Good Morning,
Thank you to Paul Stouder
for preaching both services yesterday.
It was a blessing to listen in and be blessed by the messages. I encourage you to watch the services on
Facebook or Youtube if you happened to miss.
The Sunday Morning Service began a new series entitled “A Life of
Thanksgiving” as Paul shared on the importance of singing. It will bless you as you listen.
This Wednesday, October 27
at 5:30 PM is our Trunk or Treat event on Fite Avenue and inside the Christian
Life Center. Vehicles will be lined up
on Fite Avenue handing out candy. Food
and inflatables will be inside the Christian Life Center. The
theme is “Truths from the Bible: Tis so
Sweet.” Help spread the word! Invite family, friends, and neighbors for
this delightful evening together. Everyone
is invited and urged to attend. This is
a great opportunity to meet and greet the people in our community.
The Women on Mission will
meet on Monday, October 25 at Hickman Baptist Church for the Quarterly Meeting
with the churches from the Association.
The program begins at 6:00 PM.
The Mission Team to
Guatemala will be sharing. The ladies
will gather in the church parking lot and leave at 5:30 PM.
We are planning to have a community
ministry tent outside the Sanctuary on Sunday, October 31 to hand our water,
candy, and greet those trick or treating in Downtown Carthage. If you can help in this ministry, simply come
to the front of the church and join in.
This ministry effort will be instead of the evening worship service.
The New Salem Association

ride together. The cost for the
credentials is $36. For more

The RightNow Media video
series of the week is “Talking to Your Kids about Jesus.” Homes where deep and meaningful faith
conversations happen regularly aren’t the product of lucky parents. They’re the
product of intentional parents who believe nothing is more important than
raising kids to know and love Jesus. In this six-session series, author Natasha
Crain offers parents tools and encouragement for creating low-grade, consistent
efforts to clarify who Jesus is, why he matters, and how kids can live impacted
by their faith in him. https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/493404?episode=Trailer
