Facilities Committee Report:
On July 25th, we will begin a major restoration of the exterior of our building. After 27 years, it is necessary to replace the stucco and make other repairs to our building. This project will take approximately 5 to 6 months to complete. There should be no interruption of any services or other activities of the church. If you have any questions, please contact Rich Johnson or Ron Crutcher.
FPC has shared our storage shed with Shorter Chapel, and we are in need of volunteers to build the foundation at its new location! Work will include digging shallow holes, putting masonry blocks in the ground, laying floor framing, and putting the shed back together. Volunteering will occur in August, date TBD. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Dale Roos.

Worship Flowers
Do you enjoy the worship flowers each Sunday? We have open dates (July 31, August 21, September 4) for you to donate flowers in memory or in honor of or in celebration or thanksgiving for anyone or anything. These worship flowers are then broken down into smaller arrangements on Mondays and delivered to members of our congregation as a reminder of God’s love and our prayers. We also donate a rosebud for the new births of our members. Click here to sign up today.
Thank you for showing love for your Neighbor through your congregation's recent contribution of $792.00 to GraceWorks Ministries. Rent costs are rising in Williamson County - in Franklin prices have risen 28% since March 2021. For many, this increase means trying to figure out how to come up with an extra $500 a month to stay in their homes, as well as paying utilities and obtaining food. Your gift makes it possible for struggling families to fill their food cupboards and avoid eviction and utility disconnection.
New Suicide Hotline Number is LIVE
People experiencing a mental health crisis have a new way to reach out for help in the U.S. Now they can simply call or text the numbers 988.
Modeled after 911, the new three-digit 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is designed to be a memorable and quick number that connects people who are suicidal or in any other mental health crisis to a trained mental health professional.
