Good Morning,
Thank you for the generous
gift for Pastor Appreciation. I am thankful
for you and for such a caring, loving, and encouraging congregation. It is a joy to serve as your Pastor.
The morning worship
service was awesome this past week. If
you missed, I encourage you to go to First Baptist Church Carthage on Facebook or on fbcarthage on YouTube. Praise the Lord!
I remind you of the
Thanksgiving Challenge. Make a list of
those who have impacted your Christian life and express your appreciation and
thanksgiving for the difference they made in your life. Full details in the message from yesterday on
Facebook and Youtube.
The Trunk or Treat was a
huge event with over 400 people in attendance.
Thank you to all who decorated cars, brought candy, cooked food, and
helped in any way. It was so much fun to
see the community come and participate. Check
out the fun video made of the special event:

We also had a lot of fun
handing out candy and bottle water on Sunday night as Trick or Treaters came by
the church by the hundreds. We gave away
over 400 water bottles and many bags of candy.
Thank you to those who served in this special evening.
The 2021 Pregnancy Help
Center Banquet was the largest attendance 0f almost 140 people and raised over
$14,000. A special thanks to those who
cooked and those who served the food. It
was delicious and served in record time.
Reminder: This Saturday evening is Time Change. Fall Back.
Set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed. You may want to set them back in the
afternoon on Saturday to get a little used to the new time before Sunday
morning. For example, 3:00 PM would
become 2:00 PM.
Bring your extra winter
coats for our coat drive for New York City.
We will have a team travel for the annual “Coats for the City”
distribution on December 3-5. We will be
working with the Bridge Community Church.
You can drop your coats off at the Connection Point behind the
Sanctuary. If you are interested in being
a part of the team or helping sponsor a team member please contact Bro. Tim.
The Church Council and Deacons will meet this Sunday,
November 7 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM respectively.
Looking Ahead:
The Church-Wide Thanksgiving Dinner will be Sunday, November 21 at 5:30
PM in the Christian Life Center. This
meal will be covered dish with everyone bringing salads, vegetables, and
especially desserts to go along with turkey and dressing.

The RightNow Media video
series of the week is “Angels and Demons.”
Coming out of Halloween you may have
questions about the spirit world. Are
angels real? What about demons. The Bible teaches both are real and both intersect
with us in this world. Check out this
series to better understand the parallel universe of angels and demons. Session 1 begins with “The Heavenly Choir.” https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/1174
