Personal Perspective: The Chapel Market Neighbors’ Dinner is Beautiful!
by Sung C. Yoo
Without understanding my role as a volunteer table host, I calmly entered the Good Samaritan Room with hidden curiosity about the Chapel Market dinner, held monthly by ELPC’s Neighbors Committee.
The minute I entered, I saw many volunteers who were busy setting up round tables with colorful tablecloths, placemats, silverware, china, and centerpieces with fresh flowers. The whole setting looked like a formal restaurant, which I did not expect for this occasion. A bit puzzled, I asked one volunteer, “Who is coming for this dinner?” The answer was “Neighbors,” meaning hungry people in the East Liberty neighborhood. Read More

Pastoral Message | March 2026
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!
—Langston Hughes, excerpt from “As I Grew Older”
Langston Hughes once wrote of a dream blocked by shadows and a dream pressed down by walls that felt immovable. His cry feels honest for this season. There are real walls in our world. Real shadows. Rather than pretending the shadows are not there, Lent is about daring to believe that light can still break through. Read More
