Emelia Bruton

Emelia is a Georgetown native. She has been attending FUMC Georgetown with her family since 2012. She is the oldest of three children. As a child, she was part of the children’s choir and handbell ensemble and is currently a member of the church orchestra.

Before being officially hired, Emelia edited the pre-recorded services posted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She continued to do odd jobs during this period, including the production of the virtual chancel choir and church orchestra performances released on FUMC’s Youtube channel. In August of 2021, she was officially hired and began creating the slide presentations used in every worship service. Every Sunday, she can be spotted in the sanctuary balcony, running the slideshow or manning the cameras for that service’s livestream.

Emelia is studying English at Southwestern University and plans to graduate in 2025. She works at the Southwestern Library as a library assistant, and the Debby Ellis Writing Center as a writing consultant. She plays French horn and is a member of both the wind ensemble and the Band of Pirates, Southwestern’s pep band. Additionally, she is a member of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega and serves on the university’s Honor Code Council. In her free time, Emelia enjoys reading, watching television shows, and thinking very hard about the things she reads and watches.
