SUMMARY:ELPC Connections Potluck Lunch
DESCRIPTION:“What if we heard the voice of God saying ‘How can you be lost when I am right here?’” \nWith those words from Pastor Michael’s sermon on September 14 ringing in our hurting hearts\, we invite you to celebrate our Connections Ministry’s 2025–2026 season kick-off with an ELPC Connections Potluck Lunch following Sanctuary worship on Sunday\, October 19\, in the Good Samaritan Room! \nConnections events build bonds\, forge friendships\, and create community that heals the disconnected\, the fearful and the lost—including us—through monthly\, small-group activities. \nJesus as shepherd rejoices when the lost—an unseen\, unknown\, or uncertain person—is found. Connections—a home meal\, a concert\, a hike\, etc.—celebrates when we beloved folks find each other. \nJesus welcomed those accepted and rejected by society and so do we. That’s why we added an intentional LGBTQIA+ affinity group to affirm Pastor Michael’s words that “divine love always seeks us out.” \nEven if you’ve yet to register for a Connections group\, we’d love to get to know you at the ELPC Connections Potluck Lunch. For planning purposes\, please sign up online. \n  \nSign Up \n  \nChrist always had room at his table; so do we at ELPC!

SUMMARY:Contemplative Retreat: Giving Our Deaths Away
DESCRIPTION:From Friday–Sunday\, October 31–November 2\, join us for a Spiritual Life retreat on Halloween\, All Saints Day\, and the Day of the Dead at the Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center in Pulaski\, Pennsylvania. Amid our normal retreat rhythms of solitude and community\, silence and conversation\, stillness and activity\, we will explore our mortality\, our hopes and fears surrounding death\, and what our tradition(s) have to say about death and eternal communion we have with saints and ancestors. \nAccording to the Spanish mystic John of the Cross\, we have three essential struggles in life: 1) To get our lives together\, 2) To give our lives away\, and 3) To give our deaths away. \nWhat is asked of us in the first two struggles is more obvious and captured in the first half of life. But what does it mean to give our deaths away in the later parts of our life? How we approach death and dying leaves a legacy\, a particular spirit\, which either nurtures or haunts those left behind. If we die at peace with ourselves\, loved ones\, the world\, and with God\, then like Jesus\, we will leave behind a spirit that nourishes\, warms\, consoles\, and gives our loved one’s sacred permission to be at peace. How do we do that? What are our stories\, fears\, concerns\, and anxieties that inhibit us from giving our death away. \nJoin us as we sit with these questions\, listen to God and ourselves\, and explore this on retreat in community with one another. \nRSVP to Norma Meyer at 412.441.3800 x211 by Sunday\, October 19. Cost options are listed below. Contact Pastor BJ to discuss scholarships. \nOne Night \n\nFriday–Saturday or Saturday–Sunday | Private Room and Common Bath | $100\n\nTwo Nights \n\nFriday–Sunday | Private Room/Common Bath | $150\n\nOne Day \n\nSaturday | $50
