Interested in Becoming a Covenant Partner?
04.25.2012
In the life of our church, we have talked about spiritual practices and disciplines that create space for God to work in and through us. On May 20, 2012 we want to invite you to solidify that journey by becoming a covenant partner with the Open Door. We are truly convinced that we need one another to live in the way of Jesus. We are persuaded that when the local church community covenants, promises, and vows together it will enable us to faithfully follow Jesus.
Please begin to prayerfully consider joining us and linking up with what God is doing in and through our church as long as God has you here. On Sunday, May 20, at our worship gathering, there will be an opportunity for you to covenant in partnership with God and one another in the world.
What to do? If you are interested in becoming a covenant partner, email Joy Hickey,joy@pghopendoor.org , and giver her your name and contact information. Secondly, grab a cup of coffee with one of our elders between now and May 15 (their names are below).

Marathon Sunday, May 6th
04.25.2012
Loving and Serving Neighbours
On Sunday May 6th we will gather together to love and serve our neighbors, marathon runners and our city by being present at mile 20.1 water station handing out water, Gatorade, cheering runners, making noise makers and serving our neighbors coffee and muffins at our Open Door Cafe Justo Tent.
Please sign up to serve because this will be our worship gathering offering or bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God (Rom. 12:1). We need, sign makers, coffee runners, bakers, cheerers, come with your whole family and enjoy a great day of service and community in our city. We see this as a very providential and concrete opportunity to put legs on our vision for community integration and imaginatively love and serve our neighbors through outreach and evangelism so as to know and be known by them.
Additionally our neighbor and partner churches are having worship on Saturday night if you are looking for a place to go. Eastminster is at 5pm and ELPC is at 5pm as well. Valley View will also be gathering at 11am Sunday May 6th.
Consider this: “The church disperses to serve God wherever its members are, at work or play, in private or in the life of society… Their witness is the church’s evangelism. Their daily action in the world is the church in mission in the world. The quality of their relation with other persons is the measure of the church’s fidelity.” (Confession of 1967, 9.37)

Morning Prayer
09.19.2011
Tuesdays from 7:15 am – 7:45 am Join us as we begin our Tuesdays in community with one another and the Church universal. If you have never done fixed hour prayer or the morning office it is simple and rewarding. Nothing is required other than your presence. It will only last 30 minutes so come on time and we will finish on time. In his book, Praying with the Church, Scott McKnight observes, “Living within the sweet caresses of the hours of prayer, is the simplest and easiest way to consecrate our entire day as service to God.” Questions, contact BJ Woodworth at bj@pghopendoor.org
