Calvary Baptist Church celebrated its 50th anniversary last Sunday, October 11th, in Cowpens, SC. When God planted this church in 1965, he used my Dad, Gene Franklin, to start it and we met in this little store-front building owned by Mr. Robert Murph. I cannot remember how many were there on the charter Sunday, but I do remember my mom and dad, my two sisters and myself. I was 10 years old so I am not sure if I was old enough to be a "charter member" on the list.
Back in 2010, I took the photo above and posted my memories of this "preacher's kid," growing up in Cowpens SC. There are three posts about those memories on my family blog "Our Journey of Life" and you can click the links below to read them...
