Spiritual Life

The Spiritual Life Ministry at East Liberty Presbyterian Church focuses on helping us to become aware of God's action and presence in our lives, and to assist in this transformation through the practice of spiritual disciplines that make us more open and responsive to the Spirit's touch. Spiritual Life offers us a variety of ways to deepen our spiritual connection with God.

 

Centering prayer

Drawn from the ancient Christian contemplative tradition, centering prayer is presented in an updated, accessible four-step method. The group meets every Tuesday evening in Room 250 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Contact Joe Hajdu by or by phone (412) 793-8151.

Small groups

A small group is a gathering of 3 to 12 people (sometimes more) who meet on a regular basis to share a common interest. More than a gathering for fellowship, the goals are to become involved in activities for mission or ministry as identified by the group, to offer support for personal and spiritual growth, and to provide an opportunity to pray together. Ideas for forming new groups are welcome.

  • Happy Wanderers: Fellowship for older adults experienced through a variety of local trips and events. Singles and couples are welcome. Most activities are during the day. Contact Lois Lang via or phone, (412) 441-3800 x41.
  • Men’s Wooden Toy Making Group.

Spiritual Direction

The yearning for God and for the meaning of life are issues that some individuals want to explore. A spiritual director will help the individual to listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit and help him/her become more aware of the presence and action of God in his/her life.
