We will have inflatables, food, and a lot of candy. The theme is “Truths from the Bible: Tis so Sweet.” The goal is to have many more cars decorated

to invite family, friends, and neighbors for this delightful evening
together. Help spread the word! We are also in need of candy to distribute
and ask everyone to bring individually wrapped candies and place them in
collection bins in the Connection Point.

The RightNow Media video
series of the week is “Dream Big.” We are
standing at the beginning of a new day at FBC Carthage. The call is to seek the Lord and dream
big. The Lord has gifted and prepared us
for carrying His gospel to Smith County, Tennessee, and to the world. In this
five-session video study bestselling author Bob Goff dares to ask the
questions: What would you do if opinion, reason, or probability were no
objects? What do you deeply desire to do even if it scares you to the marrow of
your bones? What were you meant to do even if no other person thinks you should? He shares stories from the Bible that show how God
called certain individuals to follow him—regardless of their lack of
"qualifications"—and how those people changed the world when they
dared to follow God's dreams for their lives. In the same way, God is calling
us to step into the version of our lives that he intended for us before others
told us it was impossible and once again dream big. Check out the first session entitled “Get
Ready to Dream Big:” https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/511897?episode=1
