FBC Carthage E-News
April 23, 2018
Good Morning,
There is an excitement
building as we move closer to graduations and the conclusion of another school
year. This year there are several
graduates from FBC Carthage and we will be recognizing them on Sunday, May 6 in
the 10:45 AM service. We will also have
a church-wide covered dish luncheon in their honor immediately following the
service. This is always a special day
as we pray for the graduates, celebrate their achievements, and wish them well
in their further education and careers.
This is an important day in our church and we would not want to leave
anyone out, so please look over the list below and let me know if there are
others to be recognized on May 6. If so,
send their names to tfrank@fbccarthage.com. Here is a
