Thank you!
Dear Amazing Turnabout Volunteers,
We are filled with gratitude as we reflect on the incredible teamwork and dedication that made last weekend’s Children’s Clothing Turnabout a success! Whether you were on the front lines or working behind the scenes, your contributions were invaluable.
To those who worked the sale, ensured the computers ran smoothly, organized volunteers, provided meals, created signage and maps, ran the cash registers, greeted attendees, updated the website, and marketed the event, and Elam's office staff — every task, big and small, played a critical role in bringing this opportunity back to our community.
We couldn’t have done it without the tremendous support of the entire Elam community working together as one! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your time, effort, and energy.
With sincere appreciation,
Jackie Brandt & Dave Berkeyheiser
Co-Chairs, Elam UMC Children’s Clothing Turnabout

Let's GROW together!
Our October GROW activity is a trip to the Pearl S. Buck House https://pearlsbuck.org/ as a follow up to our visit with Buck's adopted daughter, writer Julie Henning. We'll meet at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 19th (note: the third Saturday, not the second) for a quick bite and coffee (will be provided). At 9:30 a.m. we will carpool to the site in Perkasie, which is an hour and fifteen-minute drive from Elam. Our self-guided group tour will begin at 11:00 a.m. If we have 15 or more attending, ticket prices will be $11.00 each. Please bring money or a check on the day of the trip. Lunch is not available that day as there is a wedding planned on the property, so you can work that out with your driving group. Please email Angela Smith at angela.e.smith1014@gmail.com or call/text 484-881-1799. Also, please indicate if you're willing to drive.
MATS OF LOVE PROJECT
Please stop by the side narthex and view the colorful mat of Love on display. It is made out of plastic bags and plastic tablecloths. If you happen to have any bags which you are not using, please donate them to this Project. A container is available for your use. In the future, we will have a presentation on how to cut the bags into strips, knot them together, assemble into a ball and then knit/crochet into a mat. Thank you.
LOL - Loaves of Love Food Pantry
Loaves of Love had distribution day last week and our shelves are low on everything. We are at our maximum of 35 families plus someone who is homeless. We also fulfilled a request for food for someone with children who did not even have a can of soup in her cabinets. Now that is heartbreaking.
We are so thankful that LOL exists and thank you for your help and your continuous support.
Here is the list of what is needed:
Diced Tomatoes Pancake Mix Instant Mashed Potatoes Chef Boyardee Ramen Noodles Canned Fruit Tuna Fish Canned Chicken Rice Syrup Tomato Sauce Jelly Coffee Pasta Toilet Paper, Napkins, Tissues, Paper Towels
Adult Sunday School set to recommence
OUR ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS is will return in the fall, late September. If interested in joining us when it resumes, just go to room 105, which is located in the corridor next to the offices.
Sunday School has you covered
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.
