Elam United Methodist Church

Elam would like to extend our congratulations to all of the Class of 2020.  If we don't have you in the list, it's not too late - just send your info (with a photo) to Mary@elamumc.org.

Zach Davis received a Master of Science in Organizational Dynamics degree from the University of Pennsulvania Last weekend.

Geoff DeMarro graduated Cum Laude from Kutztown University with a BS Art Education. He participated in the marching band as a tenor sax player and equipment manager, worked as a desk assistant and a teachers assistant in the art department. Geoff is pictured here with his sculpture entitled “The Screaming Stick” which was selected for display at the Senior Exhibition. Geoff is the son of Vince DeMarro and Angela Smith. 

Teresa June (Tess) DeMarro will graduate from Garnet Valley High School with the class of 2020.  She participated in chorus since 3rd grade, played oboe in concert band starting in 4th grade, and from grades 7-12 was a member of the GVHS marching band color guard. Her favorite activity was indoor color guard, of which she was captain this year. Tess will be attending the Brandywine Campus of Penn State University for the first two years of her Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences program before moving to Main Campus in 2022. Tess is the daughter of Vince DeMarro and Angela Smith.    

Melanie Landry will graduate from Unionville High School and will attend Clemson University, Clemson, NC. She is undecided about her major.

Jake Stahl will graduate from Garnet Valley High School. Jake recently completed his Eagle rank with Troop 260 and aged out in February. His plan was to enlist in the US Airforce, but that has been interrupted by the COVID-19 quarantine. The expectation is that he will enlist and complete basic training this summer.

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.

Sunday Service for May 17, 2020

Greetings All, I would like to do a few virtual gatherings via ZOOM so that we can connect with one another as well as offer some meditation and prayer practices that will bring us peace and provide a space for us to feel the presence of God in the midst of this difficult time. Life is different for each of us so this would also give us time to talk about how we’re filling our days and how we’re handling life.. It is my prayer that each of you will be able to join us (you will be able to phone in as well).

Here is the video of our first meeting.
