Sunday Night Connection

The Connection scheduled for January 14 will be rescheduled for March. Keep your games out!

Sunday Morning Door Access Policy

With the change in our Sunday morning schedule, we will not have members of the First Impressions Team at the doors to the Sanctuary off the main parking lot until 10:00 a.m. Those doors will remain locked until that time. We are encouraging people to enter through the Welcome Center doors or the Handicapped door off the East Parking area (by MBCH). This will enable us to maintain the security of our Sanctuary entrance and direct guests through the Welcome Center where they can be greeted and directed to Sunday School classes.

Alaska Mission Trip Fundraiser

Join us on Tuesday, February 6 and have some lunch or dinner at the Bandana’s on Dorsett. Bring your Fee Fee flyer from the Connection Center and 15% of the day’s proceeds will go to the Alaska Mission trip in June. See you there!

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 and Virtual Learning Days.

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.

Help Needed for Our Ministry with “Loaves and Fishes”

For several years, Fee Fee Baptist Church has provided a meal for the residents of the Loaves and Fishes emergency shelter on the third Tuesday of the month. We need Bible Study classes, T-groups, families or others to volunteer to provide and deliver those meals. Loaves and Fishes is a wonderful ministry that provides emergency shelter for homeless individuals and families (in addition to a food pantry, utility services and street outreach programs).

There are sign-up sheets in the Connection Center where you can specify which month you (or your group) will provide the meal (for about 30 people). Please contact Gloria Fox for more information.

“Thank You”

The Church has received a thank you card from the Pattonville Early Childhood Program

“Thank you so much for continuing to provide food for our Weekend Food Backpack Program and also for adopting families for the Angel Tree Program for Christmas! We truly appreciate you all!”

We will eat lunch and then meet briefly in our new committees to get to know each other, choose officers, and schedule first meetings.

Childcare will be available after the lunch while committees meet. Please plan to join us to kick off the new year of church business! (If you aren’t there you could get elected to an office – HA HA.)

Redemption Ranch Celebration

Our church has had so much fun with our yearly trip to Redemption Ranch in Winfield, MO that we are heading back! On Sunday, September 24th we will celebrate with

worship, lunch, and fun activities the whole family will enjoy!

Worship will start at 11 AM on the amphitheater stage, so don’t be late! There will be no Sunday morning activities in the Fee Fee building that day.  We will have 28 spots on the church shuttles if a ride is needed, and sign-ups are in the connection center.  Seats are available on a first come first served basis.

The church will provide the meat for lunch, but we are asking every family to bring a side dish (last name beginning with A-L), or dessert (last name beginning M-Z).  Please sign up in the connection center so we can accurately plan for those who will be attending.   There are no chairs in the amphitheater area, so bring a lawn chair or

blanket to sit on for the worship service. Be prepared for the weather that day and bring hats or umbrellas if needed. Lunch will be under a pavilion with table and chairs

available. After lunch there will be swimming, games, and lots of fun fellowship time to enjoy this beautiful place!  More information can be found at feefeebc.org/theranch

or on our Fee Fee App.  We hope you’ll join us!

School Supplies and Free Market

It is time to start collecting school supplies for our community backpack giveaway at the Free Market on Saturday, August 5.  Last year we collected enough supplies and backpacks to provide 116 for our community.  This really blesses the children in our area when they have a brand new backpack and the supplies they need to start school.

We need crayons, pencils, ink pens, markers, highlighters, wide-ruled notebook paper, spiral notebooks, composition books, pencil sharpeners, pencil cases, Kleenex, pocket folders, 3 ring binders, school glue, glue sticks, sharpies, erasures, and post it notes.  We also need some cute backpacks for the younger kids.  We have had a donation of 50 plain black backpacks that the older kids prefer.

Don’t forget, also, to start gathering your items to give away at the free market.  In the past, we have given away everything from baby items, furniture, toys, books, clothing and anything else in really good shape that you are willing to part with.  This is not a garage sale.  Everything is free.

If you have not participated before, you will find this to be a day that you will receive more of a blessing than those you give items to. Mark your calendar for August 5 at 9 am and bring your trunk full of items to share.

Note from the History Committee

The church History Committee is documenting how the COVID pandemic affected the church – both the institution and the members. Five years from now memories will have grown dim and 25 years from now few if any will remember how Fee Fee dealt  with the life altering pandemic.  If you would like to share how the pandemic affected your life, write it up and send a copy to the church office. If you have questions, feel free to contact committee chairman Larry Land.
