    Sunday Night Connection

    Our next Sunday Night Connection is December 11 at 5:00 p.m. We will meet in the FLC/Gym and will have a Chili Cookoff! Bring a crockpot of your best recipe – mild, medium, or hot! Sign up in the Connection Center to register for the competition! But, if you just want to come and enjoy the night, and just eat a bowl of chili, sign up on a separate signup sheet in the Connection Center so we know how many to expect! We will have crackers, Fritos, hot dogs, and other items to round out the menu. There will be games and firepits on the back parking lot for S’mores, weather permitting. Bring your lawn chair and have a great church multi-generational experience as we connect. Our firepit/cornhole night had an age range from pre-K to senior adults. Put this on your calendar and make connecting with your church a priority!

    Angel Tree

    Did you notice the tree with the handmade ornaments in the Welcome Center? Each ornament represents an individual gift for someone in our church or community who could be blessed by you this Christmas. To participate, take an ornament off the tree, buy the gift listed on it, wrap the gift, attach that ornament tag to the wrapped gift and place your gift under the tree by Sunday, December 18. Gifts will be distributed during the week before Christmas. “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion – how can God’s love be in that person?” (1 John 3:17).

    Christmas Meals

    Again this year we want to provide groceries for Christmas meals for families that may be struggling a bit.  We need your help in recommending potential families.  If you know of a family that may need a Christmas meal this year please submit those names to the church office or Ron Burns (314) 803-2540, by December 11.

    Angel Tree

    Recognizing that some of you might not be able to select an ornament from the Angel Tree this year because you are viewing our services virtually, we wanted to make sure that you still had an opportunity to participate in buying gifts for families this Christmas.

    If you would like to participate, you can email (gloria@feefeebc.org) or call (314) 604-6071, and I will provide you with a gift to buy someone. If you want to participate but don’t feel comfortable going out shopping for the gift, just contact me and I will provide you with a personal shopper to purchase and wrap the gift for you.

    All gifts should be wrapped and the ornament that contained the gift suggestion should be reattached and returned to the church by Sunday, December 20.

    Ministry Need – Christmas Edition

    We are looking for a few people to be personal shoppers for those who would like to purchase a gift(s) for the Angel Tree but don’t want to go out shopping. If you are willing to help with this ministry, please contact Gloria@feefeebc.org or (314) 604-6071.

    Coats for Kids

    If you or someone you know needs a new winter coat, please contact Gloria@feefeebc.org. If you would like to contribute to this ministry, you can give or mail a check to Steve in the church office.

     

  • Prime Time – Vol. 60, No. 23

    I am hoping to see some of you on Sunday, December 6, at 2:00 p.m. on Main Street in St. Charles. We will gather in front of the first capital building which is the current Visitor Center. Main Street will host Santas from all countries, carolers, and all the flavors and smells of Christmas. Hopefully, we can drink some hot chocolate and have a cookie. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather since we will be outside, and don’t forget to wear a mask!

    While it is fun to celebrate Christmas with traditions, it is also a great time to reflect on the real first Christmas. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, just as the prophecy said, and God had to orchestrate a way for Mary and Joseph, from Nazareth, to end up in Bethlehem just as she was about to give birth. God is a planner, so He used a census to require each man to return to his own town.

    It just so happens that Joseph’s hometown of Bethlehem, located about 6 miles from Jerusalem, was where the sacrificial lambs for the Temple in Jerusalem were kept. Each lamb used for sacrifice had to be without spot or blemish. To protect the newborn lambs from injury, they were swaddled in cloths and kept in a cave. Again, it was no accident that there was no room at the inn. Instead, Jesus, like the other sacrificial lambs, was born in a cave and swaddled in cloths.

    It’s no wonder that John the Baptist declared when he saw Jesus, “Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” I hope that during the month of December, you will focus on the real meaning of Christmas and celebrate the lamb of God who took away your sin with His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the grave to be our Savior.

    A big thank you to Mary and the late Jim Zirbas for their generous support of this ministry over the years.

  • Prime Time – Vol. 60, No. 22

    I have spent a lot of time trying to find a Christmas activity for us this year. Outside would be the best, of course.

    On Sunday afternoon, December 6, we will gather at the First Missouri State Capitol State Visitor Center at 230 S. Main Street in St. Charles at 2:00 p.m. We will see the Santas from other countries, listen to carols, drink a hot chocolate and eat a cookie. Hope you will plan to join us.

    The seniors are a generous and loving group of people. I hope, as usual, you will participate and help this year with Coats for Kids and the Angel Tree. Thanks for all you do for the church.

    Coats for Kids

    We will once again be providing coats for kids. If you or someone you know needs a warm coat, or if you would like to contribute money to buy a new coat, you can turn this money in to Steve or Gloria. If you have gently used coats, please save these for the free market in July to give away.

    Angel Tree

    Our annual Angel Tree will be up at Thanksgiving and loaded with ornaments that indicate a specific need. You can take an ornament, purchase that item, wrap it and reattach the ornament, and placed under the tree by December 18.

    If your family or someone you know could use help for Christmas this year, please let Gloria know: gloria@feefeebc.org.
