Churchlife News & Events
The Christian holiday Lent begins Ash Wednesday, lasting 40 days (excluding Sundays). Representing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, Lent is a time in our faith to reflect, fast, and give penance in preparation of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
CORONAVIRUS COVD-19 UPDATE
In response to Centers for Disease Control and Presbytery of Coastal Carolina protocol, all events, activities, gatherings, meetings, worship services, etc. at FPC Carthage
are canceled through April.
May's schedule will be announced by the FPC Session on or after April 30th, 2020.

Through our deep faith and trust in God, may we continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit as the Body of Christ beyond the church walls - connecting through phone calls, emails, social media, and most importantly, through our prayers. May the peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding be with you in the coming days.
