Good Morning,
The Spring season is upon
us and we are moving quickly into our special events and celebration services
surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection or our Savior, Jesus Christ. Yesterday we began a Sunday morning series
entitled “The Road to the Cross” in
which we are looking at the 24 hours leading up to the death of Jesus. As we look forward to this season of
celebration, here are the special events coming up at FBC Carthage:
March 14 Christ in
the Passover 6:00 PM
A
representative from Chosen People Ministry in Israel will be with us to share the
elements and description of a Jewish Passover meal and explain the significance
of each part of the meal as it relates to Jesus Christ. We will enjoy a
delicious supper in the Christian Life Center as part of this Passover
presentation. The presentation will
begin at 6:00 PM with the meal incorporated in after approximately 40
minutes. Invite your family to share
this special time with you as we prepare to celebrate Easter.
