Small Group Formation

Last night we held an informational meeting about the possibility of starting a small group ministry here at Franconia Baptist Church. The meeting was a great success and ended with a strong affirmation that people who really like to have this ministry at our church. We are looking forward to launching a number of these small groups starting in September.

The purpose for putting these small groups together is to provide a place for discipleship and growth within the context of authentic Christian relationships.

If you would like to be a part of one of these new groups, please send Kati an email (kati@franconiabaptist.org).

Sharing Christ on the 4th of July

Every year for the past 24 years an event called Christ on the Mall has been held on the 4th of July. This year COTM was given two blocks worth of space between the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and the National Gallery of Art. On that prime realestate we hand out free water, share the Gospel, and play live music for some of the nearly 700,000 people waiting all day for the fireworks.

What an unbelievable opportunity this is. This was the first year that our church participated in the event. We brought 11 people from our church as well as a couple of my friends from Indiana. Some of us even had an opportunity to be there when people accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The real work begins now in following up with all those who made professions of faith. We are working to make sure that they get connected with a quality church where they live. Please pray that all those who heard the Gospel would be called and that those who accepted would begin to grow.
