Should I Come to Church or Stay Home?
The landscape of life during this season of COVID continues to change! New variants of the virus continue to emerge, and CDC guidelines have shifted. This leaves many of us wondering if we should come to worship and learn in person, or engage in ministry remotely. While each person has different needs, risk factors, and hopes, we invite you to ask yourselves these questions prior to coming to any in-person gatherings at ELPC. Read More

Important Update for Children and Youth Ministries
In light of the current surge of the Omicron variant in our region, ELPC is pausing all indoor, in-person ministry to children and youth. We regret that conditions simply aren’t safe enough for us to gather as we had hoped, but plan to continually monitor and reevaluate this situation so that we can gather in person as soon as it is safer to do so.
In the meantime, Church School classes for youth in grades 6–12, as well as club one sixteen for youth in grades 7–12, will meet via Zoom. And plans are in the works for intergenerational offerings to help us stay connected during this season.

Pastoral Message | January 2022
Welcome to January 2022! There is so much energy around celebrating the holidays in the month of December that we often forget to extend the same sentiments to its successor, January. Sure, we say “Happy New Year,” but that comment often only has a shelf-life of a few days. Pretty quickly we find ourselves in the gray days of January. Maybe there’s some snow on the ground. But it’s basically back to school and back to work as usual. Read More
