FBC Carthage E-News
October 5, 2020
Good Morning,
During the month of
October we are praying specifically for our nation. There are a few of the “31 Days of Prayer for My Nation” booklets
left if you haven’t picked one up. This
emphasis will encourage and challenge each one to pray for the country and
elected leaders each day. The most
important and impacting action we can take is to call upon the Almighty God to
bring a spiritual awakening and revival to our land. During October, let’s talk less and pray more
for the issues facing our nation.
As we pray, we pray for
President Trump and the First Lady as they continue to battle the Corona
virus. Pray for a speedy recovery and
strength for our President.
Wednesday night Student
Ministry Re-Launch is in full swing as the 7-12 grade students are urged to
join Bro. Matt at the FBC Carthage Student Ministry Facebook page at 6:30
PM. In-person youth group meetings will
begin Pass the word and invite your friends to join the Student Ministry
Re-Launch!
As we relaunch the
Wednesday Student Ministry, we will also be evaluating and planning toward
offering Wednesday night meals for individuals and families to eat in the
Christian Life Center before the evening activities. To help us in planning, if you would be
interested in coming to eat Wednesday night meals from 5-6 PM, text the word EAT to 1-615-395-6161 or call
the church office at (615) 735-1929.
The Women on Mission group
will meet next Monday, October 12 at 6:30 PM in the Christian Life Center. All ladies are invited to attend as they put
together Christmas Backpacks to distribute in the TBMB Appalachian Ministry in
East Tennessee.
The Women on Mission will
be sponsoring the Soul Food Café luncheon this Thursday, October 8 at Tennessee
Tech Baptist Collegiate Ministry. The
menu is a little different with the COVID-19 guidelines, but our smiles and
care for the students will be the same.
Pray for the college and university students as they receive their
education in the midst of this pandemic.
During this regathering time, we will continue
to provide access to the text giving option.

Thank you for your gifts to the Golden Offering for
Tennessee Missions. There are many
mission points throughout our state that are benefited by this offering. The work on 14 college campuses is one of
those areas of work. Here is the video
we saw in the service yesterday, highlighting the work of the BCM: https://vimeo.com/438680953
You can still be a part of this offering by texting
the keyword GOLDEN to our online giving platform: 1-(615) 492-8661.
Trunk or Treat will be Wednesday, October 28 and
we will be doing things a little differently.
Due to COVID-19 we will do a drive through Trunk of Treat down Fite
Avenue. Candy and a sack supper will be
distributed in this drive-through event.
If you would like to help with this fun event contact Matt or Elizabeth
Davis. You can also bring bags of candy
to the Connection Point to donate for the children.
We are using several texting platforms to help
with giving and communication during this pandemic. For giving, text GIVE to 615.492.8661. For communication, text WELCOME to
615.395.6161.
The
RightNow Video Series of the Week is entitled, “What the Women Saw.” Through
these six videos, you will discover who Jesus is through the unique perspective
of women in the Bible. As you study the lives of Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene
and others, you will learn from their faith and failures and be reminded that
Jesus cared for and valued the women he was surrounded by. He equipped them,
listened to them, walked with them, healed them, and empowered them. And he
does the same for you now. Check out the
trailer at: www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/388292?episode=Trailer
