    AWANA

    AWANA for our kids is off to a great start. Families were able to help with THRIVE projects during Impact Week. “THRIVE cares about women in our community. Their goal is to have women walking out of the clinic feeling more encouraged and empowered than they did coming in.” If you would like to be part of this group of great AWANA teachers and helpers, talk to Kathy! We need every parent to help us this year by staying the first 10 minutes to work with one child on their memory verses, just listening to them say the verses they are learning each week.  This will help us tremendously in guiding children in learning God’s Word.

    Feed My Starving Children Event

    We have another opportunity to serve as a church at Feed My Starving Children, September 24 at Gateway Christian Church, 9:30-11:45 a.m. (meet there at 9:00 a.m.). Reservations are required. . If you cannot come that day, there are many other 2-hour spots throughout that week. This is a great organization that packs mobile food to send to starving nations. Your efforts in that 2-hour time frame will make a big difference in children’s lives. You can turn hunger into hope with your own hands by packing nutritious meals for hungry children and families around the world. Here is link to help if you are still interested: give.fmsc.org/gateway

    Trunk or Treat

    Put Sunday, October 30 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on your calendar for our annual Trunk or Treat event right here in the church parking lot. Be thinking how you want to decorate your trunk. I’d like everyone to depict a Bible story account with their trunk. We will be collecting candy starting October 1.

    Drama Opportunity for Kids

    This fall we will be producing another kid’s Christmas story video to use in the Christmas production in December. If your child would like to be part of the that, email Kathy: kathy@feefeebc.org.

    Thank you, Church, for your giving and responding to needs! It is a joy to serve with you!

    Serving Opportunities

    Part of being a Christian is serving. Colossians 3:23-24 says, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.” We have needs here for people to plug in and use their gifts to serve. Some of those are in our preschool and children’s areas. Yes, we have a lot of wonderful people that already serve in this area, but it takes many to serve our children and families. Please talk to Kathy if you believe God can use you to serve in our children’s ministry. See Andrew if you would like to serve in other areas. Choose in this new year to actively serve the living God who gave so much for you!

    VBS/Sports Camp Recap

    We had a wonderful week at Wilderness Escape VBS and Sports Crusaders basketball camp. The kids had so much fun and learned about the attributes of God. Thank you, Church, for providing the resources so we can host such great events for our families. We had 5 children give their lives over to Jesus! And we raised $344.00 for our alpaca mission project in Ecuador. I can’t say enough good things about our volunteers who gave their time in so many ways by leading the tribes, helping to set up and take down, doing crafts, teaching, and modeling Jesus. They were awesome!

    Sports Crusaders Basketball Camp, July 26-30, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

    Hey sports fans!! Have you missed out on sports this last year? Well, we have an opportunity for you! We will be hosting our annual basketball camp with the Sports Crusaders the same week as VBS, and we need some help to make this a successful event for our kids. Most of the needs will be helping to take care of our camp coaches and leaders, who are college students, as they work hard leading our kids in the sport. Housing, which includes bed and breakfast, and meal gift cards for other meals are the things we need help with for that week.

    If you or your Bible Study groups can help with any of these things, please contact Kathy (kathy@feefeebc.org) or (314) 739-1525. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

    Please be in prayer for the workers, the children who will attend, and the Sports Crusaders, who will lead the basketball camp.

    Registration for VBS and Sports Camp is available on our website: https://feefeebc.org/free-vbs-fee-fee/. There will be a limit to registration for both VBS and basketball camp, so register early.

    Fee Fee Baptist, you are always so generous with your gifts of supplies and money when a need arises in the Children’s Ministry. THANK YOU for providing those gifts! You are a generous people! We are truly blessed!
