Compassion Linen Closet Service Project

Service Project! This year we are partnering with the Jones County Department of Family and Child Services to create a resource for the many foster families in our county. Elam will house the Compassion Linen Closet which will be stocked with sheets (crib/toddler, twin, and queen size), blankets/comforters, washcloths, and towels for families with foster children.

This will be an ongoing mission of Elam Baptist Church, so we will take donations year around for any of the following items:

Towels (infant/regular) Crib Sheets/Twin Sheets/Queen Sheets/Blankets/Washcloths. Donations can be dropped off at any service time or during weekly office hours. Feel free to make arrangements with us for other times if you need it! Elam Baptist Church will be taking donations indefinitely and this will be a church ministry!

VBS is going BIG this year!!

Save the date!

June 8-12

5:15 pm - 8:30 pm

Elam Baptist Church

From the tiny acorn that will someday become a giant oak, to the intricate design of a butterfly’s wings, our amazing God is not only the Creator of all things, but He also cares about His creation, right down to the tiniest detail. And the Bible tells us that people are the most significant part of that creation. God created you and knows every detail about you—right down to the design of your fingerprints and the number of hairs on your head. God cares about everything that happens to you.

Grades completed PreK-5th join us for Magnified!™ VBS! We will begin with dinner at 5:30 each evening and wrap up the fun at 8:30. Register early to claim your t-shirt for $10! Go to "https://elambaptist.breezechms.com/form/ff6744"

Can't wait to see you at MAGNIFIED VBS!!
