FBC Carthage E-News
September 23, 2018
Good Morning,
Last week was a wonderful
time of fellowship with other believers from the churches in Smith County as we
worshipped and heard the word proclaimed.
Thanks to all those who participated and served in the Tent Revival at
Crump Paris Park.
This Saturday, September
29 is a special community outreach for our church during the William Walton Day
festival in downtown Carthage. We will
have the MAIN ATTRACTION for children, the inflatables. Volunteers are needed in monitoring the
inflatables, talking to the families, and representing the church. We will have three main shifts 9:00 - 11:00
AM; 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM, and 1:00 – 3:00 PM.
Wear your mission shirt and come be a part of our outreach to the
community this Saturday. Let me know
what time you would like to serve. We
will also be distributing information about the FBC Carthage Trunk or Treat
Fall Festival which is coming up on Wednesday, October 24.
This Tuesday, September
25, the GriefShare study will be dealing with regrets, “If only’s…” and “What
if’s…” that often haunt the grieving person and make the journey so
painful. If you are struggling with
these feelings or you know someone who is, come to this support group that
meets on Tueesday, 6:00 PM at the Chamber of Commerce building on Upper Ferry
Road. You don’t have to walk through grief
alone.
We will be collecting
coats through November to carry to New York Cite and distribute as part of New
City Church’s “Coats for the City.”
These can be new or used coats of any size, children and adults. You can bring your coats to the Connection
Point and place in the boxes provided. There
is still time for you to be a part of the New York Mission Team, November
29-December 2. For more information you
can contact Bro. Tim or Bro. Matt at (615) 735-1929.
We welcome and rejoice
with Montana Robertson on her profession of faith in yesterday’s service. We will plan baptism this Sunday, September 30. If you have trusted Jesus as Savior but never
followed Him obediently in baptism, contact me this week and we will make plans
for you.
Have a blessed week,
Bro. Tim
