Good
Morning,
Tonight is
an exciting evening of preaching and challenge at the Associational Evangelism
Conference. We will meet at New
Middleton Baptist Church at 7:00 PM with the other churches of the New Salem
Baptist Association and hear a challenging message from Bro. Roc Collins, the
new Tennessee Baptist Evangelism Director.
Plan now to attend this inspiring meeting focused on our primary goal of
reaching lost people with the Gospel of Christ.
Bro. Roc will meet with church leaders such as pastors, deacons and Sunday
School teachers at 6:00 PM for a discussion of vision and strategy for reaching
more people through the local church. Here
is a message Bro. Roc preached online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw99tK4n9rc
See you tonight.
Friday night, March 3 is
a special evening for married couples called Marriage Encounter. We will watch and discuss the single most
important factor in your marriage and share how to maximize your relationship
with your spouse. We begin at 6:00 PM
with soup and sandwiches and the entire event should last around 2 hours. We still need one additional pot of soup and
some desserts. You can send a note to me
at tfrank@fbccarthage.com if you can bring a dish. We are also enlisting helpers for childcare
for that evening.
I appreciate the work of
the Gideons and enjoyed Troy Human sharing in the service yesterday as we
focused on the Bible. The Gideons are in
over 200 countries distributing the Bible in over 100 languages. Since their beginning in 1908, they have
distributed over 2 Billion Bibles! For
more information on the Gideons check out their website at: www.gideons.org.
I hope you are reading with
us on the journey of reading through the Bible in 2017. If you haven’t started, March is a perfect
time to join in as we begin the book of Deuteronomy. Bible Pathways are available in the front
foyer and in the Connection Point. You
can also find the daily guides online at http://www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/biblepathways/.

New City Church in New York City recently sent this request
for help during their Easter service. It
may be just the mission experience for you:
As
you know, Easter is right around the corner (April 16 to be exact). Even in
NYC, Easter is a big Sunday where we see a great increase in attendance. Where
the challenge presents itself for us is in our Children's Area. You see,
our community is predominantly young couples and young families. In a nutshell,
we have more kids attend than we have volunteer workers. If you, or someone in your church, is looking
for a mission opportunity in NYC we could use your help. We are looking for 10
folks from our partner churches who would be willing to come up the weekend of
Easter to help in our Children's Area.
For more information contact Jeremy Digsby at jeremy@new-citychurch.com.

grief alone. The sessions are open to everyone and there is no cost to
attend.
