Vacation Bible School at the “Hamilton Bible Beach”
Hamilton Presbyterian Church will bring the “beach” to Bethel Park with Vacation Bible School and its “Hamilton Bible Beach” program.
We all know how important water is to life, and it is an important part of many Bible teachings too. This year at vacation Bible school, the children will hear about 5 times when water was an important part of the Bible teachings. Also on each of the 5 days, the Bible study will correlate with a food snack, a craft project, music, and games. Hamilton Bible Beach, vacation Bible school will have all that the beach offers, lots of fun with water, sand and food but, more importantly and understanding of the teachings of the Bible as it is applied to the daily life of the child.
All this in a 5 day fun filled learning experience at 4500 Hamilton Road, 9 am to 12 Noon, August 5 - 9. Children ages 4 through those entering the 5th grade can be registered by calling the church office; 412-844-2722. The fee is $10/child or $25/family with 3 or more children and includes a t-shirt for each child. Hope to see you there, at the beach!

Hamilton Presbyterian Church Helps Make Your Summer Weekends Guilt Free and Longer
Here at Hamilton Presbyterian Church, located in Bethel Park at 4500 Hamilton Road, we are trying to help give you some weekend time back, and still give you the support and fellowship of weekly worship. For the summer months, our Saturday evening service will move to Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm. So if you find your weekends just don’t have enough hours in them to include morning or evening worship, give Thursday evening a try. If you find you need a pick me up as your week nears its end, give Thursday evening a try. If you find you’re away every weekend supporting your Kids or Grand Kids sports teams, give Thursday evenings a try. Of course you can still join us every Sunday morning in the summer at 10:00 am for our traditional Worship Service. Now the other option will be Thursday evening’s service, a more contemporary touch, with the same great music, the same great message, and the new date and time.
