This past Sunday we explored one of Christianity's greatest mysteries: the Holy Trinity.

John Wesley once wrote, "I believe the plain fact that God is three and one, but the manner how I do not comprehend."

There is wisdom in that humility. Faith is not having every answer. Faith is trusting the God who is always greater than our understanding.

As you begin a new week, where have you encountered mystery in your walk with God?

We would love to worship with you this Sunday at Elkin First United Methodist Church.

🕘 Worship | 9:00 AM
🕚 Worship | 10:55 AM
📍 340 Hawthorne Rd., Elkin, NC

All are welcome. All are valued.

🍋🥪 VBS Help Needed! 🥪🍋

Our VBS is coming up soon, and we would love some help providing simple meals and snacks for our children, families, and volunteers!

We are currently planning for approximately 55 children, volunteers, and family members each evening (final numbers coming soon), and we are looking for help with:

✅ Sandwich donations (half turkey / half ham)
✅ Individual chip bags
✅ Cookies or individually packaged desserts
✅ Volunteers willing to help prepare/serve food

VBS will be held June 9–11 from 5:30–7:30 PM, and every donation or helping hand makes a huge difference in making this week possible for our kids and families.

If you are willing to donate food items or volunteer to help with meals, please reach out to Christian or the church office.

Thank you for helping make VBS special! ❤️

Trinity Sunday, May 31, 2026

05/31/2026

There are some things in life that are meant to be solved. There are other things that are meant to be experienced.

Today is Trinity Sunday, a day when Christians around the world pause before one of the deepest mysteries of our faith: God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not a puzzle to figure out, but an invitation into wonder, relationship, love, and grace.

If you've ever felt like faith should have room for questions, mystery, and awe, then this morning is for you.

Join us for worship as we explore the beauty of the Trinity together through prayer, music, scripture, and community.

There's still time to join us. Come as you are.

📍 340 Hawthorne Rd, Elkin, NC 28621
⏰ Worship at 9:00 AM & 10:55 AM

All are welcome. All are valued.

As we move toward another Sunday together, one question from last week’s Pentecost message still lingers:

What would it look like to live with such grace, courage, compassion, and mercy that people noticed something different about us?

The Holy Spirit does not simply comfort us inwardly.
The Spirit transforms the way we live outwardly.

We’d love for you to join us this Sunday at First United Methodist Church of Elkin as we continue worship together and explore a new message and new scripture together.

Worship at 9:00 AM and 10:55 AM.
340 Hawthorne Rd. Elkin, NC

Acts 2 reminds us that Pentecost changes how we see people.

The Holy Spirit moved among people the world often overlooked, divided, or excluded and created something entirely new.

The Spirit of God continues to call the church outward into compassion, reconciliation, courage, and transformation.

“The same Spirit that fills you sends you.”

We hope you’ll join us this Sunday as we continue growing together in faith and community at First United Methodist Church of Elkin.
Worship at 9:00 AM and 10:55 AM.

One of the strongest moments from Sunday’s Pentecost message was this reminder:

Sometimes we want God to stay predictable, organized, and manageable.

But throughout scripture, the Holy Spirit consistently disrupts comfort, challenges assumptions, and calls people into deeper transformation.

God is not interested in simply managing our lives.
God is interested in setting us on fire with grace, courage, mercy, and love.

Join us again this Sunday as we continue worship together at First United Methodist Church of Elkin at 9:00 AM and 10:55 AM.
