A LINE FROM DANNY

Yesterday, (Sunday, September 8th) First Baptist Church, Franklinton, Louisiana held its first “September Encounter” Sunday with a goal of 272 in Sunday school. Our “Adult Encounter” reached its goal with 273 in Sunday school! Praise God! Numbers don’t give a complete picture of church growth but it does represent people encountering God’s Word together. Next Sunday’s goal is 300 for our Youth Encounter Sunday. If you would like to know more about this emphasis, contact me at dannyr@huntcom.net.
