Special Sanctuary Worship
May 12, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
This first bicentennial Sunday worship service will focus on our church’s past. We will hear two new pieces commissioned for our ELPC Handbell Choir, and dedicate the two new labyrinths for our Spiritual Life ministry.
Chaplain Dan Leger of Dor Hadash congregation will be our special guest, leading us in a prayer for peace. Also, there will be a special piano postlude of Gershwin’s Piano Concerto performed by Pastor Randy and friends.

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.
