  • Prime Time – Vol. 62, No. 9

    I just got back from a lovely luncheon at the Oakland House. What a beautiful day to visit a beautiful old house in the Affton area. It seems like time is starting to pass quickly now that spring is here and Easter is over. But we have a lot of places to go this spring and early summer. I hope you will consider joining us for these trips.

    Don’t forget to sign up for Warm Springs Ranch trip on Monday, May 9. The bus leaves at 9:30 a.m. We will eat lunch and then go to visit the Clydesdales. And I think there will be some young ponies there as well! The cost of the tour is $16.00 and transportation is $5.00. You will also have to buy your lunch and might want to bring a snack for the bus. We will not be back until 6:00 p.m., at the earliest.

    All are invited to attend the Legacy Banquet on Saturday, May 14 at 6:00 p.m. and don’t forget to invite some friends in the church who do not normally attend our activities. Guests are also welcome. The Banquet will be held in the Dining Room, and the cost for this great evening is only $12.00; you will pay at the door. Signups end on May 8, so we can get the proper amount of food. If your name is on the list on May 8, you will be expected to pay even if you can’t attend because we will already have ordered food. Dress is casual.

    Our June activities are the Heritage Museum in St. Charles on Thursday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. Lunch will be at Lewis and Clark’s. And you are invited to celebrate my birthday with me on Friday, June 24, at Josephine’s Tea Room in Godfrey, Ill. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events and don’t forget to sign up! See you in church Sunday!

  • Prime Time – Vol. 62, No. 8

    Thanks to all who contributed toys and candy, dyed eggs, and assembled Easter baskets for the children of Loaves and Fishes. They were beautiful and each contained a small New Testament and a chocolate cross. Those who helped want to make this an annual event. What a sweet way to bless the children in our community.

    Don’t forget to get bring a check for $22/person for Oakland House. The bus will leave the church at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26. We will tour the house at 11:00 a.m. and eat lunch at noon. The Oakland House is amazing and I’m sure it will be a great day.

    We have two really great events coming up in May. On Monday, May 9 we will go to see the Clydesdales at Warm Springs Ranch with lunch TBA. The cost of the tour is $16 plus you will need money for your lunch and $3 for the bus. This is an all-day trip and we will be leaving at 9:00 a.m.

    I’m hoping you are planning to come to the Legacy Banquet on Saturday, May 14 at 6:00 p.m. The cost is $12 per person. Our guest speaker will be our own Dr. Lowell Donnelley. The entertainment will be amazing!  I have heard that we will be having guest appearances from Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, and several other big names from the 50s, 60s and 70s. You are invited to join us for this fun evening whether you consider yourself a Prime Timer or not. I would love to see some multigenerational fellowship around our tables. Would you come if I promised you a Freddy’s ice cream sandwich for dessert? I know that would get me moving! Hope to see you all there!

    Hope you all enjoyed celebrating Resurrection Sunday. See you at our Family Connection Sunday on April 24 as we hear some encouraging words from Dr. Richard Ross.

  • Prime Time – Vol. 62, No. 7

    Easter is right around the corner. When is the last time you dyed Easter eggs? Well, do I have an opportunity for you! On Tuesday, April 12, we will have lunch and then dye eggs and make 20 Easter Baskets for the children at Loaves and Fishes. We need your help to not only put them together but also to provide items to put in them. Easter candy, stuffed animals, small toys like Matchbox cars, Lego people, dolls, bubbles, small story books about Jesus or a small Bible – well, you get the idea!  Let’s bless some kids who are in a place in life where they might feel a little hopeless. Let’s share the hope with them!

    On Tuesday, April 26 we will go to Oakland House in Afton for a house tour and luncheon. The cost is $22. I do not have a departure time yet but will let you know. We must secure our reservations first. We also must pay at the time of making reservations. If you sign up, you will be paid for, but you must bring cash or a check to Fee Fee with you that day. In other words, if you sign up and have not cancelled by 4/15, you must pay whether you go or not, because the church will have already paid for you.

    I hope you are preparing your heart for Easter. Invite your family and neighbors if they do not have a church that they attend. Pastor Zach will have a clear Gospel message and maybe, just maybe, God is counting on you to bring that person to church that day to hear the very good news!

  • Prime Time – Vol. 62, No. 5

    What a difference a week can make in St. Louis weather! Today is a beautiful 72 degrees, and last week we were awaiting freezing rain, sleet, and snow. While we can’t count on the weather, we can count on our faithful God. While our world seems out of control, God is sovereign and in control. Thank Him for your blessings today and trust Him completely in the days to come.  He is loving and kind and good!

    Our next trip is to the St. Louis Science Center to the OmniMax to see Wings over Water on Friday, March 11. Tickets are $11, but we will probably get a group discount or senior discount. We will leave church at 10:00 a.m. and go to the 11:00 a.m. movie. Afterwards we will go to the Fountain on Locust. Make sure to save room for ice cream!

    The Scott Joplin House tour will be on Monday, March 28, leaving the church at 10:00 a.m. This is a state historic site which features a player piano in the modest flat rented by the king of ragtime and a museum about Scott Joplin’s life. Cost of the tour and museum is $6. Lunch will be at Crown Candy. I challenge you to a BLT!

    Also mark your calendars for Saturday night, May 14 for our Annual Legacy Banquet. We will have great food, great fellowship, and great music!
