ANNOUNCEMENTS
Lent
The season of Lent began this past Wednesday, February 18, with Ash Wednesday. And now we are observing Lent. This is a time 40 days before Easter (not counting Saturday and Sunday) when we examine our hearts in repentance as we look forward to the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection.
Contribution Statements and 2026 Church Envelopes
This is the last Sunday these statements and envelopes will be available in the Welcome Center.
Baptist Women's Day
Today is Baptist Women’s Day. Our women will lead us in worship today, and we will hear from three ladies about 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. Let’s be encouraging, supporting, and celebrating all the faithful women who bless our congregation in countless ways.
Important Insert
Please read the insert in your bulletin this morning. We are getting high-speed internet at the church. This is a lengthy process that will need your cooperation to help make it successful for our streaming services on Facebook and for our online posts on our website.
Seeking God's Future Together Luncheon on March 8
There is a signup sheet in the Welcome Center for our luncheon 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 begin the day with a men’s breakfast in the Fellowship Hall. Please sign up for this at the table in the Welcome Center. We will continue to 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 Franklinton Baptist Church.
Parade of Tables
First of all, this is not a competition. It is meant to be an event of fun and fellowship. Please sign up in the Welcome Center for this event. If you want to decorate a table, please sign your name with the number of people at your table, If you do not want to decorate a table but you would like to come to the event, please sign your name and the number of people coming with you. This is not a catered meal. Those coming to the event will be bringing a dish for the event. All of this will be further explained today. But please feel free to get more information from Debra Allen or Pam Childress.
