Do you enjoy cooking? We are looking for people to serve in our Meal Ministry, which provides food for members who would appreciate a meal for various reasons such as hospitalization, illness, death in the family, or the joyous occasion of a new birth or adoption. Full meals are prepared and delivered as a sign of God’s love. If you are interested in cooking or delivering meals or simply learning more about it, contact Tammy Love: love.tammy66@yahoo.com.

In observance of Independence Day, the church office will be closed on July 4, 2023. The newsletter will go out Thursday, July 6th.

Christmas is coming twice this year at FPC Franklin; save the date for our Christmas in July. Bring the entire family out for a night of food, fellowship, reading, creating, Christmas caroling, reflecting, and praying using Luke 2:1-9 and a special reading of Song of the Stars by Sally Lloyd-Jones. We also will be organizing a book drive to spread joy and foster love for Servant Group International. Donate gently used children’s story books and easy readers for their families who are learning English. Donations will be collected the night of the event, July 26th, or to the Basic Essentials Cart in Wilson Hall prior.

New Member Dinner

Thank you to Margaret and Jim Roberts and the Congregational Care Committee for hosting our New Member Dinner. We had a delightful evening getting to know one another better and welcoming our newest members: Liz Bennorth; Lauren Christman Koeppen; Ray Hill; Brian, Christine, and Alli Lapps; Ted and Jeanne Melcher.

In life and in death we belong to God. We shared of Jean Beaver’s death on April 24 earlier, and we are now sharing more details about the arrangements. On June 30, visitation will be on 10 AM with her graveside service at 11 AM at Williamson Memorial. Here is her obituary and invite anyone who knew Jean to join the family. We continue to prayer for Jeans family, and they gather to celebrate a life well lived.
