Tomorrow night, join us for the continuation of Advent: Writing as a Spiritual Practice from 6:45 to 7:30 PM. Come and gather in Barr Conference Room to write as an act of holy gratitude and a way to open yourself to the season of Advent. This way of exploring the texts together can be a spiritual and imaginative practice. We hope this will encourage many to submit their writing for our annual Advent Devotional Guide.

We have opened up this tour through Downtown Franklin to the whole congregation! This [90 minute] walk through the historic district takes you past the most haunted buildings in town. You’ll hear ghost and crime stories ranging from the merely mischievous to the downright dark. Sure to entertain history geeks, murderinos, and paranormal enthusiasts alike. $30 per adult and $10 for children 12 and under payable to Betty Barcheski (check or cash) at the event. 

We will provide a light breakfast, lunch, and water for 25-30 folks as well as provide volunteers for the jobs below. Volunteers must be 16+ and only 18+ can use power tools. No one under 16 is allowed on the site. Sign up to volunteer HERE.

EXPLORATION CLASS, ROOM 211 (BARR CONFERENCE ROOM) (HYBRID ON ZOOM) 

Pastor Chris will join us for our first class (October 30) to introduce and provide an overview of the book “ Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now” by Walter Brueggemann 

Perfect for groups or self-reflection, Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance. Contact Doug Halleen.

The Primetimers tour of the City of Franklin’s Water Reclamation Demonstration Project on November 10^th has been postponed. Due to some manufacturing delays, and the lack of permanent power, it’s still considered an active construction site. The project will now remain open through June, so we will reschedule in the spring.

Instead, we will have a lunch outing that day. We have reservations for Amerigos on November 10 at 1:00. The address is 1656 Westgate Circle in Brentwood (Cool Springs area). We hope you’ll join us for some delicious Italian food. RSVP HERE or contact Karen Hanson for any questions.

Join us Thursday, November 10 at UKirk Nashville, the Presbyterian Campus Ministry for Vanderbilt and Belmont, as we serve dinner and participate in their weekly worship service. This is a fun way we serve together each year and get to interact with local college students! We will gather at St. Augustine’s Chapel on Vanderbilt’s campus at 5:45 (dinner at 6:30 with worship following). If you would like to help with bringing dinner and/or join for the evening, reach out to Mary Sellers. 

As Veterans Day approaches, we would like to recognize our members and their families who have served in the armed services. We will provide goodies during both Common Grounds at 9:45 and 10:30 AM Sunday, November 13. Fill out the info in the Connection Card Sunday morning and/or email Cathy McCall for more information.
