Prayer Requests
Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website!
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.

We Can Pray - Weekly Community Prayer
In this time of stay home/stay safe, we might ask ourselves, "What Can I Do To Help?" WE CAN PRAY to the one who surrounds us and surrounds all that is happening.

Meditation to Share
MEDITATION- JULY 30TH
“MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING, SO THAT BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU MAY ABOUND IN HOPE. “ ROMANS 15:13
PAUL’S PASSAGE IN THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS REFERS TO OUR GOD AS THE GOD OF HOPE. AS WE DEEPEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND ACCEPT GOD’S BLESSINGS, OUR LIVES SEEM TO BECOME MORE JOYFUL AND PEACEFUL. THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT DWELLS WITHIN US GUIDES US TO LIVE LIFE WITH A MORE POSITIVE HEART AND MIND. WE ARE ASSURED IN SCRIPTURE THAT HOPE IS THE CONFIDENT EXPECTATION OF ALL THAT GOD HAS PROMISED. OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL; OUR GOD IS A GOD OF HOPE.
Reopening delay
Due to the new guidelines in the State of Pennsylvania, Elam UMC's scheduled in person service reopening has been postponned until further notice. We will continue to make services available on a weekly basis, accessed through this website in the Announcement Section, through YouTube and on our Facebook page.
As disappointing as this is, we fully concur that we should only resume in person services when it is deemed safe.
