Practicing the Greatest Commandment.

Love God, love yourself, love your neighbor - This is the sum of all the law and the prophets according to Jesus. In other words, this is what it means to be a disciple. Perhaps you don’t have a spiritual life, or maybe you haven’t been to church in years. Wherever your journey has lead you, you are welcome to be part of our community.

September Holy Hike

Saturday, September 20th 10am
We will be walking an easy 2.75 mile section of the Indian Creek Valley Trail (ICVT) from Melcroft to Indian Head. We will meet at the Melcroft trailhead off SR 711/SR 381, on the west side of the road, just south of the Melcroft Market. Once we arrive at the CW Resh Park in Indian Head, we will have Holy Communion. For those who do not want to walk back to their cars, we will have at least one vehicle to shuttle hikers back to the parking lot in Melcroft. Others can return to Melcroft via the ICVT.
For folks coming from Pittsburgh, take the PA Turnpike East to Exit 91 Donegal. Turn left at the light past the tollbooths, and drive east on SR 31 for about 2 miles. Turn right (just before Sarnelli’s Market) onto SR 711/381 South, and drive about 3.5 miles south to the parking area for the Melcroft trailhead. The parking area is on the right (west) side of the road and the trailhead is on the left (east) side of the road.
Dress for the weather but always include a hat and good hiking shoes, You should also bring bug spray, sunscreen, drinking water, and snacks if you need a little sustenance along the way.
More information about that trail can be found on the Mountain Watershed Association’s website
