CARTHAGE CHURCH OF CHRIST

from the preacher's heart

5/11/2016

 

          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 great interest in things divine.  We encourage you to study God’s Word with us.  If you have questions or comments about what you hear and observe, please feel free to approach us.  Please come again!
          We are dedicating this issue of Smith County Light to those who are graduating.  Graduation is a major milestone in life.  It speaks of years of study and hard work.  It is accompanied by a sense of accomplishment and, at least in some cases, a sense of relief on the part of the student and the parents.  It also lends itself to opportunity which varies with the degree of application of what has been learned.  I wish to add my personal congratulations to all those, whose pictures and/or names appear in the adjoining columns.  I know I speak for numerous others as we wish you God’s blessings in your future endeavors.  Always keep Him in your plans, your work, and your life.
          Our Vacation Bible School is rapidly approaching.  June 6-10 is the date.  We will begin the sessions at 6:30 P.M. this year – thirty minutes earlier than in previous years.  Please circle the date on your calendar.  Begin now to invite others – especially the little ones, middle-schoolers, and teenagers.  Of course there will be nightly classes for adults as well. So invite them, too!  We have  an excellent slate of speakers to address a grand theme – “Growing Our Spiritual Fruits”, a study of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).  The first lesson (“Self-control”) will be delivered on Sunday morning, then four other lessons will be studied Monday through Thursday, with awards given Friday.
          A special thanks to all who assisted with the devotional at Kindred on the first Sunday.   This is always an enjoyable time with the residents.  We will have our next service there in August (7th), as we alternate with Rome and Montrose.
          The new white chairs and tables for the annex have been purchased and delivered.  They will be much lighter (in color and weight), than the older ones. They are much easier to move and arrange. They are supposed to be very durable as well.  Several have been involved in selecting the new, removing the old, and just getting it done.  Thanks to everyone!
          I appreciate the comments received regarding recent sermons.  It is a distinct joy to preach the word and to receive encouragement from those who love and respect it.
          I am glad you are here for the mid-week service.  I hope to see you Sunday morning, our Lord willing.    

Edward L Anderson
