Watch Recorded Worship Services​
Greetings members and friends of Elim, 

Our Sonoma County Health Officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, is encouraging people to limit their interactions with people outside their household.  You can read the announcement here.

Although churches are not required to follow this recommendation, we feel it is in the best interest of public health to follow the spirit of the order. Therefore, we will only hold services online through the end of January and re-evaluate the situation at that time. Our service is available at 10:00 am on Sundays and it is available to watch anytime after it has been posted. 

May God continue to bless us all during this challenging time with patience, peace, and grace for one another, 
​
Pr. Kathryn

January Second Mile Giving: 
Hope Counseling Services
“Second-mile giving” refers to an extra offering toward a particular cause. For example, our second mile giving for January goes to Hope Counseling Services. Hope’s mission is to restore physical, emotional, and spiritual balance to individuals, couples, and families by providing a safe, confidential, and therapeutic environment in which to heal. With the belief that everyone deserves such balance, Hope provides services to all people, regardless of their race, religion, age, or economic status. (When donating to Second Mile Giving, please note “2nd Mile: Hope Counseling” in your preferred offering method. Thanks!)

Three ways to give:
  1. Drop your offering in the basket at the back of the church, along with your contact form.
  2. Give on our website at elimpetaluma.org/give.
  3. Mail to 504 Baker St. Petaluma CA 94952.
