we will explore themes of repentance\, hope\, grace\, and God’s enduring presence with us. Lent invites us to take an honest look at our lives while also resting in the promise of God’s love\, and these services will help guide that sacred work. \nYou are welcome to attend one evening or all five—come as you are\, as often as you are able. This season is not about perfection\, but about presence: showing up\, listening\, and allowing God to meet us where we are. Friends\, neighbors\, and newcomers are warmly invited\, whether you are deeply familiar with Lent or experiencing it for the first time. \nMark your calendar and plan to join us for these Monday evenings of nourishment for both body and spirit. We look forward to walking this Lenten journey with you\, together\, in faith and community.

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nThird Sunday in Lent\nOur “Other” at the Well\nThe woman at the well is a familiar text for many people. This image of Jesus standing at a well talking with a Samaritan woman is emblazoned in our visual and theological imaginations\, but as with all Bible stories that we think we know\, we might do well to take another look! Perhaps relegating this text to the simple moralism “be nice to people who are different” causes us to miss how deeply radical and difficult the message really is. We may assume this gospel simply urges us to stand with the marginalized\, especially women. Yet while standing with marginalized women is a commendable action it can lead us\, after doing so\, to congratulate ourselves for being just like Jesus. A more critical and searching look at this text calls us to the reality that Jesus doesn’t just stand with the other\, Jesus stands with your other; your church’s other. Your church’s “Samaritans” may be homosexuals\, evangelicals\, urban people\, rural people\, conservatives\, liberals\, the poor\, the rich\, the dying\, or single parents. Your church’s Samaritans could very well be the key to this text. Because\, like it or not\, when we draw lines between ourselves and other people\, Jesus is always on the other side of that line. So communities and individuals who thirst for the living water would do well to look to who our own Samaritans might be. And when we find them we should perhaps not be surprised to also find Jesus; a Jesus we thought was all our own but who\, in reality\, is the living water who comes to us in the strange and the stranger. \n~From Sundays & Seasons \n
