🏳️🌈 PITTSBURGH PRIDE
Sunday, June 1 @ @ Allegheny Commons Park West
Hot Metal is teaming up with LAMP (LGBTQIA+ Affirming Ministries of Pittsburgh) and there are two ways you can join the celebration:
Volunteer at the LAMP table. We recommend signing up for a 3:30, 4:45, or 6:15 volunteer spot. (Signup Form) A group of us will get lunch together after our service and arrive at Pride by 3:30, please join in!
Not the Sunday service type or hanging out in the diaspora? GREAT, we could use your help! LAMP will be marching in the parade at noon, which is hard to swing when you're a church. We'd love it if you would represent Hot Metal in the parade, line up on Liberty Avenue between 11th Street and 16th Street in The Strip before noon and look for the LAMP banner.
Helpful information for those marching, volunteering, or visiting Pride:
😜 SPRING PLAY DAY
Gone are the days of needing a Spring Work Day to upkeep our building, so let's celebrate this new freedom with a day of nothing but play! We'll meet on the patio of Hazel Grove Brewing for yard games, board games, and fun with friends. Hazel Grove has nonalcoholic options on tap like root beer and Jackworth Ginger Beer, along with brews for grownups too.
✌️ Christian Nonviolence Small Group
Friday, June 13 @ 7:00 pm
Emma's House, Lawrenceville: Email eborbin@gmail.com for Address
Luke Watson is forming a community group focusing on Christian nonviolence. At the first meeting, people talked about the issues important to them included Gaza, immigrant mistreatment and deportation, due process concerns; Autism, Medicaid losses, the forgotten ones of society, LGBTQ+ population, and unfairness in general. Monthly meetings will alternate location for geographic fairness, the next will be in Upper Lawrenceville.
This will be an opportunity to meet neighbors and new friends, and let them know that Hot Metal is a place where they can find community and belonging. And we've made t-shirts for the occasion! (Order by June 18.)
Saturday, June 28 @ 3-8 PM
Hazelwood Brew House (5007 Lytle St)
The Brew House is hosting a weekend of vendors, performances, DJs, and more, celebrating love in the Hazelwood Community. Hot Metal will have a table... we'll maybe have a signup sheet soon. Probably. Almost definitely.
Pride Service + Lunch
Sunday, June 29 @ 10:30 AM
We'll be doing what we always do... singing about God's love for ALL, praying for each other, and loving every person who joins in. Stick around for the lunch after! If you're able to, bring along a side dish or dessert; Hot Metal will provide the main dish.
