Good Morning,
I remind you to be praying
for our nation during the month of October.
The most important thing we can do is to call upon 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.
This week begins early
voting for the upcoming Presidential election.
Early voting will be held at the Smith County Election Office in the
Turner Building, starting Wednesday, October 14. Times will be Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm and
Saturdays from 8am-12 noon. For more
information, contact the Election Commission at (615) 735-8241. Election Day will be Tuesday, November
3. Be praying for this historic election
and for God’s will to be done.
Attention Ladies: The Women on Mission group will meet tonight,
October 12 at 6:30 PM in the Christian Life Center. The special mission project for tonight will
be putting together Christmas Backpacks to distribute in the TBMB Appalachian
Ministry in East Tennessee. All ladies
are invited and urged to attend.
We praise the Lord for the
faithful giving of His people during this past month. Even with the pandemic and missing several
weeks of in-person services, we had the largest yearly giving to the church
budget in the history of FBC Carthage.
Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord during this challenging
time.
This Wednesday night,
October 14 will be our monthly business meeting at 6:30 PM in the Sanctuary. We
will receive recommendations from the Nominating Committee, Committee on Committees,
and Budget Committee. All church members
are invited and urged to attend as we move into a new church year of ministry
and missions.
We continue to provide access to online giving by
texting the word GIVE to 1-(615) 492-8661.
The first time you use the electronic giving, you will enter your giving
information. After that, you simply
enter the offering you wish to make.
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 collecting winter coats for the annual
coat give-away through our partner church in New York City. You can bring coats to the Connection Point
or contact the church office for shipping information to ship new coats
directly to Bridge Community Church in New York.
