Worship with us on Sundays.
Sunday School 10:00
Worship Service 11:00
800 W. Broad St.
Elizabethtown, NC 28337
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating. And we know that going to a new church for the first time can be pretty nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Elizabethtown Presbyterian Church a great one.
Our worship service begins at 11:00 am and lasts around 60 minutes. We sing hymns from the hymnal, have special music, scripture lessons are read, and our minister has a message for us each Sunday.
Each Sunday we “Pass the Peace”. That is when we all move around the sanctuary and say good morning. Don’t be surprised if several members come up to you and welcome you. We are a very social group and find this opportunity to speak to others a favorite tradition at our church.
We have Children’s Sermon when the children come to the front of the church to have a few moments with our minister. He brings the message to their understanding. (You never know what those children will say!) Our children, ages 3 through second grade, leave the sanctuary for craft/story time. This is a great opportunity for the children to have fun and learn bible stories. The children are returned to us during the last hymn.
There are pouches for the children when you first enter the front doors, in the narthex, with children’s bulletins for coloring, crayons, and a small candy treat. The older children enjoy the word games and seek-and-find activities in the bulletins.
We also provide a nursery for infants. Feel free to drop your very little ones off before church if you like. They are welcome in our worship if you want to bring them with you.
We can't wait to meet you. Hope to see you soon.

Stations of the Cross - Presented by the
Youth Group
Jesus is condemned to death. Look at the man sitting. He is Pontius Pilate. He is the Roman Governor and the most powerful man in Judea. Angry people have told lies about Jesus, and they want Pilate to kill him. Pilate knows Jesus is an innocent man. He knows He should not be killed. But Pilate is afraid. He wants angry people to like him and be his friends, or he might lose his job. So he tells them, "Go ahead and kill Jesus."
Jesus meets His mother. Look at that lady reaching out to Jesus from the crowd. She is His mother, Mary. She comes close and her face is full of tears. Tears are on Jesus' cheeks, too.
Simon helps Jesus carry His cross.Look at that man helping Jesus carry the cross. This is Simon of Cyrene. He was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast when he was stopped and told to help carry Jesus' cross. At first Simon did not like having to help Jesus. He thinks; “Why must I help this man? Who is He that the crowd so hates him.” He has these doubts and questions because Simon did not know Jesus. But later, when he found out who Jesus was, he was proud that he had helped to carry the cross.
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Look at that woman standing before Jesus. We call her Veronica, a poor Jewish woman who sees love in this man’s face. She has pushed her way through the crowd to get to Jesus. That was a brave thing to do with all those rough people around to scare her. She does not understand how they can look at his kind, loving face and do these terrible things to him.
Jesus is nailed to the cross.
Jesus dies on the cross. Look at Jesus hanging on the cross. He has been there for three hours. He hurts all over. He is so thirsty, but nobody brings any water. Jesus does not complain. He prays to His heavenly Father and tells Him that He has finished what had to be done. He bows His head and dies.
Jesus is taken down from the cross. Look at Jesus after His body has been taken down from the cross and the blood and dirt washed away. The sharp thorns have been taken off, too. Now he is lying on His mother's lap. She holds Him lovingly. She keeps saying His name over and over. How she loves him! Her heart is broken, but she does not cry or give up. She remembers about waiting three days.
