MISSIONAL OFFERING

February Missional Giving

This month we will be supporting Jack Ducote in his role with the Honduras Project. The project is a student-led, short-term missions initiative that partners with rural villages in the mountains of Honduras to provide clean, running water. Each year, Wheaton students raise funds to build a gravity-fed water system that delivers fresh spring water directly to household faucets.

The God We Can Know Lenten Book Study
Led by Lay Leader, Nancy Conrad, this study of the "I Am" sayings of Jesus will take a deeper look at Jesus’s teachings as we make our way through Lent. Sign up today to receive your book, and make plans to join us Tuesday afternoons at 2:00 for meaningful conversation.

We're continually planning meaningful gatherings and activities for our community. Please remember to check back regularly to stay informed about these events and join in the wonderful experiences we have in store for you.


Ash Wednesday Prayer Walk
ASH WEDNESDAY PRAYER WALK

You are invited to pause, reflect, and enter the season of Lent through a meaningful Ash Wednesday Prayer Walk.

This self-guided prayer experience offers a quiet, contemplative space to pray, reflect, and prepare your heart as we begin the Lenten journey together. Move at your own pace through prayer stations designed to encourage reflection, repentance, and renewal.

Come for a few minutes or stay longer — all are welcome to participate at any point throughout the day.

Wednesday, February 18
10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

We invite you to walk, pray, and reflect as we seek God’s grace and presence during this holy season.

Faith Chat with Pastor Suzanne
FAITH CHAT WITH PASTOR SUZANNE RESUMES AFTER LENT

It's a wild world out there, and sometimes it can be hard to make sense of what's happening through the lens of faith.

Join Pastor Suzanne for coffee and a relaxed, welcoming conversation about current events and real-life issues that challenge and shape our faith. This informal gathering is a chance to listen, share, ask questions, and find encouragement together in a supportive, grace-filled space.


CPR Defibrillators
HOW TO USE A DEFIBRILLATOR

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.


Narcan boxes
NARCAN BOXES

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.
