Elim Extra for Sunday July 7, 2024

Pastor’s Reflection

 

Happy Fourth of July! This Sunday, Elim will be closed and there will be no Facebook livestream. You are invited to worship in the park together with First Presbyterian Church, at Monroe Park on Sunday July 7th at 10 a.m. This is our first outdoor worship in quite a while, and promises accessible parking, good shade, two pastors who are excited about ecumenical collaboration, and a luncheon following (Gloria, Joan, and First Pres are providing the food). Please come early at 9:45 a.m. to get a parking spot, or if you’re running late, there’s plenty of free parking on 29th Street. Monroe Park is near Elim, at the corner of Monroe and 30th. I get to do the children’s message, so I’m pretty excited about bringing my goofy self out to worship in God’s creation.

 

Backing up, on July 3rd (this Wednesday) we will be having Evening Prayer on the Lawn at Elim at 7:30 p.m. This short, informal service will be great for kids, pets, and making new friends. Bring a guitar, drum, lawn/patio chair if you have one, or just bring yourself and spend time thanking God for your day. Evening Prayer on the Lawn will continue every Wednesday in July.

 

Enjoy all the juicy goodness summer has to offer!

 

with love, Pr. Chelsea
