Elim Extra for August 25, 2024
Pastor’s Reflection: The High Places
Last Sunday we heard that King Solomon, even before he built the Temple, loved to go up into the mountains to worship God “in the high places.” That’s where we are going this Sunday, as we head up to Eden for our church picnic! Elim will be CLOSED on Sunday so please let us know if you need a carpool. Bring a camp chair if you want a softer seat and a light jacket, as the weather forecast for Sunday morning is chilly. There is a five or ten minute delay at the mouth of Ogden Canyon so please leave yourself extra time. We will serve communion. All are welcome to join us at 10 a.m. with a meal following!

Pastor’s Reflection
Elim Extra for Sunday August 11, 2024
Pastor’s Reflection
King David never built the temple. Solomon did. But the story of how David’s baby son Solomon came to join his family is a wild one. On Sunday we will be hearing the third installment of this tragic but ultimately redemptive “Bible back story.”
Speaking of God’s house, please pray for our security grant application from FEMA, which is being decided on this week. Dave Thomas has done an amazing job of going after this whopping $180,000 to improve the safety of our building. Elim is blessed to have a long presence in our dynamic neighborhood. Let’s keep it that way!
And speaking of our neighborhood, this Sunday after church offers two amazing opportunities to go out and build relationships with our neighbors. At 11:30 we will cross the street to join the Ogden Christian Church for their fellowship hour to welcome their new pastor from Ireland, Pastor Jared! And at 2 pm, Bruce and Diane Jardine have arranged a tour of the gorgeous historic Ward building down the street from us on 21st. Please let me know if you can join!
with love,
Pr. Chelsea
