History of Elam Egypt Baptist Church
Elim Baptist Church was constituted in the summer of 1870, in front of and to the left of the residence of C.F. Foy, in a grove of young oaks, about two miles north of Egypt. A man of great influence and social leader in the community brought about a split in the church at Oliver (Little Ogeechee Baptist) over the use of an organ in their song services. Dr. A. B. Lanier organized Elim Baptist Church because of this issue. He and others who favored the use of an instrument left the Little Ogeechee Baptist Church and founded Elim Baptist Church. [more]

Preview Beginning Today
Elam Egypt’s “Monday Missionaries” (the hard-working group of ladies who meet on Mondays to work in the Mission Building) will have a “Santa Shop” set up (in the Craft Room upstairs in the Social Hall building) for children to shop for items they might like to give family, friends, teachers, etc. Items will all be priced between $1.00 and $5.00. All proceeds will go back into the Missions account for future use with Backpacks, Shoeboxes, and other needs as they arise. Children must be accompanied by one of the “missionaries” when they shop or preview. Items must be paid for before they will be released to the children. Shopping opportunities will happen on Wednesdays and Sundays until December 21. See Terri Smith or Terri Fort with questions.
Uniform and Clothing Giveaway
Saturday, Jan 03, 2026
Guyton – at the City Gym
Because of a very generous donation of school uniform pieces as well as other pieces of children’s clothing, the Missions Committee is organizing a Uniform and Clothing Giveaway to benefit Effingham County children. There will be many ways that church members will be able to help that day. More details to come. The Committee will also be putting hygiene bags together containing bars of soap and toothpaste. If you would like to contribute toward that effort, a box will be placed in the back of the church. If you would like to contribute monetarily instead, see Tina Caine or Brenda Barrow. Deadline to contribute items or money will be December 21 so that there will be ample time to assemble the bags. Help us be the hands and feet of Jesus for our community!

Can you find 30 books of the Bible hidden in this passage?
(Hint: the first two are marked with red print!)
This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat! Another friend worked on it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That’s a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we see in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fundraising event which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, “The books are all here right in plain view hidden from sight.” Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations tfrom those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mass exodus. There really are 30 books of he Bible lurking somehwere in this paragraph waiting to be found. God bless. (How many did you find? See Brenda Barrow for the anwers!)
