SUMMARY:Shaping Our Future Gathering- April 19\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us for our first Shaping Our Future Gathering. This will be a meaningful opportunity for us to come together as a community to listen deeply to one another and to God. Through guided conversations\, we will reflect on our shared story\, name what matters most in this season\, and begin imagining the future God is calling us toward. Everyone’s voice matters. Whether you’ve been here for decades or just recently arrived\, your perspective and experience is an essential part of this journey as we help shape the next chapter of ELPC. \nBackground:  In February\, ELPC’s Session voted to begin a strategic visioning process with guidance from Michelle Snyder from the Center for Healthy Churches. Michelle previous worked with ELPC in 2023\, facilitating the Congregational Assessment Tool (CAT) which aided the Pastoral Nominating Committee’s work in calling Pastor Michael as Senior Pastor. The strategic visioning process is the next stage of our work together that will aid us in developing a three-year strategic plan. \nLunch and childcare (RSVP by April 12) will be provided. ZOOM is an option as well for those joining online. \nPlease register here:
