Gospel Weekend featured in "News from Presbytery"

The Good News from Sixth Presbyterian & Bethesda United Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh: Sixth Presbyterian Church and Bethesda United Presbyterian Church welcomed more than 250 people to worship together on October 25 at the close of a rousing and spirited gospel weekend at Sixth led by Dr. Anthony Leach, professor of music from Penn State University.

Nearly 100 people sang all day on Saturday, learning nine anthems and songs, and enjoying lunch through a grant from the Amos 5:24 Task Force. Singers formed a gospel choir for Sixth's Sunday worship, including folks from Bethesda, Bethel and East Liberty churches and others.

Rev. Eugene Blackwell preached and Rev. Karen Battle joined Rev. Mary Louise McCullough of Sixth to lead a dynamic worship service, all made possible through a Transformation grant from Pittsburgh Presbytery. The weekend, especially worship, was truly transformational!
