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
White Christian Nationalism: The Realities We Face
This video is amazing to hear. But I trust Diana Butler Bass that what she says, has lived, and has researched is true. She speaks about the values and power of the Religious Right and Christian Nationalism, and how the evangelist movement has changed over the years.
Diana Butler Bass is a leading scholar on American religion and an insightful authority on religious trends in the United States. She is the author of 11 books. Bass earned a PhD in religious studies from Duke University in 1991.
Join us in person or contact Gwen Puza for Zoom details.
Soul Food | Good Samaritan Room and Zoom
We’ll continue discussing our new book, Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship, by Fr. Gregory Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries.
New participants are welcome in person, online, or by phone. If you’re interested in joining our class, email the Rev. Joe Hajdu.
