Dear saints,

We are sad that we won’t be gathering in person for fellowship and worship until further notice. It may be a long stretch of time until we see each other face to face. But God in His providence has arranged the affairs of the universe in this way, for our good and His glory. 

There’s nothing we can do to replicate our normal Sunday worship experience at Elkridge. Yet we see this as an opportunity to grow in different ways. We want to encourage families and individuals to organize  “home worship.” Please scroll down for templates and instructions for such worship based on weekly uploaded sermons. Included in the template are: 

1) titles of hymns and songs with links of recorded music and lyrics for sing-along;

2) suggested Scripture passages for reading and meditation; 

3) instructions for various prayers; and  

4) links to the pre-recorded sermon.

The sermon manuscript and notes are also attached below. If you plan to have home worship with children, attached is a sermon note sheet that might be helpful for them. Look for weekly uploads on Fridays so you can prepare for Sunday. 

Please know that we are at your service if you need guidance. We are praying for you and looking forward to hearing from you. Please pray for the Council and ministry leaders as we think of ways to keep in touch with each other and fulfill our covenant to one another.
