On Wednesday, April 29th, 9 AM - 12 PM, we are planning to continue "re-wilding" our faith as we beautify the church grounds. We will be weeding, mulching, and distributing pea gravel around the perimeter of the church. Bring your work gloves and help us prepare the side lawn for our Community Dinner season! Don't forget your knee-pads!

However, as we look at the forecast, it appears we will have wet Wednesday. We will plan to garden on May 6, 9 AM - 12 PM as well.

If you are unable to assist on either of those dates, we would love any hour or two you may have while the weather is cool.

Wednesday, May 6, join us for a free, slightly late Cinco de Mayo celebration in the social room. We will have a variety of taco fillings, vegetarian and gluten free options. Enjoy some good food and fellowship as we kick off our summer community dinner series. Feel free to bring non-perishable food donations for the Wilkinsburg Community Ministry.

All are welcome to our next set of Yoga at the Church sessions led by Heather Derby. We will meet in the Lounge on Saturday mornings from April 4 to May 9, 2026. Pay what you can and bring a mat, or use one available at the church. Please use the side ramp entrance to be buzzed into the building.

There will be no meeting on April 18 due to the Pet Ministry's Pet Remembrance Service.

Grief occurs after the loss of a significant relationship. The loss of a pet can be a devastating and life altering experience. The grief after a pet’s death can be as severe as the loss of a human loved one, and it can be as prolonged and complicated. Each person copes differently, and the timeline for bereavement is variable.

Pets are our companion animals. They become a special part of our families. They bring joy into our lives and teach us lessons of patience, tolerance, and unconditional love. No matter when we lose our animal companion, we will always remember how unique and special our relationship was. The support of others who have experienced this loss is helpful to all of us. Our children are particularly affected by pet loss. They cope best when we acknowledge their feelings, tell the story of their pet, and participate in a memorial activity.

​Join the Pet Ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood for a faith-based celebration of the life of your pet on Saturday April 18 at 11 a.m. Please register and send a photo of your pet(s) by April 4 to receive a memorial token. A reception with food and fellowship will follow. Grief care will be available. 

All are welcome to experience "Re-Wilding our Faith" this Holy Week at FPCE.  Join us for the following:

Palm Sunday - March 29 at 11:00am
Giving Up 'Empire'
Will you choose the war horse of empire or the donkey of peace? We’re following the "Wild King" into a revolution of vulnerable love that deconstructs every wall.

Maundy Thursday - April 2 at 7:00pm
Wild Purification
From "payment" to "purification." Come experience the "Wild Wash" of a God who kneels in the mess and absorbs the world's toxins so we don't have to carry them alone.

Good Friday - April 3 at 11:00am
Grief Ritual
This is a contemplative time to sit with one another in our grief. The service is based on a practice from the Center for Action and Contemplation.

Resurrection of the Lord/Easter - April 5 at 11:00am
​The Wild Un-Taming
The tomb is empty and the "Re-Wilding" has begun! God refuses to be evicted from the earth, reclaiming the graveyard as a garden where new life is currently breaking through the pavement.
