This Tuesday we host our annual Fields of Faith on Eagle Field. Thankful for a community and school district that supports this event and grateful for the hearts of the students that lead it. We hope you’ll join us Tuesday as we worship and glorify our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We will open the gates and begin serving pizza at 6:30, worship starts at 7:00. See you at the field!

Last week in our Re|engage Marriage Ministry discussion we talked about conflict and this week we will talk about forgiveness.

🅻🅸🅴: My marriage shouldn’t be this hard.

🆃🆁🆄🆃🅷: 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚, 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒅. 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 —𝒏𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓 - 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒆𝒔. Conflict doesn't mean that you made a mistake or should give up. Ephesians 4:1-3 says to "walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." No one passively arrives at a great marriage. Oneness takes effort.

Tonight, in this room, we gathered for our second session of Re|engage & spent time on our Life Maps—sharing our stories and learning more about the experiences that have shaped our marriages.

Every session brings something special as we watch God move in marriages and bring real change. We’ve seen couples grow closer, find healing, learn to communicate differently, and rediscover hope in their marriage. The testimonies that come out of Re|engage are powerful!

And Re|engage isn’t just for FBC—it’s open to couples throughout our community. If you’ve ever considered a marriage study, we highly recommend Re|engage!

New groups will be starting next semester. Reach out if you have questions or want to learn more! (Call 325.648.3369 or email [email protected])

𝐖𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃!

You told us what you’d love to see at future ladies’ events—and we’re making it happen!

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘎𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 -
𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘕𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 2𝘯𝘥 @ 6𝘱𝘮 -
𝘍𝘉𝘊 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳

Think of it like a farmers market… but a lot better and way more intentional.

Here’s how it works:

Bring 10 of the SAME item to share (individually wrapped).

It can be something you’ve made OR one of your favorite things if crafting and baking aren’t your thing!

Think eggs, jam, syrups, bread, granola, cookies, mini-cakes, scrunchies, lotions, candles, paintings, bookmarks, framed quilt squares —and everything in between!

𝐖𝐞’𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬!

You’ll swap your 10 items with the other ladies, and everyone will leave with at least 10 different goodies to take home!

But this is about more than what’s in the basket. It’s about gathering, sharing and making new friends.

𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆… 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆, 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒅, 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔, 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔… 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕—𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖!

We’ll sip on cold brew or tea, spend the afternoon admiring everyone’s creations, sharing our favorites, getting to know one another, and dreaming about the next ladies’ event.

Bring 10.
Leave with 10+.
Come make some friends along the way!
