FBC Carthage E-News
May 13, 2019
Good Morning,
We have had a great week
of Revival Services with Bro. Willie McLaurin and Bro. Jim Wilburn. If you missed the blessing of the services
you can watch them on our First Baptist Church Carthage Facebook page. It was moving to see many come to the altar
each evening. May the spirit of revival
continue to move among us and into the community. A special thanks to Crystal McCall for
playing the piano each service, the audio/visual team, and the revival choir
leading us in worship each evening.
Also, a special thanks to all who served in the preschool, caring for
the children during the service.
Yesterday was a day to
remember and honor our moms. I trust you
reached out to your mom and wished her a Happy Mother’s Day. For many it was a sad day of remembering
their mom, especially those whose moms died this past year.
The Tennessee Baptist
Children’s Homes receive their annual offering on Mother’s Day and we were glad
to have one of the house parents and their children share in the service. The Children’s Home is a great partner in
ministry to the children. For more
information on the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes go to: https://tennesseechildren.org/
As a special gift to
all members, guests, and friends of FBC Carthage we have subscribed to RightNow
Media which provides over 10,000 Bible study, marriage and parenting, and
children’s videos. The church is paying
the monthly fee for this resource and there is no cost to you to access for the
videos. There should be an email
invitation come to your Inbox with a link that leads you to the registration
page. You can also sign up for this free
resource by going directly to: https://www.rightnowmedia.
Each week I want to
highlight one of the RightNow Media videos in the E-News. This first highlight is the first session of
a marriage series titled Love and Respect.
This series by Emerson and Sarah Eggerichs is both humorous and
extremely helpful in understanding the dynamics in marriage. Our goal in providing RightNow Media to you
is to strengthen marriages, encourage parents, and grow as disciples of Jesus
Christ. Check out this resource today. You will need to register with RightNow Media
to view the video.

Media Video of the Week: https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/205316?episode=1
