FBC Carthage E-News
August 5, 2019
Good morning,
This is a special week in
the lives of teachers and families as a new school year begins. There is an excitement as the children get
back to the classes. This week we are
all encouraged to pray for the students, teachers, and workers in the various
schools throughout the county. The
prayer card from yesterday’s bulletin has seven areas of prayer as we begin the
new year. Remember to pray for the
school listed on your card, as well as the schools directly connected to your
family. May the Lord bless our schools.
Our special Fellowship
Revival is this week with the local Baptist churches in the New Salem Baptist
Association. Each service will begin at
6:30 PM. Everyone is urged to attend
these special services, especially tonight as we gather at First Baptist. Make you plans to attend each night as we
seek the renewing and reviving power of the Holy Spirit to stir in our
hearts. Here is the schedule for this week’s Fellowship
Revival services:
Monday, August 5 @ First
Baptist Church Carthage with
Bro. Wayne Malone from
Rome Baptist
Tuesday, August 6 @ Rome
Baptist Church with
Bro. Bill York from
Riddleton Baptist
Wednesday, August 7 @ Smith
County Ag Center with
Dr. Larry Robertson,
pastor of Hilldale Baptist Church, Clarksville
Worship led by Scott
Shepherd & family
In the spirit of Revival
and a new football season, the RightNow Media video series for this week is “ONE
(The Woodlawn Story). In 1973, Birmingham was torn by racism and hate. God
worked through the Woodlawn high school football team to unite the city and
ignite a spiritual awakening. This revival was nothing short of miraculous.
Could it happen again? ONE (The Woodlawn Study) features powerful scenes and exclusive footage from the
movie Woodlawn to discover the answer...it only takes one person to start a
revolution. What if that person is you? With teaching by Pastors Dave Stone and
Dr. Tony Evans, ONE (The Woodlawn Study) prepares your heart to experience and embrace a
move of God. Check out the first video in this powerful series: https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/186997
