Last week Toney Salva, our Founding Pastor, announced that he will be stepping down as Lead Pastor of Discovery.  Toney has accepted the position of Northeast Regional Executive for Stadia Church Planting.  This job change will not require a move for the Salva family, so they will continue to call Discovery their home church.  Stacie Salva will continue to be our Children's Minister.   Our new Lead Pastor, Matt Mehaffey will begin speaking the Sunday after Easter.  Matt will commute from his home in Ohio until he and his family move to the area once his two sons complete the school year in June.  Please make sure you join us each week as we say thank you to Toney and welcome Matt and his family!

On Sunday, Toney and several members from Discovery are assisting our daughter church get started in the South Hills!  One Church is holding its first ever services at the Chartiers Valley Intermediate School at 10AM.  Please be in prayer for Brandon and Danielle Stephenson as they lead this new church and for people to be drawn to the message of Jesus.

When was the last time you were in awe? What was it that made you drop your mouth in wonder?  Perhaps it was the birth of a child, a beautiful mountain range or the sound of the surf?  Chances are it was quite a while ago that you felt any wonder or awe.  It is so easy to become desensitized and really miss the "wow" moments in life.  This Easter, what if we rediscovered and experienced the greatest wonder of life?  What if we really stopped and considered that Jesus is alive!

Children's Pre-Baptism Class

All 3rd-5th grade students, along with a parent, are invited to attend this two-week class on baptism.  The class, led by Stacie Salva, will be an interactive time to help children understand what it means to follow Jesus and have a relationship with him.  It will be on Sunday mornings during the first service.  Booklets will be handed out prior to class.  If you would like to attend the class or have questions, please mark your "flap" on Sunday or contact Stacie.

Coping To Thriving (Special Needs Support Group)

Monday, March 19 *  6:30 PM

  

Through events like A Night to Remember and A Day to Remember, we celebrate kids, men, and women in our community who are sometimes overlooked due to a variety of special needs. We want to continue to serve that community on a regular basis by providing a space for parents of special needs children to encourage and learn from one another.  Many families are simply coping with their unique challenges, but we want to help them start to thrive.  If you'd like to learn more, contact Tracy Mahmoud.
