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,
I hope that you're enjoying this warm weather. It looks like for the foreseeable future this is what things are going to look like. Get out and enjoy it. Spring is always a beautiful reminder that through death God has brought forth new life! In just a few short weeks we will celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus that did just that for our dead souls.
Who are you inviting to come celebrate? Would you begin now to pray about that one person you would like to invite to visit FBC Weston on Resurrection Sunday? That one person you've been hopeful God would open the door for a spiritual conversation with? Maybe it is a neighbor? An old friend? Or a co-worker? Maybe it is family? Resurrection Sunday is an easy one. While the cultural pressure to be a part of a church is relatively low in our day there is still something in many people that think they should be in church on Easter. Let that give you a little confidence and go ahead and invite that person or those people to join us. Who knows what God might do?!
I know we are already looking forward to celebrating with you!
I'll be in and out of the Office this week due to Valjean's Memorial Service. Please feel free to reach out via email or phone anytime. I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can. Pastor Daniel should be here his regular hours this week.
Have a grace filled week! |
