First United Methodist Church of Elgin

First United Methodist Church of Elgin We strive to be a welcoming congregation, and develop relationships with the broader community in order to spread the love of Christ.

First United Methodist Church of Elgin strives to be an open and welcoming congregation, while developing relationships with the broader community in order to show the love of Jesus Christ to others. The United Methodist Church is known for having “open hearts, open minds, and open doors”. We recognize that part of that “open-ness” is not waiting for others to find us, but for us to be intentional

in reaching out to help meet the needs of a hurting world. While FUMC Elgin endeavors to find new life in Christ daily, we are also thankful for our rich 130+ year history in Elgin. We offer traditional and contemporary worship services, as well as a communion service (open to all) every Sunday. Our mid-week worship service on Wednesday evenings is also a communion service open to all. We are one part of the Body of Christ, and desire to reach upward and outward in ministry and growth. You are welcome to rest with us, or serve with us, depending on your present situation or need.

How often have you minded your own business just to avoid having to get involved in something messy or awkward? We’ve likely all done at least once, thinking it would work itself out.
Today, let’s talk about the difference between minding your own business and taking action.
This is the story of the Levite and the Priest. If you think you haven’t read this parable before, look up Luke 10:30-37. You might recognize this parable by another name.
And don’t forget to grab your cracker and something to drink- it’s communion Sunday.

We are doing things a little differently on this 5th Sunday. On 5th Sundays we are planning to do a variety of different worship formats.
Today, instead of following the typical worship order, we have a short devotion and then we sing! The congregation submitted some of their favorite hymns and we will be singing thing.
Our scripture for today is Psalm 84:1-4. And today’s sermon is titled “Shut Up and Sing!”
Among the hymns we’re singing today are “Trust and Obey”, “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder”, and “How Great Thou Art”.
Come join us!
