Check out the first Franklin Living of 2018

We know you love Franklin Living, and we have good news – the newest issue is now available.

Every issue of Franklin Living has a theme. Some themes are fluid and change year to year – like education, the outdoors, agriculture or arts and music. There are three themes, however, that we return annually. One is our issue featuring veterans, the military and patriotism, every July/August. Another is the pets issue, March/April. And the third theme we encore each year is our faith/religion issue – recurring each January/February.

We have plenty of extra copies of our latest issue of Franklin Living at the office, and we hope you will take the opportunity to pick up a copy for yourself or a friend.

We are excited to feature three great stories of faith in this issue: the H.U.N.T. ministry at Mountain View Baptist; the church library at Red Bay First Baptist; and the joint Easter service in Russellville.

These stories will introduce you to Bible-believing, God-fearing friends and neighbors in Franklin County and the variety of ways they seek to reach people in their communities with the gospel.

We hope you take the time to sit with a copy of this issue and flip through the pages, perusing these stories as well as our regular features: Looking Back, Faces of Franklin County and Cooking with Sam.

Each issue of Franklin Living is something we work diligently to create, producing top-notch content for you, our readers. We thoroughly enjoy it, and we hope you do as well.
