Pentecost Sunday
What time is it?
Did you know there is a Church Calendar Year? The Liturgical Year is the way the church has organized its time for centuries to ensure we remember important seasons and events in the life of the Christian faith. After Easter, we are in a time called "Eastertide" until Pentecost.
We will observe Pentecost on June 8th this year. Pentecost is also referred to as the 'Birthday of the Church.' You can read about what Pentecost is and why it matters in the Book of Acts, chapter 2. Why do you think we change the colors in the church to red, and encourage people to wear the color red, on Pentecost? -

Sunday Worship
Every Sunday Morning at 10:30am
In person and online
Our worship is a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, and our music combines modern worship songs and traditional hymns. The Bible is preached in the context of its origins and of our lives right now, cultivating wisdom for us and our world today. We do our best to use inclusive language in our worship music, as well as in our communal prayers, congregational participation, and scripture readings.
Youth Group
Find out more about El Parkis and upcoming events through the El Parkis Youth website.
Once a month, youth (6th through 12th grade) from Elk Grove, Loomis, and Parkside UCCs and throughout the community come together for an all El Parkis Youth Ministry Event. We volunteer locally, embark on overnight service trips, play pickup sports games, make art, and throw top-notch BBQs. Throughout the rest of the month, youth programming happens at one church per week. Anyone can join- you don’t have to belong to a church or even be religious. All are welcome.
And there are ALWAYS SNACKS.
Children’s Ministry
Sundays
We offer childcare and Sunday school for children from infants to sixth grade every Sunday morning. We also hold events for children and families as often as possible throughout the year, including Easter Egg hunts, movie nights, kid's camp, Vacation Bible School and Christmas caroling.
Adult Bible Study
Come join us for a bible study on the Book of Deuteronomy. This is a small group of people who are interested in exploring the books of the Bible and what it might say to us and to our world. The leader of this Bible study is Rick Autenrieth. He is a member of Field of Hope UCC. Rick’s role is that of facilitator, not a teacher. This group is encouraged to ask questions, explore answers, offer thoughts and feelings. Meeting new people and creating relationships while engaging in thoughtful, meaningful dialogue is the goal. You are invited to join this group at any time. There is no prerequisite, only a desire to explore and the Bible with other people
