SUMMARY:ICE 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:Ash Wednesday Service
DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday\nSmeared in Sin\, Washed in Love\nWith ash and soot we begin this Lenten season with confession; we begin with Psalm 51; we begin on our knees. Today this ancient prayer placed on our lips becomes new again: “Have mercy on me\, O God\, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.” We speak our truths from the shadow of our sin\, the very shadow that marks our mortality. Like ash traced upon our foreheads\, we are marked with the reality of our frailties and failings. It is stark reminder that sin and death are smeared all over us. From this inevitable reality\, we cry out for mercy! For as bold as it is to name our sin and sinful ways that lead to death\, it is all the more audacious to summon our God! To summon the one who actually has the power to do something about sin and the ways of death! On this day of penitence\, through the work and witness of Christ Jesus\, we brashly summon God to come\, to hear our prayer\, and to listen to our confession. \nSo\, with our truths laid bare\, we confess our unfaithfulness to God\, our lackluster love for our neighbors\, our neglect of suffering and injustice in the world. In the same breath\, we ask God to wash us\, to purge us\, and to create in us clean hearts. The smears of sin are washed clean through the love of Christ. And yet\, we will leave worship this day still carrying the cross-shaped trace of sin and death upon us. It is a reminder that\, even amid our confession\, we continue this Lenten season to listen for the perpetual call to return to the Lord our God who is gracious and merciful\, abounding in steadfast love (Joel 2:13). \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Adult Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Are 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. \nWe’re currently diving into Chapter 10 of the Gospel of Luke\, walking together through this powerful book of hope\, challenge\, and grace. At PHLC\, we believe Bible Study isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about opening space to ask honest questions\, share life experiences\, and explore how these ancient words speak to our modern lives. \nWhether you’ve been attending church for years or you’re just curious about scripture\, you’re welcome here. We meet to reflect\, laugh\, wrestle with tough questions\, and encourage each other to live out a grace-filled life in the real world. \nJoin Virtually.

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFinding God in the Clouds\nWe often speak of mountaintop experiences as those joyous times we look forward to with excitement and look back upon fondly\, such as summer camp or an annual hiking trip. The mountaintop moments in today’s readings were different: awe-inspiring\, yes\, but also full of devouring fires\, clouds\, and fear. Vision is obscured\, the familiar becomes unknown\, and nothing is the same. People get lost in fires\, clouds\, and fear\, unable to find their way\, but God’s presence is where we get both lost and found. Many biblical encounters with God involved fear\, pointing to the awesome reality of God that is much more than the gentle shepherd we often imagine (though God is that\, too). God is\, as C. S. Lewis famously said\, “not a tame lion” (The Lion\, the Witch and the Wardrobe\, London: HarperCollins Children’s Books\, 2001\, p. 197). The truth is\, we can no more plan our mountaintop times with God than we can stay there forever\, as much as we think we would like to. God’s place is to invite\, ours to respond\, faces bowed to the ground. \nEventually\, of course\, the time comes to leave that mountain\, walking with Jesus down to the valley and getting dusty with the ashes of daily life. Many churches symbolically “roll up the Alleluias” today\, recognizing that this is the end of a glorious season celebrating Christ’s light and the entrance to a no-less-real season of Jesus’ and our own lives\, the “valley” season of Lent. But that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do down in the valley. On the contrary\, the traditional disciplines of Lent—fasting\, prayer\, and gifts to the poor—all help us maintain the eyes\, ears\, and heart to see and hear God whenever and however God appears. \n~ From Sundays & Seasons
