God Called Preacher

What a blessing Church services were today. Those that were in attendance and others by internet got to hear and see our Pastor Bro. Charles A. Gentry not only preach the truth but got to see him receive a plaque of recognition for his 2000 funeral service. Jacky Carver & Jerry Claiborn with Sanderson Funeral Home and Robert Bass with Bass Funeral Home suprised Bro. Gentry by coming in and forward at the end of our service to award him with a plaque for 2000 funeral services. What a suprise to all of us and especially to Bro. Gentry. This was something that he did not know about. They honored him for his dedication to all people of all religions and being a great example of a fine Christian Man doing God's work in our community. Being a member of North Carthage I was truly proud and inspired by this award given to him in recognition of his service. Bro. Gentry is a very commited and obedient servant of Christ and a man of Honor for our Church and our community to look up too. I pray that God will give him several more years to Preach and hold funeral services to a lost and dying world. God Bless to All.

It was such a blessing to be in the service via the internet. We watch on most Sunday's from our home in Fort Bragg, NC. It was nice to see Brother Gentry being recognized for his service to the community. It was such a blessing to have him at my father's funeral in 1994. He touches so many people's lives in so many great ways. We look forward to the service each Sunday morning. It is such a sense of home and belonging to see him preach and to hear the choir and see familiar faces. I wish we could be there in person to worship with our church family, but it is great to beable to sit here and still be a part of it. It is amazing how many songs you can remember when you have grown up in the church. I find myself sitting here and singing along with the hyms from memory.
Thanks for all you do. God Bless each of you during this holiday season.

Bruce deserves a big pat on the back for all he does. Tell William he is in my prayers. Bobby was a fine man and I always enjoyed his visting. What every came of his stamp collection? We are truly blessed to have Bro. Gentry as our Pastor. Merry Christmas
