Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions
There are an estimated 281 million lost people in the United States, Canada and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa. The North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has more than 2,400 missionaries who work to advance the Gospel in these areas.
The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is the primary way Southern Baptists fund these mission efforts. The offering is named for Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and the Women’s Missionary Union’s first national executive leader. One hundred percent of gifts to this offering is used to train and resource missionaries in church planting, compassion ministries and creating evangelism resources.
We will be receiving this offering every Sunday through Easter, but there will be a special “in-gathering” on Sunday, April 2. This is an opportunity to display a unified commitment to this offering. Our goal is $16,000.
Sunday Night Connection
Since our normal Sunday night is Easter, we are moving the date to the Sunday night after Easter, April 16 at 5 pm. We will be having an Easter Egg hunt for the kids and firepits and hot dogs. Invite your friends and neighbors to this fun night of fellowship. Don’t forget your lawn chair!
Mobile Market
Fee Fee Baptist Church continues to partner with the St. Louis Area Foodbank to provide Mobile Markets on the second Monday of the month.
Upcoming dates are:
- April 10
- May 8
- June 12
Anyone is welcome to come get groceries on these dates at 10:00 a.m. (until the food runs out).
If you would like to volunteer for this ministry, talk to Kathy Webber and she will make sure you have a spot to serve!
Help Needed for International Food Pantry
Fee Fee Baptist Church joins with other churches to provide a food pantry for people from other countries who live in the St. Louis area. This primarily reaches people in the local Bosnian community, but people from other ethnic groups are welcome to participate.
We need you to help with this effort either through volunteering or by providing funds and/or food items for the pantry. There is a collection bin in the Connection Center for food items. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the church office.
Remember Easter is on Sunday, April 9th, we will be having a Easter service at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. There will be a breakfast between the services. Also don’t forget the Easter egg hunt is on Sunday, April 16th at 5:00 p.m. Invite your family and friends
