Hi EPC Friends and Members!

I’m on vacation this week and out of the office until next Wednesday, December 1. I’m praying you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. There is much to be thankful for. 

"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson

With Gratitude, 

Pastor Traci

All of us at Elmhurst Presbyterian Church wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving! 

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. In worship, we will be having a special Hanging of the Greens service. During the service, we will be sharing the meaning of all of the elements you see in the sanctuary during the Advent season and singing some favorite Christmas Carols. Please join us!
