FBC Carthage E-News
May 15, 2012
Good morning from Texas,
My family and I are in San Antonio this week taking a few
days to visit with our older daughter, Jill.
I appreciate Bro. Zeke and Bro. Brad covering the bases for me while I
am away. We will be back for the
services Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, this last week was a great service
with Baby Dedication for Titus Russell, Noah Vincent, and Colton Ferrell. The Lord has blessed us with great families
and several new babies to love and care for.
As I said in the dedication service, we as a church are charged with great responsibility
as the Lord entrusts families and children in our care. We are to pray for them, teach them, and show
them the love of Jesus.
One of the best ways we have to teach and reach children
is our Vacation Bible School. This year
promises to be a great year as we teach of our amazing, awesome God. I have attached a current listing of VBS
workers to this e-news. Look over the
list and join the team. Our Vacation
Bible School will be Sunday, June 10-Thursday, July 14 from 6:00 – 8:30 PM.
Pray for Josh Lynn and Taylor Reece today as they board an airplane for a six-week mission adventure in Kenya, Africa. Pray for safety and God’s empowerment for their work. This is an exciting time in their lives and in the life of our church. God’s call of our children and young adults is a wonderful blessing.
This week we welcome Anna Maxwell as our Summer
Intern. Anna will be serving in several
areas of ministry during the summer.
Pray for Anna during these ten weeks of ministry and missions.
The New York Chainsaw Team will be leaving this Sunday, May 20 for a mission trip to serve with Jim and Karen Wilburn in Long Island, New York. Pray for safety and a successful mission. We will commission the team at the end of the service this Sunday.
Here’s the news for the week:
1. The 6th grade class will promote
into the Youth Sunday School this Sunday, May 20.
2. Next Sunday, May 27 will be our Memorial Day
Picnic at Crump Paris Park Kid’s Central Pavilion. The fun begins around 4:00 PM and the picnic
at 5:30 PM. Bring family and friends for
this enjoyable evening together at the park.
We will have our evening service at the pavilion at approximately 6:00
PM.
3. Please be praying for the four members of the Mission Team to Naples, Italy from FBC Carthage. They will join with more than fifty youth and leaders from across the Tennessee Baptist Convention. The trip will be May 31-June 10.
4. The Senior Adult Fellowship will go to Helen’s Restaurant in Gainesboro, TN for dinner on Friday, June 1. We will leave from the church parking lot at 5:00 PM.
5. Here is the updated list of VBS workers for June 10-14, 2012. Contact Bro. Tim or Lisa Reece to be a part of the team.
