St. Joseph PRC Bottle &

Thank you all so very much! We collected so much for the St. Joseph PRC. This great organization has done so much for the cause of Christ in upholding the sanctity of life. The items will be collected TODAY and taken to the center. Don't worry! We collect items through the entire year. The table will remain in the east hallway and items can be dropped off there. When it gets full we will plan another trip. Thank you for being a church that is for the Kingdom! |

Partnering with the Navigators |

A portion of FBC Weston's Hospitality Team was able to partner with the Navigators this past weekend. Chris Munsterman, Navigators Staff at Mizzou, brought 75+ college men and staff on a Men's Retreat to God's Mountain. FBC Weston was able to provide all the food and some of the Hospitality Team was able to serve the students. |

Easter Basket Item Collection |
|
|
It is crazy to think that we are already discussing Easter but here we are! We are about a month away from Resurrection Sunday and from one of the biggest community outreach opportunities. For the last several years we have collected items and assembled Resurrection (Easter) Baskets for the children in our community. What started as a small effort has grown to a very large one. Each year we've made more baskets and each year the baskets have all been accounted for. This has been a tremendous blessing to many families in our community. For a comprehensive list of items to consider you can click here! Items can be brought to the Church Office during the week or on Sunday mornings. We will be collecting the items until March 16th. Then, on that date we are gathering at the church to assemble the baskets as a church. This will be a great time of prayer, fellowship, and work together to the glory of God! Lunch will be provided! |

Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters, I want to thank Steve for preaching in my absence this past week. I was incredibly blessed by his exposition through the first 12 verses of Matthew 5. May we all be reminded of God's great blessing in sending us His Son, the ultimate kingdom blessing! The Sands Family had a great time seeing our good friends off. It was a great time to catch up with old friends, worship as a family, and to honor John & Tessa for their great faithfulness to the Lord and Westbrooke Church. Heads up! I will be sending out a few different emails this week. Hang in there with me. There are a few things that I believe to be matters of importance and deserving of their own email so they don't get buried in an email like this one. God is doing great work here at FBC Weston and I consider it one of the greatest privileges of my life to get to be a part of it with you! On mission with you, |
