Rummage Sale
Saturday May 02, 2009
8:00 AM
Location: Hot Metal Parking Lot at 2700 Jane St. ; 15203
Saturday, May 2nd
8 a.m. - Noon
Hot Metal Parking Lot (2700 Jane St.; 15203)
If you want to help, please contact Lauren Wolcott: lauren.wolcott@gmail.com
What you can do:
1) Work at one Drop-Off Night: Thurs 4/30 & Fri 5/1. 5pm - 8pm at Hot Metal (2700 Jane St.)
2) Work at the Sale. Anytime from 7am set-up to 1pm cleanup
3) Bake Something: we'll have a little bake sale table right in with the rummage sale
4) Donate Gently Used Items (not junk!!): If you've moved or started spring cleaning & come across things you don't need anymore, maybe they could find a good home at our sale.
All proceeds will benefit the Mission Trip to Mexico. We are still going-- just at a later date! See below for details.
Through much prayer, discussion and advice, we have decided to postpone our mission trip to Mexico which was to take place May 10-17. I'm sure most of you would concur that in light of the situation there, it would be best not to take the risk. We are still planning to go at a later date. Because we decided to postpone, we will lose about $3225 because the Mexican airline that we were using for the last leg of the trip will not reschedule the flights or refund the money. If you would like to donate to help us cover that loss, please just send your donation to 2000 E. Carson St. #300; Pittsburgh, PA 15203.

The Table
Every Tuesday
5:30 PM
Location: Brashear Association at 2005 Sarah Street; Pgh, PA 15203
The Table is a free meal that is offered to everyone. We believe some of the best conversations happen around a dinner table, and so we have offered this meal every Tuesday for the past two years.
We have meals scheduled until June 23, 2009. Then we will be taking a break for the summer because of all the transition going on with Hot Metal. We are moving into our new office at 27th & Jane on Friday, July 10, and as of that date, all of the Table supplies will in the church basement. The church is not slated to be open until the fall, and so, we will not be able to serve the Tuesday dinner until the building is open. As we get closer to the fall, we'll be able to tell when we can begin serving the meal again.
Let’s enjoy these last few weeks of June. Invite your friends & family to The Table, help out , share a meal and in return, I believe that you will be blessed by this community. I know I certainly have and I am so grateful for all of your help along the way.

Response to Haiti Disaster
Every Sunday
9:30 AM
Location: Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community at 2700 Jane St.; 15203
We will take a special offering at both services on Sunday to send to Haiti. 100% of the funds collected will go to relief efforts.
We will make kits to send to Haiti. Place these items inside a resealable one-gallon plastic bag & then bring them to 2700 Jane St. on Sunday:
1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", No kitchen towels)
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
$1.00 to purchase toothpaste (toothpaste is purchased in bulk & added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)
Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more.
Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
We will have handouts for you on Sunday to take home as a reminder for what you need to put together a kit.
If you would like to make a trip to Haiti to help with the relief effort, please contact us. We will gather the names of those that are interested, and if the opportunity arises for a group from Hot Metal to go to Haiti, we will then make plans.
Let's all do what we can, and in the meantime...pray. Pray that peace may begin anew, that hope be restored, and that help may be swift and comforting.

1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
$1.00 to purchase toothpaste (toothpaste is purchased in bulk & added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)
Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more.
Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
We will have handouts for you on Sunday to take home as a reminder for what you need to put together a kit.
If you would like to make a trip to Haiti to help with the relief effort, please contact us. We will gather the names of those that are interested, and if the opportunity arises for a group from Hot Metal to go to Haiti, we will then make plans.
Let's all do what we can, and in the meantime...pray. Pray that peace may begin anew, that hope be restored, and that help may be swift and comforting.

Bible Fight Club
Every Thursday
7:00 PM
Location: In the Blood Tattoo Shop at 2005 E. Carson St.; 15203
Ever notice how two people can read the same Bible and come to different conclusions about what it means? At Bible Fight Club, we encourage this.
Each week we pick a different topic and debate what the Bible really says about it. Pick a side and jump into the fray. By the end, everyone has a deeper understanding of different opinions and who knows - maybe you’ll even change your mind.

Breaking Chains: An Abolitionist Bake Sale
Saturday July 31, 2010
6:00 PM
Location: Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community at 2700 Jane Street Pgh, PA 15203
There are at least 27 million slaves worldwide. Between 14,000 and 17,500 people are trafficked into our own country every year. We use the end products of slavery every day - from the food we eat to the clothes on our backs. On July 31, Hot Metal will host an event to raise awareness about modern slavery. Joni Watson will give a presentation highlighting the ways we can help to end slavery. There will also be a bake sale to raise money to send to the non-profit organization FreeTheSlaves.net. If you would like to do some abolitionist baking, see Joni during lunch today to sign up: include what you will bake, how many, and a suggested donation for each. Everyone else: please join us at 6pm this Saturday and remember to bring cash!

So, it turns out that owning our own building is a lot of work. Thanks to everyone who has already put in time fixing up our building in order to make it a great space for worship and ministry. We have another opportunity to serve in this way on June 23 @ 9:30 am. There will be plenty of skilled and unskilled tasks to be done, including but not limited to: digging, pouring concrete, installing paver stones, gardening, hanging light shades, electrical work, and carrying both light and heavy objects around! Really, there is something for everyone. Hope to see you there.
