Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.

First Friday Art Walk-5-8pm

Come & Listen – live music for piano, organ, flute and more

Come & Walk – our candlelit Labyrinth is open to all as a place to ponder, to meditate, to pray, to dance (weather permitting)

Come & Enjoy – the beauty of our historic Church, built in 1895 and listed on the National Register of Historical Buildings. Also, enjoy our Art Exhibit. The first art installation will be in the sanctuary from May-July and is honoring the theme: REBIRTH. It will feature several local artists, including Robert Koch, Vivian McAleavy, Ron Kendall, and Kaz Chandler.

May Artwork -- Morgan Marlowe will be the guest pop-up artist for May’s First Friday Art Walk and several of her artworks will be displayed. Using acrylic paint, Morgan Marlowe is primarily interested in art as a form of anthropology in the most literal sense. Anthropos in Greek means human, anthropology is the study of humans. She is interested in playing along the line of what is universally human. By how much or how little can a shape, a gesture of paint or a color evoke an emotion? Or provoke an association with something from the physical world? We as humans see faces from dots and a line, we understand animals and trees sometimes from the most vague color and gesture combinations. Studies show we find blue calming and trustworthy, red sensual or alarming. The fact that this is true says something to be about what it is to be human. She enjoys working in abstract with bold color but will venture toward forms of realism. She is prone to subjective realities rather than objective ones, always exploring the line of what she can provoke or evoke in the viewer by how much or little is included on the canvas.

All are welcome. Church members will be on hand to answer your questions about Trinity.
