Welcome
WELCOME! We're so glad you've stopped by...
As you move through the pages of our site, we hope you capture a glimpse of who we are and of our life together.
We believe a balanced life of faith means that we care for one another, reach beyond ourselves, explore our faith and worship together.
So we care, reach, explore and worship. We're not perfect people by any means but we invite you into a journey of living more fully into the marvelous grace of God we've found in following Jesus Christ.

Prayer List Update
We are going to restart the Prayer List from scratch. As soon as possible, please let me know, the names of those who should be on there. Thank you. So far, we only have five names.
2025 Charge Conference
I just received word on the date/time for Elam's Charge Conference. Please save the date for Wednesday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. Our new District Superintendent Steve Pittman has decided that all Charge Conferences will be with individual churches this year. In other words, there will not be group Charge Conferences as was the case with our last two
District Superintendents. However, so that all churches can have an individual Charge Conference, Rev. Pittman has enlisted the assistance of a handful of retired pastors to lead some of the Charges Conferences. In our case, the Rev. Jeff Raffauf, former pastor of West Lawn UMC, will be leading ours.

Important reminder
We are happy so many of you are able to change your schedules and truly enjoy the summer, but wanted to remind everyone that it is important for Elam that you maintain your giving through the summer months. Unfortunately, the lights and other expenses don’t get a summer break. You may also give electronically by going to Elam’s webpage and clicking on “Donate online” or click on the QR code. Thank you for your generosity.

Got too much Glitz?
It is never too early to bring in your Christmas and jewelry donations for our Glitz & Decor Sale in November. Simply put your items on the right side of the stage. Thank you.
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.
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.
