First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood will open its doors to anyone needing to escape the heat as temperatures rise throughout the week.  Our Gathering Place and Lounge will be open to all and the air conditioners will be running to provide relief on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, June 30, July 1, and July 2 from 9AM to 5PM.  Get some work done at the tables in the Gathering Place, or relax on the couches and chairs in the Lounge.  Power strips will be provided for charging of devices, and the church also has guest WiFi available.

​The Community Dinners are back! 
June 3, July 1, August 5, September 2 
Save the Dates: The First Wednesdays of June, July, August, and September at 6:00PM we’ll be firing up the grill on the side lawn (weather permitting – social room if inclement weather). And, as usual, they’re FREE! So bring your family, friends and neighbors for good food and fellowship!!! We start serving at 6:00 and go until the food runs out or the crowd dies down, whichever happens first! 
Help is always needed with set-up, side dishes, desserts, serving, and tear-down. Contact the Church Office to let us know how you can help us make these important community outreach events happen successfully! 

​We are excited to bring you year two of our reimagined Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 13 from 11am-2pm! If you love strawberries, this is the place to be. From chocolate-dipped strawberries and refreshing strawberry lemonade to the Pittsburgh favorite, strawberry pretzel salad, there will be strawberry treats galore. And don’t worry, the classic strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream and whipped cream will once again be served from the church side lawn. This year’s festival will also feature live acoustic music from local Edgewood band MilePost6, lawn games for kids and kids-at-heart, temporary tattoos, fresh strawberries sold by the bunch, and a bake sale filled with homemade goodies. If your tummy is rumbling for something a little more savory, enjoy a hot dog fresh off the grill. We hope you’ll join us for a delicious day of food, music, fun, and community on Saturday, June 13th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. — or until the strawberries sell out! The event is rain or shine. “Bring your neighbors, invite your friends, and celebrate the sweetness of summer with us!” If you would like to volunteer or donate baked goods for the bake sale, please contact Rhonda Appesos. 

​Vocal Confluence, Pittsburgh's All-Voice Barbershop Chorus, is proud to announce its 2026 summer show: "Why We're Here | An A Cappella Celebration of Why We Sing."  Shows will be held Saturday, June 13 at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 14 at 3:00pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood.

Every song in our repertoire has a purpose, and every person in our chorus has a reason for singing each song. Whether we are seeking to inspire to make our world a better place, or we are trying not to take ourselves too seriously, every piece of music has a story. Join us to hear why WE sing.

We follow a “Pay What You Can” ticketing model; seats are first-come, first-served and donation-only. We hope this allows as many people to have access to our music as possible. Our show will also be live-streamed on YouTube. 

Vocal Confluence is Pittsburgh's only all-voice barbershop chorus, and competes internationally under the Barbershop Harmony Society organization. We have been hired to sing at various Pittsburgh events and concert series, including Fridays at the Frick, Bach, Beethoven, and Brunch, and even at The Pavilion at Star Lake to open for Foreigner.
