👑 THY KINGDOM COME 👑

This Sunday at First Baptist Aledo, Pastor Steven Stern will be preaching from Acts 1:1–11 in a message titled Thy Kingdom Come.

Jesus gave His followers a mission, a promise, and the power to be His witnesses. What does it mean for us to faithfully live out that mission as we wait for His return?

Saturday, September 19th, the FBC prayer team is hosting a time in the church sanctuary to pray for our nation, specifically the Middle East conflict.

The church will be open from 8am to noon. We'll have prayer prompts on the screen in the sanctuary to use if you want.

This is not a program but a time to come and go as your time permits. We know you can pray wherever you are, but there's something powerful about praying with “boots on the ground” at our church. We hope you'll consider it.

🌦️ **A little rain couldn’t stop Praise in the Park!** 🌦️

We may have dodged a few raindrops today, but we certainly didn’t let them stop us from celebrating Jesus! 🙌

What a **GREAT day** at Praise in the Park Family Fest! We had so many people gather together to hear a powerful message about Jesus, lift our voices in amazing worship, enjoy a delicious lunch catered by **Mercer Market**, and cool off with the BIG hit of the day—**Snazzy Lemonade snow cones!** 🍧😋

The kids had a blast with water inflatables, games, and plenty of fun! 💦🎉

But perhaps one of the most special moments of the day was celebrating **Charlotte’s baptism!** 💧❤️ What a beautiful picture of her faith in Jesus and her decision to follow Him. We are so thankful we could celebrate this important step in her faith journey together as a church and community. **“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead... we too may live a new life.” — Romans 6:4**

**To everyone in the Aledo community who came out today—THANK YOU!** ❤️ We are so grateful you chose to spend part of your Sunday with us. It was a joy to worship, laugh, eat, play, and celebrate Jesus together!

And to all of our FBC volunteers who served, cooked, set up, cleaned up, led worship, worked with kids, and helped make today possible—**thank you!** You were a blessing.

**All glory to God for another wonderful Praise in the Park Family Fest!** 🙏💙 What a beautiful day to celebrate Jesus, share His love, and make memories together! We'll be dropping more photos later this week but here's a few from the 2026 Praise In the Park Family Fest!
