Here’s what’s happening this week in worship at ELPC.
Palm Sunday Journey Worship | Sunday, 8:45 am
An interactive, energetic service for those seeking a fresh encounter with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Michael will preach from Mark 11:1–10 (Inclusive Bible). Join us in our new Journey worship location, the Chapel. At this time, we are unable to livestream the service.
Palm Sunday Sanctuary Worship | Sunday, 11 am
Our largest service, with music from the Chancel Choir and an organ prelude prior to the service. Pastor Michael will preach from Mark 11:1–10 (Inclusive Bible) (Inclusive Bible) and deliver his sermon, “The Good News is… Inspiring Us to Act.”
Maundy Thursday | 7 pm
Maundy Thursday invites us into the story of the Last Supper, where Jesus gathered with his friends and showed us what love looks like yet again.
Join us for a heartfelt, inclusive service with music, poetry, scripture, communion, and a symbolic washing ritual. Through an emotional Stripping of the Church, we will ponder what it must have felt like when the disciples were stripped of their hope as Jesus was unjustly arrested by the Roman authorities.
Come just as you are with your joys and sorrows. Come with your hopes and fears as we experience the story of Holy Week.
Good Friday Service | Friday, 12 pm & 7 pm
Join us on Good Friday as we journey with Jesus through his final hours—not just to remember his suffering, but to reflect on the suffering still present in our world today. Through scripture, prayer, music, and personal reflection, we’ll name injustice, confess complicity, and renew our commitment to love and liberation.
Easter Sunday Worship | Sunday, 8:45 am & 11 am
Alleluia, Christ is risen! Easter is more than lilies and alleluias. Easter is the promise that love gets the final word, that stones can be rolled away, and that hope rises even from the gloomiest places.
With hope-filled music, sacred scripture, and an inclusive celebration of the Lord’s Supper, we will proclaim a message of good news for all people. Whether you come with deep faith or hurting hearts, you are welcome in this sacred space. All are invited!
Easter Sunday services begin at 8:45 am and 11 am on April 20. Join us as we celebrate Resurrection Sunday!
