Welcome, VISITORS! The Lord’s church at Carthage is so honored to have you visit with us. Your presence indicates an interest in spiritual matters. We, too, have such an interest. We encourage you to study God’s Word with us and if you have questions or comments about what you hear and observe, please feel free to approach us. You are cordially invited to return at your earliest opportunity.
Attendance was good Sunday morning in spite of much sickness and some families out of town with “spring break” beginning over the weekend. Our attendance was down Sunday evening, but we enjoyed a wonderful service devoted to singing praises to God, as we have been doing on fourth Sunday nights for many years.
Contributions for March reflect an encouraging increase. God is good (James 1:17). Those who are thoughtful and thankful will respond accordingly in giving. Whether the amount we are prospered is great or small, we should give with loving gratitude. The poor widow cast but “two mites” into the treasury, but she gave with all her “might”! Let’s strive to do the same.
We will be hosting “Youth Unite” Sunday, April 10 at 5:00 P.M. Drew Milligan will be the speaker. A meal, featuring spaghetti, will be provided after the service. A food sheet is posted on the foyer bulletin board. Soft drinks and desserts are also needed. NOTE: We are missing a table in the annex. It will be needed for the large crowd we anticipate for youth night and the fish fry.
Check out the “Youth”, “Calendar”, and “Area” events sections elsewhere in the bulletin. Many opportunities for study and spiritual nurturing are available.
A special “Thank You” is extended to those who brought laundry detergent for Tennessee Children’s Home. So many of you respond to good works of this type on a regular basis. Every act of love in the name of the Lord is important.
A tender and touching portrayal of God is presented in the account of the “prodigal (waster) son” in Luke 15: “But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him” (v. 20, Emphasis added). God longs, looks, and loves. Why would any erring one not want to return to such a Father?! Come home.
I am glad you are here for our mid-week gathering. I hope to see you Sunday, too, our Lord willing.
