Sanctuary Worship

Every day—but most especially on this World Communion Sunday—we strive to live as a community of mutuality, concern, equality, and love. On this day, we will welcome the Rev. Paul Roberts, president of the Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary, Atlanta, as our guest. Rev. Roberts will lead a combined adult Church School class at 9:45 am, and preach at our Sanctuary worship service at 11 am. We also will receive the Peace and Global Witness Offering, which supports a range of PC(USA) ministries devoted to peacemaking and reconciliation.

This service is held in the Sanctuary on the first floor, with an organ prelude before the service. We extend a warm welcome to our Latino friends and include several prayers in our service bulletin in English and Spanish. This is ELPC’s largest service, offering a traditional worship service with thought-provoking sermons, and the music of our Chancel Choir and organ to reinforce the spirit of praise and reverence. Like many of the great cathedrals of Europe, the compelling power and beauty of our historic, gothic-style Sanctuary enhances the spiritual experience. Children are invited to the chancel steps to hear their own message with one of the pastors. The service is led by ELPC’s senior pastor or other members of the pastoral staff. Special guest pastors or speakers periodically lead the service.
