October 26– Reformation Sunday
10:30 AM, Worship with Holy Communion in Sanctuary and Livestream
Joel 2:23–32 | Luke 18:10-13

We give thanks this Reformation Sunday as we ponder our history, ancient and still developing. We honor the vision to be a part of a new reformation for the Church that will bring ever more joy and justice to the world. The Senior Choir will sing. Market Street Brass will be featured.
ERUCC also holds a healing worship service with Holy Communion at 8:30 AM.
