Discipleship isn't about winning debates and arguments. It's about becoming—and inviting others to become—followers along the Way. Disciples are made as we impress and engage people to experiment and become faithful followers of Jesus. "

We are starting a new worship series tomorrow (Sunday, September 13) exploring what it means to walk the discipleship pathway, follow the way of Christ at Franklin UMC. TOMORROW, in worship beginning at 10a, we'll be exploring what it means to live in community. We cannot experience life that truly is life alone. We were made for one another, to love one another. We hope you'll join us tomorrow as we seek to live in community together.

We were back in the sanctuary today, but not without some challenges. We apologize for the disrupted livestream today. We were having trouble with our internet connection. The wire was moved coming into the building late Friday afternoon and caused some unforeseen issues with the connection this morning. We will work to get the problem resolved for next week.

If you’d like a copy of Pastor Jacob’s sermon, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to him.
