My parents and I attended Evangelical Congregational Church in McKeesport, PA. at Walnut St. &…read moreOlive Ave. The pastor was Reverend John F. C. Green. He retired in 1966 and still attended till his passing in 1969. The church and its building are still in existence though a fraction in attendance from what it was then. There also was First Congregational Church in McKeesport on Evans Ave. It was pastored by Rev. George Kemp. The building remains but is closed. When Dr. Green retired, three candidates were invited to preach to be considered as his replacement. Rev. Kauffman (don't recall first name) a Rev. Osterweiss and the above mentioned Rev. Kemp. I had met Rev. Kauffman and his beautiful wife at church camp in central Pennsylvania called Hartman Center. This was 1962. He and his wife had made quite an impression on me and though it was now four years later, I was quite excited that he could become our pastor. On three consecutive weeks, all three spoke and Rev. Kauffman was outstanding. I'm sure he would have been selected but before the vote could be taken, he withdrew his consideration. Looking back, this was a crucial turning point in the life of Evangelical Congregational Church of McKeesport. Rev. Osterweiss was selected over Rev. Kemp. And though things cruised along with Rev. Osterweiss, there were a number of things found out about him later and many including my parents and myself stopped attending. We kept our memberships and around 1972 I think, Rev. Osterweiss was voted out and that church has never been the same. Now, what does this all have to do with South Hills Congregational Church? The passed over Rev. Kemp decided to leave the smaller First Cong. in McKeesport and start a new church in the South Hills. This was 1966. Our Congregational Churches at that time had youth groups that met at each other's churches from time to time. We also attended church camp together and so we knew a number of kids from the other Congregational churches. I recall Rev. Kemp and his wife well and also their daughter Nancy. They were the original pastor and family that started South Hills Congregational Church. I recall being there the summer of '67 for a youth rally. At present ( or whenever the picture was taken) that what was the church property has a sign on masonry that says "Sprout; center for emotional growth and development." I've said enough. Hope this brings back some memories for others that attended or visited there when that building proclaimed Christ. I'm supposed to rate my own review?

The Quakers own the building, but they strive to make it a great community space. There's a terrific vibe to the building, part due to the commitment they have for peacemaking and social justice.

The people are friendly, welcoming and diverse. There is no set creed for our type of Quakerism, so you mostly get to work out your own religious views in the way you feel suits you best and the way that speaks to your own view of things. Generally, there is a big focus on peacemaking, simplicity, equality, and concern and care for all people in the world. After Meeting there is Hospitality Time (tasty treats, snacks, fruit and veg platters, free trade coffee, et cetera) and that's when everyone meets and chats. They have a library that anyone can borrow from, to learn more about Quaker beliefs, history, and viewpoints, as well as other various topics of concern, like environmentalism. Some Quakers consider themselves Christians, but others do not. A few borrow some of their traditions and ways of thinking from Buddhism and other faiths. Some people attend Quaker Meeting but also attend Jewish Synagogue, or a UU church, or other worship community. Anyhow, it is something different, come check it out some Sunday morning if you would like to. The main Meeting for Worship starts promptly at 10:30 a.m. so it is best to arrive at least 5 minutes earlier than that. There is a small parking lot, and the public bus also goes past (I think the #75 route does directly to it, and many other Oakland busses will get you pretty close, too, so there are many bus route options).

I have been here for a special event Mass (a speaker, relic blessing and Mass) and a regular Sunday Mass. Both experiences were wonderful. The church itself is stunning. So many beautiful things to look at and experience. As someone with Polish heritage, I especially liked the area that had statues and prayer cards for Pope John Paul II and St. Faustina, probably the most well known saints. For their traditional Mass, there is often still a song or two sung in Polish. I unfortunately never learned the language, but it instantly brings me a warm, comforting feeling hearing the language my grandparents spoke and thinking of all the great Polish traditions. People at the church are also extremely friendly and welcoming. You could tell they know the regulars versus the visitors because two different greeters asked us if we had any questions or needed any guidance or direction (it is a large church with bathrooms downstairs, so I can see why they are being proactive). A beautiful space filled with beautiful people. Definitely recommend participating in Mass here, or, if you aren't Catholic or religious, just stopping in to admire its beauty.
