Elam United Methodist Church

A planning meeting for next year's GROW programs will be held after church on Sunday, May 19th in the music room. All interested women are invited to join us to brainstorm for the 2024-2025 sessions.

THE FOLLOWING PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW the long-awaited painting repair project for Elam's exterior. As you can see, there's quite a dramatic difference! The project wasn't just about painting for mere cosmetic purposes - it was to seal off any further moisture intrusion into the interior walls of the church and to seal around windows too. It is important to point out that the paint being used also contained a sealant. We've had to make some very difficult and timely financial decisions over the last few years; however, in the midst of it all, we were still able to make the wise decision to protect our beloved facility. Kudos to our Trustees and Finance Committee for leading the way on this. Pastor John

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105

Did you know that Elam has an adult Sunday School class? We meet every week in the Blest Sunday School room (turn right after the office door across from the music room) from 8:15-9:15 am where we share a time of prayer, fellowship, coffee, and a weekly lesson. On April 21st, we will be starting a new study from Max Lucado called Help is Here! Please join us for this exciting new study on the Holy Spirit - all are welcome and if you have to leave early or arrive late, we don't mind. We will watch a short video by Max one week and have thought provoking discussion questions the following week. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jackie Brandt at jackie_brandt@live.com,. We hope to see you soon!

We are continuing to collect items for college students in need and Philadelphia homeless. Here is a wish list if you would like to contribute:

If you have any cloth bags that you are not using, Loaves of Love would love to have them as they are used to pack the food for the families. You may drop them off at Elam weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for delivery to Loaves of Love or they may be placed in the outside bins at Siloam UMC, 3720 Foulk Road, Garnet Valley.
 

We have begun a new video series from Andy Stanley (the son of Charles Stanley). No books are required. Please feel free to join us anytime for coffee, fellowship and lively discussion. The Adult Bible Study meets in the conference room on Sunday mornings from 8:15-9:15.

Sunday School and nursery for infants through sixth grade are available during the worship service. It is held in the Children’s Day Out rooms (follow hallway past restrooms all the way to the end to room 107). Miss Bonnie and Miss Joy will be waiting for you there.
