In brief: Recruitment drive, Hartwood Acres worship service and more in the North Hills – TribLIVE

Member recruitment

Perry Highland Womens Association is hosting a membership recruitment Drive at 7 p.m. Aug. 25 at Ascension Lutheran Church, 8225 Peebles Road in McCandless. The nonprofit womens association is dedicated to giving back to the community and making a difference in the world for more than 70 years.

Worship service at Hartwood Acres

On Aug. 7, at 10 a.m., Elfinwild, Parkwood and Hampton Presbyterian Churches will partner to host a combined worship service outdoors at the Hartwood Acres Park Amphitheatre. The service will be led by the pastors of the participating churches. The HPC praise band and the PPC praise members will contribute music to the service. Communion will be offered as a part of the service. The Amphitheatre is located at 4070 Middle Road in Allison Park.

Members are encouraged to donate to their individual churches as usual; however, any monies collected that day will be donated to the North Hills Community Outreach, HEARTH and Anchorpoint. Bring blankets and chairs. The HPC praise band will present a short (30-minute, or so) concert prior to the one-hour service, and play a couple of songs afterward; so, bring a picnic brunch early for the music and stay after a little longer.

Call any of the three church offices for details or questions, Dirk Lesnett at Elfinwild U.P., 412-486-5400; Jeffrey Potter at Parkwood U.P., 412-486-9220; or Ted Martin at Hampton P.C., 724-443-3201.
