This morning, as I work from my living room, watching out the window as Weston is put on pause I reminded of the reality of our fallen world. Sometimes, I must admit that I can forget that Weston is not a bubble in which we live, free from the stain of sin. Certainly, we live in a relatively safe town and for that I grateful, but we mustn't forget that just like sin has touched every aspect of our being it likewise has spread to every hidden pocket in our world. As we pray for local law enforcement, for the man so ensnared by his sin to make such poor life altering decisions, and for our community may we do so with humility and sobriety. Paul writes, “But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.” (Romans 5:15)

Beginning Monday, August 31, 2026 FBC Weston's Office Hours will be changing.

Notifications of church and office closures will come through regular forms of communication. While these hours are for working on administrative duties, sermon preparation, and Sunday morning service planning these are also the hours for welcomed drop-ins and/or meetings. 

Pastor Ricky will be moving his day off to Mondays to spend time resting with family and will be unavailable with the exception of emergency pastoral needs. While the Church Office will remain closed on Fridays Pastor Ricky will be available by appointment and/or digital means.

The Sands' will be hosting a new Bible Study beginning August 12th. The time runs from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a meal. The study will utilize Midwestern Seminary's For the Church Institue's dive into Church History. The first leg of the study will span the next 10 weeks and cover the early church up to the Reformation. Then, in the Winter we will study the Reformation forward.  Contact Pastor Ricky and join us at the Sands Residence this Wednesday if you are interested in jumping in! 

Isaiah served as God’s mouthpiece to the nation of Judah but also to the surrounding nations. His message echoes into our lives today as we read his call to rely on the Lord. Using the genres of poetry, narrative, and prophecy, Isaiah communicated clearly that followers of God could trust in Him.

As you study the chapters Isaiah wrote—from his challenging words to the nation of Israel to his prophecies of the Messiah to come—learn to rest in God's promises and grow in trust. Unpacking Isaiah’s words will reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.

From the opening chapters of Genesis through the final verses of Revelation, God is known by many names—names that reveal who He is, what He does, and how He relates to His children. He is El-Roi, “the God who sees me.” He is Jesus, “the Lord is salvation.” He is the Spirit, your Comforter and Counselor. And you? You have a name, too. You are His beloved child, a Christian, one who bears His name.

In this 8-session Bible study for women, teachers Kristi McLelland, Caroline Saunders, Blair Linne, Jennifer Rothschild, Kelly Minter, and Elizabeth Woodson will walk you through the pages of Scripture. Together, you’ll examine names for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and you’ll discover the impact each of God’s names has on your relationship with Him. Each name you encounter will inspire you to worship God for who He is and challenge you to consider how your life can be transformed in light of His character.

We are excited to bring back the Men & Children's Campout! Plan on joining us for a night of fun, fellowship, and worship around the fire. This is a night that is centered around encouraging and equipping men to lead as God designs and desires. The campout isn't just for Dads but for all men in all seasons of life. Men are encouraged to bring their children and all children are invited if their Dads aren't able to come. We will have plenty of chaperones!
