As an artist, Ben Schachter is fascinated by the intricate yet logical systems that have been developed to assist Jews to live a religious life within contemporary society. Seeing a similarity between these systems and the strategies employed by conceptual artists to create systems that determine the form of their art, Schachter applies some of the rules of Jewish living, such as being kosher and non-kosher, to contemporary art.

In his 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning family drama, Buried Child, Sam Shepard takes a macabre look at one American Midwestern family with a very dark secret. This powerful and brilliant play probes deep into the disintegration of the American Dream. When Vince brings his girlfriend, Shelly, home to meet his family, she is at first charmed by the picturesque farm house - that's before she actually meets his crazy family--his ranting, alcoholic grandparents (Dodge and Halie) and their two sons: Tilden, a hulking semi-idiot, and Bradley, who has lost one leg to a chain saw. Strangely, no one seems to remember Vince at first, and they treat him as an intruder. Eventually, however, they seem to accept him as a part of their violently dysfunctional family. When the truth is shockingly unearthed, will the family be able to move beyond its dark curse?

For centuries, whales have captured the imagination. People have marvelled at them, hunted them, and passionately protected them. Now you have an opportunity to explore the world of these amazing sea creatures, through a unique blend of science and storytelling. Whales | Tohorā is a traveling exhibit created by Te Papa, New Zealand's National Museum. "Tohorā" is the Māori word for "whale;" the Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Whales | Tohorā presents stories from conservationists, scientists, whalers, and even whale riders. There is an animated film of the legendary Pacific islander Tinirau and his pet whale – a story of treachery and revenge. There are tales of extraordinary encounters with whales, and of whale strandings. The exhibition presents a rich assortment of objects from Te Papa's whale collection – one of the largest in the world. Skeletons over 54 feet (18 meters) long are displayed, along with fossils, models, and specimens from many whale species. Beautiful taonga (cultural treasures) made from highly prized whale bone and whale teeth give evidence of the revered status of these animals.

Lebanon Presbyterian Church invites you to join us for our Contemporary PRAISE! worship service on Sunday evenings at 6 PM. This upbeat service is designed to appeal to those who may not be available to come to church Sunday mornings and who might enjoy a Christ-centered worship service featuring contemporary Christian music, drama, video, and testimonies. The Sunday night PRAISE! service is a great way to become acquainted with LPC. The sermon message is different from the morning service so that those who wish to attend both services are not subjected to a repeat sermon. The service is designed to be more of a relaxed worship atmosphere where folks can dress casually. Our worship band performs live contemporary Christian music throughout the service. The lyrics to the songs are displayed on two large projector screens at the front of the sanctuary which allows the congregation to actively participate in worship if they so choose. If you want to hear what this service sounds like, feel free to visit the media area of our website at http://www.lebanonpc.org/media.html to listen to the worship music or sermons. We invite you to check out this worship service each Sunday evening at 6 PM. And, if you have a talent such as the ability to play a musical instrument, sing or act, you are more than welcome to be a part of the service and use that talent to worship the Lord!!! Free snacks are available in the lobby after the service where attendees can meet and mingle. Also, our senior youth ministry meets on Sunday evenings at 7 PM, making it convenient for them to attend the PRAISE! service before heading downstairs to youth group. We hope to see you soon on Sunday nights. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! Visit our website http://www.lebanonpc.org for more information regarding our ministries. We are located across from the Allegheny County Airport, next to Dean Honda and minutes from Century III Mall. Our address is: Lebanon Presbyterian Church 2800 Old Elizabeth Road West Mifflin, PA 15122 Our facility is wheelchair accessible.
