Church Conference
Church Conference is this Wednesday. The Building and Grounds committee will be bringing a recommendation designed to significantly improve the appearance and usefulness of our second floor classrooms (above Cheryl’s office). Your presence, your voice, and your support are vital as we make decisions that strengthen our ministry and care for our facilities.
Valentine Banquet
Today is the last day to sign up for the Valentine Banquet this Saturday, February 14, at 5:00 P.M. This is NOT just for couples. It is simply a banquet that falls on Valentine’s Day. Cost is $20 per person and $40 per couple. Money for the event will be taken at the door. We will enjoy the evening with a meal consisting of a meat, 2 vegetables, tea and water. We will also have entertainment. We need a count to know how many people to prepare for so you must sign up for this event. Please sign your name and the number of people in your party (including yourself). Please call Debra Allen, Adult Council Chair, with questions.
Youth Sunday
On February 15, our youth will once again step forward to lead us in worship for Youth Sunday. They will share Scripture, offer testimony, and guide us in worship just as beautifully as they did last year. Franklinton Baptist Church has always been a place where young people are encouraged, supported, and surrounded with love. Thank you for being a church family that shows up with smiles, prayers, and open hearts, to cheer them on as they grow in faith. Let’s fill the sanctuary with joy and gratitude as we worship under their leadership on February 15. Let’s continue to be the encouragers and supporters they need as they discover their gifts and follow God’s call.
Baptist Women's Day
On February 22, the women of Franklinton Baptist Church will lead us in worship. Our ladies will fill the choir with joyful praise and share reflections from their own spiritual journeys. Their voices, stories, and testimonies will remind us of the many ways God is at work in the lives of the women who shape our church family. As they plan and prepare, we invite you to be in prayer for each woman who will lead. Pray for confidence, clarity, and joy as they offer their gifts to God. And on that Sunday, let’s be fully present, ready to encourage, support, and celebrate the faithful women who bless our congregation in countless ways.
Seeking God's Future Together Luncheon on March 8
On March 8, immediately following our worship service, we will gather in the Fellowship Hall to share a meal and discuss the results of our recent survey on the future of our church. Where are we now and where is God calling us to go next? The church will provide the meat and beverages for this luncheon, and everyone is invited to bring a covered dish to share. We will begin at 12:15 p.m. and end no later than 1:45 p.m.
Baptist Men's Day
Baptist Men’s Day has been rescheduled for March 15. We will celebrate this meaningful day with a men’s choir and testimonies from four of our FBC men, who will share how God has been at work in their lives. We invite you to be present, prayerful, and supportive as we honor the men of FBC.
Parade of Tables Rescheduled for March 28
This is not a competition. It is meant to be an event of fun and fellowship. The round tables we will have for the event could be decorated with various themes, such as Christmas, the beach, spring, or even reference to a favorite Bible verse. More directions will come and a signup sheet will be available soon. Please see Debra Allen or Pam Childress if you are interested in decorating a table.
