Looking for an alternative to the usual frenetic New Year's Eve festivities? Why not join us at Allegheny's annual Open House and Meditation Service! This traditional event has been a favorite for those who prefer a more personal and reflective New Year's Eve. Join us from 8:00 until 11:00 for conversation, readings, food, drink and possibly song. Stay for the whole time, or just stop by. If you can, bring a food item, beverage and your favorite poem or song.

11:00 PM - Meditation Service

The Meditation Service begins at 11:00 and offers a reflective pause on the cusp of the New Year. The countdown and first toast follow at midnight on the church steps.

Services at Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church begin at 10:30 am.

* Please allow extra time on Steeler Sundays. Parking in the neighborhood
will start to fill about 2 hours before the game.
