Dear Members and Friends of First Presbyterian Church,
The Session has called an Interim Pastor.
He is the Rev. Samuel H. (Sam) Pope,
currently living in Chattanooga, Tennessee where he has just
finished an interim pastorate.
He and his wife Cora Jane will be arriving in Franklin the week
of March 15th.
He is to let us know the definite date as soon as
arrangements are made with the movers.
A house has been found to be rented here in Franklin.
Sam will be preaching for the first time in our pulpit on March
21st
– the Sunday before Palm Sunday.
The service that Sunday will be only one service at the
eleven o’clock hour.
The Nine O’clock Service for March 21st
is cancelled. We
hope everyone will make every effort to be present for this
special service of welcome for Sam and Sara Jane.
He plans to follow our usual pattern of services for
Easter Week. You
will be hearing from him in bulletin inserts over the weeks
leading up to March 21 and in the April
First Word
on the Pastor’s Page.
God is good!
Cardy White,
Chair, Interim Search Committee
Members of the Interim Search Committee:
