Sanctuary: Art + Honors
- SPONSORS WELCOME: If you or an organization or company you know believe that everyone is worthy of love, respect, and safety, we invite you to support a celebration of safe spaces through the work of LGBTQIA+ artists. The need for places of refuge only grows as queer individuals and families are increasingly targeted by culture-wars.
With your organization by our side at this upcoming event, we are sure to make a bold statement that Pittsburgh is brimming with sanctuaries dedicated to the safety of LGBTQIA+ people. CLICK HERE for more information - https://www.sanctuarypgh.com/sponsors
- CALL FOR ARTISTS - OPEN JUNE 15 - SANCTUARY invites visual artists in the LGBTQIA+ community (including allies!) to submit 1-3 pieces of work for a week-long exhibition at Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community in celebration of sanctuary spaces in Pittsburgh and beyond.

VBS for All Ages - Last Chance to Sign Up!
To help us plan, we're asking you to sign up for VBS before the end of this month! 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!
