Services in Franklin

Franklin Federated Church
A Christmas play following one of the "wise ones" trying to find the perfect gift for the Christ Child will be the centerpiece of a family Christmas Eve service being held Monday, Dec. 24, at 5:00 PM at the Franklin Federated Church. The play was written by Pastor Charley Eastman and is directed by Raye Lynn Mercer. It features adults and children from the congregation. All are invited to attend this service, or to come to the candlelight service being held at 11:00 PM on Christmas Eve, featuring the church's chancel choir. Both services will be led by Pastor Charley.

 

Federated Church Names Director of Children’s Music Ministry

The Federated Church of Norfolk announced that Bonnie O’Connell has agreed to join its staff as the Director of Children’s Music Ministry and will begin her work with the children in September. O’Connell has been teaching music and technology in the Norfolk School System for the last thirty-five years and grew up in the church. The hope is the children’s choir will soon perform during the Sunday morning worship schedule. The days and times of rehearsals are yet to be determined, however choir rehearsals are likely to be on Sunday mornings either immediately before or after worship.
