Church Events at Elk Grove Presbyterian Church
With Easter behind us, we remember our Good Friday noon service. It was a time for silent prayer, reflection, and meditation. Our church hosted this quiet time with no service or spoken words, just quiet recorded Latin chants. People of all faith backgrounds were welcomed and could stay for however long they chose. Rev. Dexter McNamara was available for any who wished to speak with him. Easter service was well attended and the sermon “Called by Our Name” was presented by Rev. McNamara. HE HAS RISEN!
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Our next JAZZ & BLUES Concert will be at 4pm on May 4th and feature Sinatra music by Larry Ski. The June 1st concert will feature Danny Sandoval with blues. On July 6th, Cheryl-Saltel will bring us Tiburzi/Patsy Cline music. Aug 3rd, Blues music by Julie & the Jukes. These 4pm concerts are held the first Sunday of every month through November. Singer/songwriter Scotty Inman will return to District 56 in the fall. His music is remarkable, with messages of faith, family and life. Come enjoy his music at the concert on November 14, 2025.
