Retreats
Youth typically
participate in two weekend retreats each year. One is normally
held in the fall in conjunction with youth from other churches.
The other is held in the spring at Camp Crestfield in Slippery
Rock, PA and is led by the ELPC youth director and leaders.
Retreats are available for both youth in both junior high and
senior high.
ELPC youth also participate in a
week-long service trip, retreat or youth conference outside of
the Pittsburgh area each summer. The summer trips are only open
to those ELPC youth who have regularly participated throughout
the year in other projects and weekly programs.
Service Projects
Once a month the youth
participate in a service project aimed at serving both people in
the community and in the church. Projects range from helping at
our Vacation Church School to providing craft activities at
local hospitals.
Special Events
Each month the youth hold
special fellowship events and activities. Some are held here at
the church such as lock-ins, movie nights and game nights; other
events are held at off-site locations such as skating rinks,
Kennywood and the Gateway Clipper. Many events are opportunities
for ELPC youth to include their friends, while others are
celebrations for participation in service projects.
