Franklin First

Our Angel Shop has a large selection of gently used formal wear for female and male students.  All students are welcome to shop for upcoming  Prom & Homecoming dances. 

Stop by the Dining Room on February 12th after Worship for a homemade treat.  The Bake Sale is sponsored by the Women's Circle and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association.

February 22 is the beginning of Lent and Ash Wednesday. We will have a short Imposition of Ashes service at 6:30 that evening to serve as a time of repentance and remembrance. Lent continues through Holy Saturday April 8, a time of preparation and spiritual retrospection as we bear in mind Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.

  You won’t want to miss the Lenten/Easter sermon series starting Sunday, February 26. Each week, a character from the story of Jesus’ passion will be put on trial to share their story of the events leading up to and following Jesus’ crucifixion. Jeff Sams and Pastor Laura will be presenting the dramas. Learn details of Jesus’ betrayal, death, and resurrection from different perspectives.

Enjoy a weekend of scrapbooking fun!  

 You will get your own 5-foot round or rectangular table.

Saturday brunch and salad & potato bar dinner will be provided.
Electrical outlets and Wi-Fi are available; please bring your own extension cord.

 Registration is non-refundable, but it is transferable to another person.

 Whether we’ve been a person of faith for decades or days, there is always more to fathom in our relationship with God. Our faith journey can get lackadaisical unless we intentionally seek to expand not only our head knowledge, but also our heart knowledge about the mercy, grace, and love of our Lord.

With that in mind, you are invited to join Deep Dive Discipleship, a study led by Pastor Laura beginning in March on Sundays from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. A light meal will be provided. The course will meet mostly bi-weekly according to the schedule below:

March 19 - Living faith & the meaning of my baptism
April 2 - Making a daily connection with God
April 16 -  Developing deeper spiritual relationships
April 30 -  Vibrant worship
May 21 -  Having a servant’s heart
June 4 -  Deep discipleship insights
June 11  - What does hospitality look like in the Body of Christ?

All adults are invited to participate, and pre-registration will be helpful to provide the necessary materials. Please call the church office or register online by March 12. It will be a great way to take the next steps in your faith. Pastor Laura will be glad to address any questions you may have.
