"I love you, I am praying for you, and I’m excited for all that lies ahead. The best is yet to come in Jesus’ name!"

Greetings, FBC Wallingford Family:

Grace and peace to you in the powerful name of Jesus! “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

I carry you in my heart with deep gratitude. “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you… because of your partnership in the gospel” (Philippians 1:3–5). What a joy to walk together in the purposes of God!

Thank You!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your gesture of love and appreciation during Pastor Appreciation Day last month. Your kind words, cards, gifts, prayers, and personal encouragements mean the world to me. I felt your love—and I thank the Lord for a church family that honors and builds up one another. “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Special Gathering — Sunday, November 9th. 

I am so looking forward to meeting with all of you who have come back home or who have joined our church in the past year. We have scheduled a special meeting on Sunday, November 9th, immediately after the service in the Community Room.

- Purpose: to connect, share our stories, and discover our God-given strengths.

- Goal: to discern together where each of us can best serve the Lord at FBC.

- Heart: “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another” (1 Peter 4:10); “from whom the whole body… makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love” (Ephesians 4:16).

It will be a sweet time of fellowship, clarity, and help clarify your next steps. 

Welcome to FBC! Right Hand of Fellowship

If you have not received officially your “Right Hand of Fellowship” yet, we will be offering it every second Sunday of the month. We would be honored to welcome you formally into our church family. “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together” (Hebrews 10:24–25). 

Our Spiritual Atmosphere

The spiritual atmosphere here at FBC is warm and vibrant—a loving family seeking and growing in Jesus together. Week after week I see faith, kindness, and hunger for God’s presence. “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). He is at work among us. 

A Pastor’s Joy and Privilege

What a privilege it is to be your Pastor. I am grateful to the Lord for trusting me with this sacred task. I know He is in everything we do here. “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17). You are a gift to me, and it is my joy to serve you with all my heart.

Let Us Strive for Faithfulness

Church family let us keep pressing forward—together. “Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord… your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

“C’mon—magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:3)! As we pray, serve, and love one another, we will continue to make our beloved church one of the best places to worship the Lord in our area—for His glory and the good of many.

Final Encouragement and Closing

- Do not grow weary . . .“in due season we will reap, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9).

- Keep your eyes on Jesus . . . “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion” (Philippians 1:6).

- Walk in unity and love . . . “Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14).

I love you, I am praying for you, and I’m excited for all that lies ahead. The best is yet to come in Jesus’ name!

In Him and for Him,

Lubin Beaucejour
