June Holy Hike

Saturday, June 20 10am
This next hike of the season will be held at Bushy Run Battlefield, located near Jeannette, Pa. We will hike the one mile loop Edge Hill Trail This hike is easy and YOUNG FAMILY FRIENDLY.
During the hike, we hold a service of Holy Communion, stopping along the trail to read the scripture and say the prayers, while sharing the Eucharist at the end of the hike or at another appropriate setting along the trail. It’s a lovely way to have a worship service!
After the hike, spend time at the Visitor Center, stay for a tour, or walk the other trails on the property.
If you have questions about any of this season’s hikes, please contact ministry team member Katie Ong.
