Youth Sunday!
The youth will be leading both services this week (9:00 and 11:00 a.m.), as we tackle another concept central to who we are as people of God: suffering. The youth invite you to wear your favorite Franconia gear to the service. Please come support them as they lead in song and word. Our amazing puppet team will also be performing during the 11:00 a.m. service – so come hear their voices through the puppet’s mouths!
Coffee and Conversation
Please join us in the small kitchen this Sunday, April 30 at 10:15 a.m. The topic will be Success. “Can success separate us from those who could use our help? Can it create a wall between those with and those without? Maybe we are only really successful when we can actually see who could use our help. And maybe when we give to those we see, we are reminded of what we have been given.” Please contact Dar Davis moc.liamg@10sivadrad ta or…
In the Image presented on May 21 at 10:00 a.m.
On Sunday, May 21 we will have one service at 10:00 a.m. for the children’s musical, In the Image, created by Mark Burrows and presented by our own Franconia Players. In the Image features a group of children who have just experienced the story of The Creation. And now they’re starting to wonder what it really means to be created in the image of God. Through humorous, earnest exploration, the children discover that being created in the image of God…
Blessing of the Garden

Coffee and Conversation
The next Coffee and Conversation is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. this Sunday, April 16. The topic is “Tomato”. Do you ever find yourself telling a story in a particular way to make yourself look better? Like you emphasize certain details, and you leave other details out. It’s like you twist the story ever so slightly in your favor. For many of us, this impulse is so deep within us, we’ve been doing this for so long, we’re not even aware that…
Healthy Church Team Masking Status Update
Effective this Sunday, April 2nd, Franconia United Methodist Church (FUMC) will begin a mask optional status for worship services. Areas within the sanctuary will be designated to accommodate those who prefer to wear a mask and to sit in an area where others directly around them would also be masked (as denoted by “mask required” signage). Congregants are welcome to sit in any non-reserved section; however, they will need to remain masked in “mask required” pews to protect those who…
