FBC Weston Youth Group |
|

FBC Weston's Youth Group is back! Pastor Ricky will be jumping back in to helping lead FBC Weston's Youth Ministry. We will begin gathering every Sunday from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Youth Group is a place for students in grades 6-12th to gather to grow in fellowship with likeminded brothers and sisters in Christ and grow deeper in God's Word. The time is loosely structured for allowance of group games/activities, fellowship around food, and a Bible study led by one of our Pastors of Youth Leaders. With the Super Bowl this weekend there will not be youth Sunday, February 9th. Please stay tuned for more update regarding Youth Ministry.
Pastor Ricky will begin a study through the Book of James on February 16th! |

Illness in the Church: There has been a lot of illness but everyone appears to be on the mend! Please continue to pray for the health of our members.

The Mitra send off was a such a great time. Special shoutout to our wonderful Hospitality Team for their great work in pulling this off. Thank you to those who were able to come out and send them off in style. They will still be with us the next couple of weeks so you have time to say goodbye! |

Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters,
I mentioned the above quote in yesterday's sermon. I hung this next to my desk at home as a reminder. God is the one at work and all through history He has done that work through faithful nobodies. If I can encourage you to make it a personal endeavor be a faithful nobody. Go love your neighbor well, share the hope of Jesus with them, and let God have all the glory!
It is such a joy & privilege to be on this mission with you, |
