preschool recommendations?
by Meg Daly 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for preschools they have been happy with that are nearby? I'm also curious what typical wait times there are (if any?) for preschools and how far in advance you need to reach out to places. Thanks! Meg

follow up - water pressure decrease
by Meg Daly 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

Hi Neighbors, Many people who live on Highland and Farragut between Stanton and Jackson similarly reported their water pressure decreased after the work the water company did a few weeks ago. One person said she called PGH2O who sent someone to assess and they did not care/did not address the issue. I saw on the listserve there will be a meeting with PGH2O on Thursday, Nov 21, 7 pm at St. Andrew's Church. I am unable to attend, but that may be the best bet to get this addressed if someone/a few people can voice this concern at the meeting. I hope this update helps! -Meg Original message: Did anyone else on Highland near Jackson experience a decrease in their water pressure after the city did some work on the water line a few weeks ago? Our shower pressure dropped significantly right after that work was done. I am wondering if that was the cause or if we should look for other sources. Thanks, Meghan

I'll be there signing copies of the game and I also have extra promo card packs to offer anyone who buys the game during the event.

We Invite You To Pittsburgh Seminary's Upcoming BookTalk
by Robin Menard 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Hello neighbors - Pittsburgh Seminary invites you to join us for the following BookTalk, in person in the Barbour Library, or online: Dec. 5, 5:00 p.m. BookTalk: Season's Greetings - Christmas Letters From Those Who Were There<https://www.pts.edu/BookTalks> with Ruth L. Boling '24 at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Free, registration required. Rediscover the beloved Christmas story this year through the words of those who were there. From King Herod to the Magi, the Innkeeper, the midwife - and even Jesus himself - hear the dramatic stories of the Bible characters forever changed by the miracle that took place in Bethlehem so long ago. In the Advent devotional Season's Greetings<https://store.upperroom.org/product/season-s-greetings>, meet 12 biblical characters - some well-known, others less so - who share what Christmas meant to them through personal letters written to 21st-century readers. As we hear the multiple perspectives of what Jesus' birth and life meant for these characters of old, we're invited to ask what it means for us, now, today. Each chapter ends with a prayer, reflection questions, and journaling prompts, making this new resource an enriching Advent companion for individuals, small groups, and church leaders alike. We hope to see you there! Robin Menard Pittsburgh Theological Seminary 616 North Highland Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206
