  • Bible Study & Outreach, Vol. 66, No. 6, June 2026

    Bible Study    

    Wednesday night Bible studies are over until September. As always, there are Bible studies for all ages on Sunday mornings at 9:15am.  One of our many greeters can help you find a group to join or so can Gloria.  Some studies are topical, some are video driven and many are expositional.  While personal scripture reading is essential for us all, getting together with a small group can help you to connect with others and lead to life transformation.  Try one and find out.

    Outreach

    Have you given a card to someone recently to invite them to church?  Have you had a gospel conversation with someone recently?  In the foyer and

    welcome center are business cards that make inviting or sharing with others easy.  The QR code on the card will provide information on the church and

    service times.  Since our mission is to connect people to the unifying and life-transforming power of the gospel, these little cards that easily fit into your purse or wallet are an effective tool to easily help you do just that.  Pick some up and be intentional about helping people to connect to the gospel!

    A Personal Note From Gloria

    God truly saved the best for last for me.  On June 30, I will retire for the third time.  I spent 25 years in public education, 10 more providing tutoring for children through the MO Baptist Children’s Home and Achievia Tutoring and over 10 serving on the staff at Fee Fee.  As I said, God saved the best for last.  I have enjoyed serving as Senior Adult Director, Bible Study Director, Women’s Ministry and Outreach.  It has been a joy to lead and serve with all of you at Fee Fee Baptist Church.  Thanks for all of your friendships and love you have shown to me through the years as I have been a member here for over 50 years!

    Oh yeah, and I’m not going anywhere – just folding into the flock with you!

    Gloria

     

  • Senior Adults, Vol. 66, No. 6, June 2026

    I’m so glad to be serving with our senior adult group. If you are 55+ (or feel 55+) come along and join us for our activities. If you are already part of this great fellowship, bring a friend to our activities.

    I’m sorry to say that our planned June 9 Katy Trail Tram trip has been cancelled. It was sold out even before we could get a call in for reservation. So we will try again later (probably will be September).

    Upcoming events:

                      June 19 – Grant’s Farm – leave 10am (lunch there)

    July 1 – dinner on the Hill, leave 4pm; Mo Botanical Gardens Concert of the US Air Force Band of Mid-America 7 pm (free to get in at 5:30). Take lawn chair and drinks if you want.

    Look for more info on these outings and signup in the café.

    I always look forward to VBS for our seniors. This year a friend of mine, Ron Zamkus, will lead a study of 1 John, ‘Authentic Fruitful Faith,’ August 10-13 from 9:30am -12 each day. It will be a great week to dive deep into God’s Word.

    Psalm 119:15-16 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your Word.

     

  • A Word From Senior Pastor, Britton Carter, Vol. 66, No. 6, June 2026

    Reflecting on Year 2

    June 9th marks the two-year anniversary of my time as Senior Pastor at Fee Fee. I find it hard to believe that Kenzie and I have already been here for two years, as it seems like yesterday we moved from Texas to join this wonderful church. In light of this anniversary, I want to take this opportunity to highlight again two areas of growth I have pushed for over the past two years and to encourage us to keep moving forward.

    Relentlessly Focusing on the Gospel

    Why do we exist as a church? Why do we gather on Sunday mornings? What hope do we have in this life and the next? As a church, the form of what we do (programs, events, weekly services) can sometimes steal our focus away from the reason behind everything we do—the gospel. We exist as a church because God, in his grace, has decided to save us through Jesus and bring us together into one body. We gather on Sunday mornings to celebrate what God has done, to remind each other of the power of the gospel, and to challenge each other to grow in the image of Jesus. Our hope—our only hope—is in the life, death, resurrection, present reign, and future return of Christ. As a church, my goal has been to relentlessly turn our focus to the gospel.

    Passionately Promoting Evangelism

    Just as the gospel is our only hope in this life and the next, the gospel is the only hope for the people outside our church. Our community needs Jesus. Lost people around the world need Jesus. And as people who have experienced the truth of the gospel, we need to share that truth with the world. I will continue to encourage each of us to grow in gospel proclamation.

    We have plenty of room to grow; no church, no matter how healthy, can every say they have “arrived.” In our case, over twenty years of plateau and decline has left us with a lot of room to grow numerically and spiritually. But I’m thankful for all the Lord has done over the past two years—and the two centuries before that—and I’m looking forward to all God is going to do in the years ahead!

    In Christ,

    Pastor Britton

  • Y.A. Collective, Vol. 66, No. 5, May 2026

    Discipleship is not a solo pilgrimage; it is a shared journey where grace becomes visible in the lives of others. The modern instinct is to privatize faith, to curate a quiet spirituality that asks little and risks less. But Jesus did not form isolated individuals; he gathered a people. He called disciples into proximity—with himself, yes, but also with one another. In that proximity, friction and fellowship became the forge of transformation.

    This is why something as simple—and as ordinary—as showing up to young adult Bible study matters more than we think. It’s not just a meeting; it’s a means of grace. Around open Bibles and honest conversations, discipleship becomes tangible. You’re not just learning truth; you’re watching it take root in real lives.

    Community exposes what isolation conceals. Our impatience, pride, and insecurity surface in relationships, and that’s where the Spirit does his patient work. We learn forgiveness by being wronged, humility by being known, and love by staying when it would be easier to leave.

    There is no shortcut. Real growth requires presence—week after week, face to face. In that rhythm, God forms not just informed believers, but a people shaped together in Christ.

     

  • Fee Fee Youth, Vol. 66, No. 5, May 2026

    Fee Fee Youth                                        Jonathan Ajdukovich,  NextGen Pastor

    These first few weeks among you have been such a gift. I truly thank the Lord for the way He has welcomed me into this body, and for the kindness, encouragement, and love you have so freely shown. It has been a joy to begin getting to know you, and I am deeply grateful for how well I have been received.

    My prayer for us as a church is simple but foundational; that each day we would remember and rejoice in our first love, the Lord Jesus Christ. As we are exhorted in Scripture, may we never drift from Him, but instead be continually captivated by His grace and goodness. And as our lives are shaped by that love, may those around us be drawn to know and follow our King, Jesus.

    As I continue settling in, I would truly love the opportunity to get to know each of you better. Please don’t hesitate to come say hello on a Sunday morning, invite me to grab coffee or a meal, or even welcome me into your home or family activities. It would be my joy to spend that time together.

    Regarding our Youth Ministry, we will continue meeting on Wednesday nights through May 13. After that, we will take a short break for the remainder of May and June. More details will be shared soon as we look ahead to camp and our schedule from July through December.

     

  • Family Front, Vol. 66, No. 5, May 2026

    Here are our May Events:

    May 10 Mother’s Day, we’ll celebrate all women 18 and up with a special gift of recognition. This will also be our parent-child dedication Sunday. We will also honor our graduates and remember those who’ve gone to be with Jesus this past year. Come join us as we celebrate these members of our church family.

    May 15th Outdoor Movie Night in the Courtyard. We will be playing David from Angel Studios. Popcorn & Lemonade will be provided! Bring other snacks & lawn chairs/blankets for an enjoyable evening under the stars.

    After May is June and after June is July… and July means VBS!  Mark your calendars now!

    This year VBS will be held Monday-Thursday, July 13-16, 9am-12pm with the option to add afternoon jiu-jitsu camp from 1-4pm. We will conclude the programming with a fun family evening Thursday, July 16, 6-8pm. There will be food trucks, games, fellowship, and a chance for the kids to display some of what they learned during the week.

    This event is huge. It has so many moving parts. It can make such an awesome impact on kids’ lives. But in order for it to succeed we need all hands on deck. Please pray about where you might be able to serve. Additionally, please plan to attend Thursday evening’s event to meet with families from our community and enjoy a time of fellowship and celebration over a fun and full week!

    In conclusion, church family, please pray for our kids’ programs. We are growing and while that is absolutely fabulous it also means that we need to be oh so intentional about pointing each and every one of these children and their families towards a faith in King Jesus. Pray that the Holy Spirit works as only He can and that hearts turn from the world and toward the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • Bible Study & Outreach, Vol. 66, No. 5, May 2026

    Bible Study                          

    Our Wednesday night activities are winding down for the year but there are still opportunities already in place each Sunday morning at 9:15 for small group Bible study.  This is a great place to get connected and establish deep relationships with others.  If you’re looking for your people, ask Gloria and she will make suggestions.

    Outreach

    We don’t have any big events coming up in the month of May but we have bought and will be permanently hanging Edison lights in the courtyard.  We had these up temporarily last fall but they are soon to become a permanent fixture making the courtyard a great place for gathering.

    We still have lots of business cards to be disbursed in our community.  These are a great way to start a gospel conversation or to invite someone to church.  Pick some cards up and tell someone about Jesus and invite them to church.  There’s the promise of a free cup of coffee on the front and a QR code on the back that gives them info on the church.
