    Angel Tree

     The Christmas Tree in the Welcome Center is our Angel Tree.  Each ornament has an item to be purchased for someone who needs a little help this year at Christmas.

    Your job is to find an ornament that lists a gift that you would like to provide for a child or adult.  Take the ornament from the tree and hang on to it.  Purchase the item listed.  If it is clothing it will indicate whether it is for a male or female and indicate the needed size.  Toys will indicate the age and whether the toy is for a boy or girl.

    After you have purchased and wrapped the gift, put the ornament with the gift need on the outside of your package, bring it to church and place it under the tree.  The gifts will be delivered to the families before Christmas.

    All gifts should be returned by Sunday, December 14 with the ornament attached to the outside.

    Alaska Mission Trip

    There will be an informational meeting on Sunday, December 21 immediately after church for anyone who might be interested in going to work with Reach 907 in Wasilla, Alaska. We will be doing a VBS for kids who have been through trauma.  The group will leave Friday, May 29 and return the morning of Saturday, June 6 on an overnight flight.  Come by and get the details and an application if you have interest in going.

    Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy

     Fee Fee Baptist Church will cancel services, Bible studies and activities when it is deemed necessary for the safety of church members driving to and from church as well as walking and moving around the church properties itself. The church no longer mirrors Pattonville School District’s cancellation policy as they have changed their procedures in calling for cancellations.

    We will take many criteria into formulating a decision on cancellations.

    On days Fee Fee is not cancelled, but inclement weather is happening, it is the sole discretion of the bus drivers if they feel comfortable picking up church goers. All cancellations will be conveyed through TV stations

    Channels 2, 4, and 5. It will be posted on our website, social media and notifications will be sent out through our church app.
