DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IN THE CROSS AND FLAME?
SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO NANCY CATER AT [email protected] OR DROP IT OFF AT CHURCH.
The Franklin Grove UnitedMethodist Church will
be hosting an open house on Friday, June 17th at
6pm in celebration ofPastor Karl and Ann Sokol’s
time spent serving our church and the community.
They survived Franklin Grove, let's see ifthey can
"survive" their send off! It will be a potluck/picnic
meal and we ask that you bring a dish to pass.
Please dress accordingly as we may be outside and
playing games. PUBLIC INVITED
Also we are looking for anyone that would want to
share a song, bible reading, story, etc., with regard
to the Sokol’s imprint on our lives. Words cannot
express how much we will miss them so come and
show them your “attitude ofgratitude” by taking
part in this bittersweet occasion.
Farewell
Dear Friends
Ifyou have any questions/suggestions please
