Elam United Methodist Church

April 28th is our next Mosaic Sunday. Extra hands are needed to help prepare meals for Caring for Friends, make cards for our card ministry and for Kits for Kids assembly. All activities will occur immediately following our Sunday service that morning. Light refreshments will be available to grab and go.

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!

Our next Mosaic Sunday will be on April 28th. As a reminder, one of the activities conducted is to prepare meal trays for Caring for Friends. I am requesting participation from the congregation as many hands will make light work to make these meals quickly and efficiently. In 2023 Elam made 537 meals and soups that were taken to St Katherine’s Drexel Parish Food Pantry in Chester to be distributed. On average, we make about 60 meals on Mosaic Sunday and the balance of meals are made by individual groups and our congregation. Thank you and see you on the 28th. Jean Ferrarelli

Thank you for all of the wonderful participation. It is time to "gather in the red bags". Whether empty, partially completed or completed, please return every bag. We will assess items needed to complete the bags. Then on Mosaic Sunday, April 28 we will complete all the bags in preparation for delivery. We MUST account for all of the bags purchased from the parent company, Project C.U.R.E.

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.
