Sanctuary: Art + Honors
"Sanctuary: Art + Honors" is a LGBTQIA+ art show and a celebration of safe spaces that we're planning for this fall, September 2023. It will run for a full week in our building! (Call for artists will start in June if you're interested.)
Additionally, we're kicking off the show by bestowing the Sanctuary Award (yes, we invented it) on another local organization to honor their work in creating safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the Pittsburgh area. For our inaugural year, we will be honoring BikePGH! Proceeds from the event will support both Hot Metal and BikePGH.
The plans are underway and the wheels are turning, but we need a few more hands on deck. Could you help us out by joining the steering committee? We meet online monthly, and there will be concrete tasks between meetings that we'll delegate; so you can help out as little or as much as you are able. These are the areas you can get involved in:
Art Show Logistics & Artist Relations
Sponsorships & Fundraising
Promotion & Publicity
Administrative & Behind the Scenes
If you are willing to join the Sanctuary steering committee, either sign up here or let Pastor Erin know. Our next meeting is May 10 at 6 PM.

VBS for All Ages - Operation Restoration! July 24-28, 5-7pm
This VBS invites ALL of us to be menders in God’s world. As we make connections between Bible stories and mending actions, we’ll discover simple ways to live out faith in daily life. Everyone at Operation Restoration explores language and practices to mend God’s world.
Each day, we'll have dinner and worship together, age appropriate Bible and topic studies (yes, even for the adults) and play games and make crafts! All the fun for families of all shapes and sizes!
