Enjoy a relaxing morning on the course while building friendships and sharing fellowship with others in our community.

Our Friday Golf League meets every Friday at 9:30 a.m. at Crystal Lake Golf Club in Beulah. Whether you're an experienced golfer or just getting started, you'll find a welcoming group that enjoys spending time together, encouraging one another, and having fun on the course.

Golfers of all skill levels are welcome, so invite a friend and come enjoy a great morning of golf and fellowship.

Euchre Night
EUCHRE NIGHT

Looking for a fun evening of laughter, friendly competition, and great fellowship? Join us for Euchre Night at Frankfort United Methodist Church!

You don't have to come with a partner or know everyone in the room—just bring yourself and enjoy an evening of cards, conversation, and Christian friendship. Trumps will be played, and friendships will be made!

We gather on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Whether you're a seasoned Euchre player or have never played before, you'll find a welcoming group that's happy to teach newcomers and enjoy the game together.

Light snacks and refreshments are provided, making this a wonderful opportunity to relax, meet new friends, and share an evening of fun in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We'd love to have you join us!


CPR Defibrillator
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.
