Here’s a list of what’s happening this week in our Church School classes. We offer Christian Education classes for persons of all ages, from infancy through adulthood, on Sundays, 9:45–10:45 am, unless otherwise noted. Read more about our adult classes and children and youth offerings.
Children and Youth
Our children and youth are deeply spiritual people with great theological questions. To foster these gifts and to help students learn the stories, vocabulary, and actions of the Christian life in a loving community, ELPC offers Church School classes for kids and youth from pre-K–grade 12. Class locations are listed below. Parents, please register your child online. Email Sara Hackett for more details.

Journey with Scripture | Fellowship Room
For the next few months, we will relate both the Psalms and the liturgical calendar’s Gospel of Mark with the “Heavenly Hosts.” The Scriptures will expand and deepen our understanding of our “Reformed, Ever Reforming” legacy.

We gather weekly to talk about raising children in our faith. This is an informal time where we can chat, drink our coffee, and share snacks—all while talking about our experiences parenting. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Heather.

Working Theology for Black Lives Matter
The Rev. Dr. Asa J. Lee, president of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, will be with us in person. Drawing from John 1:1–14, Rev. Dr. Lee will discuss a working theology for Black Lives Matter. What does “and the Word became flesh and lived among us” mean in the context of this important social movement?
