Annual Events

Below is a brief summary of the Annual Events held by the Pittsburgh Protestant Reformed Church (PPRC).

For specific dates and times see 'CALENDAR' under the 'EVENTS' tab.

Spring seminar or special program

In the Spring of each year, PPRC hosts a lecture, or other special program, to which we invite the public.

On Thursday, July 10, 2025, Seminarian Isaac Vanbaren presented a lecture titled 'Witnessing the Law and Gospel.'    It was held in the sanctuary of our church followed by a reception in the basement.

Children's program

At the end of Catechism Classes each spring, the students, ranging in age from 4 to 14, host an evening where individual and class projects are presented and on display.  Their imagination and ingenuity always amazes!  Light refreshments are served.

Memorial day picnic

Memorial Day sees PPRC members, family, and friends at a local park enjoying fellowship, food, and fun.  Children ride bikes, play games, enjoy a water slide while adults play tennis, basketball, deck hockey, baseball, or board games.  Fellowship and food are plentiful!

reformation day lecture

Each year, on or near Reformation Day (October 31st) PPRC hosts a free lecture on a topic pertaining to the Protestant Reformation.  Presented by our Pastor, Reverend Jonathan Mahtani, or a guest Pastor, this lecture illuminates the history of the great Reformation.  A question-and-answer session follows.  The public is invited to this event and refreshments are served afterward.

This year, our 27th Annual Reformation Day lecture was hosted by Messiah Bible Church in Zelienople, PA on October 29, 2024.   Reverend Jonathan Mahtani spoke on the topic of ‘Sola Fide.’  Messiah Bible Church provided a meal at 6:00 pm and the lecture followed at 7:00 pm.  This event was free and open to the public.
