We have 2 events this month.  On Wednesday, September 6, we will head to Sikeston, MO for a stop at the Sikeston Depot lunch after at Lambert’s Café.  Get ready to catch a throwed roll!  The bus will leave at 9 a.m.  (Note that this time is earlier than usual). This is a permanent historical exhibit that combines history, art, and special exhibits. The museum is free but donations are accepted.  Lambert’s café is an unique experience if you have never eaten there.  They throw you a homemade roll, you order off the menu and there are lots of pass arounds including fried okra and fried potatoes.  Expect to get filled up.  The bus ride is $5 and you will buy your own lunch!

On Monday, September 25, we will go to the Missouri Botanical Gardens to view the Chihuly exhibit.  There are thousands of pieces of blown glass forms in 20 dramatic installations throughout the garden’s grounds.  Because we are going during the day, admission is included in garden admission. Garden admission is $6 if you are a STL county resident. Lunch will be at Joey B’s.  To see all of the Chihuly glass is a long walk  but you can choose to see as little or as much as you want.  The bus will leave at 10 a.m.

September also includes Impact Week.  I hope that you will participate in some of that week’s projects and attend the celebration at Redemption ranch on Sunday, September 24.  It is always a good time with great worship, good food and great fellowship with the entire church family.  There will not be services at the Fee Fee building on that day.

Loaves and Fishes

We need to start the sign-up cycle for this ministry again.  If your small group, Bible study class, or any other group would like to provide a meal, please let Gloria know.  We provide a meal for the residents each 3rd Tuesday of the month.  This meal should feed approximately 29 residents which includes children and families. Thanks in advance for your help!
