October 4, 2026 Our mission statement is to know Jesus and make Him known to all people and to love God, love your neighbor, and go tell somebody.
We welcome the Reverend Steve Davis to our pulpit this morning while Richard is speaking at the Emma Anderson Memorial Chapel in Topsail, NC. We have been honored to have Steve present the morning message on another occasion, so we are blessed to have him back as he speaks from God’s Word this morning.
Operation Christmas Child We are currently collecting donations for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) and will have empty shoeboxes in the Sanctuary in the coming weeks for you to pick up, fill, and bring back to church. Filled shoeboxes need to be returned to the church by November 8. If you are writing a check to purchase items for a shoebox, please make the check out to Franklinton Baptist Church and write “OCC” in the memo line. If you are filling a shoebox, please include $10 for postage. Checks for postage should be written out to “Samaritan’s Purse.” Our goal is to pack 450 shoeboxes.
Thank You Members of Franklinton Baptist Church, I want to say that it really lifted my spirits when I received my beautiful quilt. Please know that all your prayers and love you have shown has meant so much to me. Thank you so very much. Love in Christ, Judy Hoyle
