Announcements
As the season turns and the days grow shorter, we're reminded that God's greatest blessings often come in the simplest forms — a word of kindness, a shared meal, a moment of quiet prayer. In this new series, Simple Gifts, we'll pause to rediscover the beauty of everyday grace. Together we'll explore how gratitude, generosity, and simplicity can draw us closer to God and to one another.
Join us at Frankfort and Elberta United Methodist Churches, where Pastor Suzanne Goodwin will lead us in unwrapping these “simple gifts” and discovering new joy in the ordinary moments that reveal God’s extraordinary love.
Worship Schedule
- Elberta UMC: Sunday Worship at 9:00 am
- Frankfort UMC: Sunday Worship and Sunday School for elementary-age students at 10:30 am
November Missional Giving
"God bless us, everyone!" The holiday season is almost upon us, bringing plenty of opportunities for us to share our gifts with others. We all know there is a great need right now in the world and in our community. We can't solve it all, but together, we can each do what God calls us to and together make a significant impact. Below you'll find some opportunities to share God's blessing. Pick the missions that you are drawn to and help as you feel God is calling you. Thank you for your generosity and faithfulness.Ingathering Sunday (November 16).

At Frankfort United Methodist Church, we've installed an automated external defibrillator (AED) outside the sanctuary.
Recognizing the vital importance of AED knowledge in emergencies, we're dedicated to equipping our community with life-saving skills.
To further our commitment to safety and well-being, we encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with AED operations.
As part of this effort, we've provided a helpful instructional video demonstrating proper usage.
Let's come together to empower each member with the knowledge to potentially save a life in times of need.
Your readiness could be the difference between tragedy and triumph in a critical moment.
The Narcan boxes are now in front of both our United Methodist Churches in Frankfort & Elberta! We're immensely grateful for the opportunity to extend a helping hand to our communities during times of need.
These Narcan boxes stand as a testament to our commitment to the health and well-being of all who call Frankfort and Elberta home.
Together, let's continue to support and care for one another, ensuring that everyone feels safe and supported in our shared journey.
