    End of the Year Encouragement

    The end of the school year is upon us, and that means summer is right around the corner! While that may sound exciting, and maybe that will give you the extra boost you need to make it to the end of the year, sometimes this last month of school seems to just drag on and never end. While we have lots of things to look forward to like prom, end of year parties, sports, and graduation, there also is the fear and worry that comes from finals, EOC’s, projects, and presentations. The clock is ticking…how are you going to face it? When I was a student, one verse I would often turn to was Romans 5:3-4. There is glory in hard times, and that produces perseverance, which produces character, which produces hope! Students, you are so close to the finish line…keep digging! Parents, remember to check in on your students this month. You may get the standard “I’m okay” response when you check in on them, but just know that your intentionality means the world, even if your student is too cool to tell you now (trust me they will when they are older). Church, pray for our students! This is a huge time for them, and they need your support. It takes a village, and Fee Fee is faithful! Let’s finish the race well!

     

  • Prime Time Vol. 63, No. 5

    Wow.  I can’t believe it is already May.  May has lots of adventures for the Prime Timers.  First and foremost is the Banquet on Saturday night, May 13, at 6 p.m.  Just like the restaurants, we have had to raise our price a little to cover the expenses, but it is still a very good deal for good food, good fellowship, and great entertainment.

    The cost this year is $15/person and includes salad, main course, and dessert.  Our entertainment will include 50’s and 60’s songs and Ronna assures me that we won’t be disappointed.  There will also be a brief devotional and an opportunity for photos.  The sign-up sheet are in the Connection Center, and you must sign up by Sunday, May 7 so we can order the food!

    The second event is a 2-nights/3-day trip to the Creation Museum and Noah’s Ark in Kentucky.  I have not booked a hotel, but rooms range between $130-$150.  Since we will be there 2 nights, your room would be a maximum of $150 for 2 nights if you have a roommate to share the cost.  If you want your own room, your hotel for 2 nights would be a maximum of $300.

    We will get a combo ticket for the Ark and Creation Museum and that cost is $84.95 but if we have enough people, that might be discounted.  Your transportation cost is $40/person.

    So, if you have a roommate, your maximum cost will be about $275.  If you want your own room, the cost is $425.  Breakfast is included at all the hotels I am looking at so that is 2 less meals to buy.

    We will leave at 8 am on Wednesday, May 24 and be home by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 26.  You will need to turn in a $100 deposit by Sunday, May 7 but you need to sign up by April 30 so I can get our reservations.  Hope you will plan to join me to have Genesis come to life.

    Summer Concert Series —-  SAVE THE DATES!

    June 18  — Timothy and Hosanna Noble — Timothy Noble has been a mainstay in our concert series almost since the  beginning. Timothy is a pianist and Hosanna plays violin. They make an awesome duo.  If you have heard them in previous years you will agree.

    July 9 —- Dr. Kristine Harris and Dr. Jerry Westenkuehler — Kristine Harris played in our concert series a few years ago.  She is an extraordinary trumpet player of international fame. Kristine will be joined by Jerry Westenkuehler.  Jerry is a noted organist who holds a Doctorate in Organ Performance.  He is also a well recognized composer of organ and handbell music.

    July 18 — The Harris Trio — John and Lee Harris along with their friend Kathy have been singing together since they were teenagers. You will love the tightly blended harmonies of this trio.

    July 23 — Doug Mickan — Doug is a comic ventriloquist.  His program is appreciated by audiences of all ages. Don’t miss seeing Doug and his friends!  They were a part of are concert series last year and were extremely well received.

    July 30 — The Lesters — The Lester family has been serving God through Gospel music since 1925 when the group was formed by their great grandparents.  They have continued this ministry with various members of their family and with younger singers being added from time to time – this family will keep on keeping on! We are so glad they come back each year to participate in our concert series!

    These concerts are on Sunday evenings beginning at 6:00 p.m. and we always have a time of fellowship following each concert where we gather and enjoy ice cream treats. There is no charge for these concerts, but attendees are given the opportunity to contribute to the ministries of each group. Invite you friends and neighbors for a delightful evening of entertainment and music.

     

  • Family Front Vol. 63, No. 5

    We are having some exciting days in our Children’s Ministry seeing many children excepting Jesus as Savior and following Him in baptism. If you would like to serve, there is always a place for people who love Jesus and love children.  Contact me for more information if you would like to serve.

    Our Awana year is almost at an end.  On May 10, we will be having  a parent/kid glow game night at 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m..  On Wednesday night, May 17, at 6 p.m. we will be having our Awana Awards Night and see what our kids have been up to all year. There is supper offered at 5 p.m. before. The signups are in the Connection Center.

    SAVE THE DATES: VBS and Sports camp is July 17-21, 2023. STELLAR VBS is 9am-noon and Basketball Camp is from 1-4pm. Mark your calendar! Information and registration forms will be on our website feefeebc.org/freevbs.

    There is something for everyone to do so if you are interested in serving that week, contact me. If you have crafty hands, workdays are scheduled on the first 3 Saturdays in May.

    A few things we are collecting for VBS to help with decor: empty Cheese Ball and animal cracker/pretzel containers you find at Sams’s Club or Costco; 2-liter soda bottles – empty – prefer the green, but we can use clear as well. Thanks for your donations of time and stuff!

    For the sports camp I may need host homes to house the college students leading the basketball camp. We will also need meals for these Sport Crusaders for the week. Contact me if you could open your home to a student or 2. If your Sunday School class could help with gift cards or money to help the students with meals, contact me.

    Thank you for your support!

     

  • Heart of Worship Vol. 63, No. 5

    Let’s talk about humility. One of the ways we can worship our King is through a heart of humility towards Him and others.

    What does it mean to be humble? Humility comes from throwing away any sense of pride and instead embracing a heart of service and gratitude. It’s realizing without God, we are nothing. (John 15:4-5) It’s recognizing that God knows better than we do, and embracing His ways over our own. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

    Let’s explore a few verses in the Bible that speak about humility:

    1 Peter 5:5-6 says, “…all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.”

    In Ephesians 4, Paul urges us to, “live worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

    Lastly, Proverbs 16:5 says, “Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord.”

    The Bible is clear: God is looking for us to be humble in heart. He is right there, ready to give us grace when we submit ourselves to Him. He even encourages us to give all our worries and anxiety over to Him, because He deeply loves us.

    If you’re ready to recommit to the Lord with a heart of humility, go ahead and pray this prayer with me:

    Heavenly Father, as an act of worship, I submit myself to you with a humble heart. Please forgive me for thinking my ways are better than Yours. I choose today to cast all my cares on You, as your Word says, because You tenderly love me. I recommit myself to seeking Your face and listening to your Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me in all truth.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

     

     

  • Announcements Vol. 63, No. 5

    Kibret Misgna, Abby Eberts, Eliana Easter, Brayden Muckerman,

    And Christian Muckerman

    International Food Pantry
