New last summer was a Day Camp experience brought right here to us in Durham by Bear Creek Camp.  This year, Bear Creek Day Camp will be held in nearby Ferndale, at Saint Luke Lutheran Church.  Click here for more information about Bear Creek Day Camp.

Located on the hill above Durham Village, Evangelical Lutheran is a community gathering place during the holidays. Community members are welcome at any time - for Easter Egg Hunts, Live Nativity, Thanksgiving worship, and Christmas carols!

 

Caring for the hungry is one of the most important missions of Evangelical Lutheran.  Food baskets on the altar each Sunday and the proceeds from our famous Soup Suppers support local food banks - the Lord's Pantry in Ottsville and Project Easton.  Through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we provide support for the hungry, poor, and homeless throughout the world.  Click here for more information about the ELCA in the world.

 

Each year kids from Evangelical Lutheran participate in Helping Hands Day.  Service projects are carried out throughout Bucks County to help those who cannot quite make it on their own.  For more information about youth activities, click here.
