CARTHAGE CHURCH OF CHRIST

from the preacher's heart

2/17/2016

 
Welcome, VISITORS!  We are so honored to have you visit with us.  Your presence indicates an interest in spiritual matters.  We encourage you to study God’s Word with us and if you have questions or comments, please feel free to approach us.  You are cordially invited to return at your earliest opportunity.
          Attendance was down Sunday due to weather and an inordinate amount of sickness.  It doesn’t seem to be any trouble for it to snow this winter – three already!  And the various “bugs” seem to quite active, too (See News & Notes section.) We hope everyone will soon be feeling much better.
          The first six Sundays of 2016 have seen our contributions average above budget.  Your generosity will be blessed.  Paul placed giving on a level with faith, utterance, knowledge, diligence, and love (2 Cor. 8:6).  He urged the Corinthians to “abound” in liberality as they did in the other “graces”.  The will to give begins with giving ourselves to the Lord and committing ourselves to the doing of His will in all things (2 Cor. 8:5).
          A big “THANK YOU” is extended to those who assisted with the devotionals at the Pavilion and at Kindred on the fifth and first Sundays respectively.  This is a good work which is encouraging to the residents of these facilities and also to those of us who are involved.  Be a part and your life will be blessed.
          Justin, R. W., and I, along with Stan Stevenson and Tim Owens from Rome, traveled to Henderson for the FHU Lectures last Monday (8th).  Cobie and Shirley Sadler drove down on Sunday.  Leaving at 4:30 AM and returning at 9:00 PM made for a rather long, but very rewarding day. The lessons and the fellowship were excellent.  Dale Sadler, Ben Flatt, and many other capable speakers delivered profitable lessons.  As usual there was quite a change in the weather, but we returned home safely.
          Please be sure to consult our “Calendar of Events” section and reserve the dates on your calendar for those events.  All are important, but give special attention to those that will contribute to our spiritual growth – VBS, JSCYC, the Annual Singing, and Gospel Meeting.  Avoid scheduling vacations, etc. for those dates.  Parents with young children should plan for them to take part in Bible Bowl and other activities for our youth.  “Seek first the kingdom…” (Matthew 6:33)
          Bible Bowl note:  The book of Leviticus is the subject matter for this year’s event.  Chapter 15 will be excluded.            
          We are glad you came to our mid-week gathering.  I hope to see you Sunday, our Lord willing.                 
                                   
                                                         Edward L Anderson
