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.

Grades 4–6 | Room 211
Grades 7–12 | Second Floor Parlor
Journey with Scripture | Fellowship Room
Join us as the Rev. Henk Bossers leads an examination of psalms and stained glass.
Parenting Circle | Room 213
We share experiences, resources, prayer, and scripture as we explore how our faith builds and nourishes our family lives, as well as nurtures our parent/child relationships. Anyone involved in parenting (singles, couples, adoptive parents, step-parents, grandparents, guardians, mentors, etc.) are welcome to join us.
Seekers | Garth Overlook Room and Zoom
Future of Faith
At Yale Divinity School, Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening, and Ross Douthat, author of Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics, discuss the future of religion. Concerning the collapse of religious life in our churches today, Diana Butler Bass says that “conventional, comforting Christianity has failed.” She sees patterns today that are very similar to other periods of great religions change, such as the Protestant Reformation.
Join us in person or contact Gwen Puza for Zoom details.
Soul Food | Good Samaritan Room and Zoom
Join us for a gathering & preview session.
New participants are welcome in person, online, or by phone. If you’re interested in joining our class, email the Rev. Joe Hajdu.
