Youth Group is back in full swing! God is already on the move. Last night we made our way through James 1:2-12 and looked the reality of trial and how to count them all joy knowing that they produce something in us that holds eternal value! Big thanks to all who are pulling together to help. We have a wonderful group of dedicated leaders and volunteers! |

For the months of March & April we will be taking up a special offering for the North American Mission Board's Annie Armstrong Easter Offering! This specific offering goes directly to the missionaries funded by NAMB. For more information click here! We have set a $3,000 goal this year. If the Lord is leading you to give you will find special envelopes in the chair backs in front of you. Place your offering in the envelope and drop it in the offering back in the back! |

Easter Basket Item Collection |
|
|
What started as a small effort from one faithful saint here at FBC Weston has grown into one of the largest outreach opportunities to our community! We are collecting items to construct Easter Baskets for the children in our community. Think candies (not chocolate), grass, small toys and trinkets, coloring books, pens, pencils, and tract information that shares the Gospel. We will collect the items until the day we construct the baskets. That date is still TBD. Please collect and bring the items to the church and leave in the copy room (former Secretary Office). |

Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters,
As I reflect on yesterday I am filled with gratitude. The Elders & I met last night and discussed some really wonderful spiritual work the Lord is doing in the lives of our families. As we were reflecting we realized that it is a part of the larger work God is doing in our church family! As we were participating in the meal at the end of service I was struck, yet again, of God's extraordinary work through ordinary means. Here at the table of wine and broken bread we truly find all we need. Everything that is happening in our church (just like that the calendar started filling!) is an overflow of that. We are filled up and spilling over. Oh, what a joy it is to follow Jesus! I do hope that you walked away yesterday encouraged by our time together.
There are lots of new items on the calendar. Be sure to take note of those and involve yourself in the "Life at First Baptist"! I sure am grateful to get to share in it with you.
I want to remind you that the Church Office will be closed today as I am going to be traveling to Jefferson City for an Executive Board Meeting today and tomorrow. Pastor Daniel will be in tomorrow morning.
Have a grace filled day, |
