    Free Market Donations

    The Free Market is on Saturday, August 7 on the church parking lot. The Free Market is like a Garage Sale, but everything is FREE! There are two ways you can help at the Free Market: 1) giving away your stuff or 2) donating school supplies (or BOTH!).

    First, if you have good (gently used or new) items around your house you would like to give away, you can sign up for a spot in the Connection Center or by contacting Gloria, gloria@feefeebc.org. You cannot just drop off items at church to be given away – you must be present at the Free Market in order to give it away.

    Secondly, we will give away NEW backpacks full of NEW school supplies. You can donate the following: backpacks, #2 Wooden Pencils, 24-Pack Crayons, Colored Pencils, Washable Markers, Dry Erase Markers, Elmer’s Glue Sticks, Ink Pens, Erasers, Fiskar Scissors, Spiral Notebooks (Wide Ruled), Composition Notebooks, Pocket Folders (3-holes), 3-Ring Binders, Clorox Wipes, and Hand Sanitizer.

    Please place all donations in the Donation Center bins across from the Connection Center. The last day to drop off backpacks and school supplies is August 3. These will be given out during Free Market on August 7.

    Upcoming Mobile Market Dates

    Anyone in the community is welcome to drive through our parking lot on the following Mondays from 10:00 a.m. until noon (or whenever we run out of food) to have FREE groceries put in their car!

    All of our Sunday morning Bible Studies at 9:45 a.m. are up and running! While we have many people attending, we still have room for you. Please contact Gloria, gloria@feefeebc.org,  or by calling the church office at 314-739-1525, if you want to get involved and she will find the best fit for you.

    Let’s Collect 200 Backpacks with School Supplies!!!

    I would like to challenge our Bible Study classes to get involved with the Free Market on Saturday, August 7. A group of you could get together some items to give away for the community. Our challenge is to buy 200 backpacks and stuff them with school supplies to hand out that day. Challenge each other in your class to buy some backpacks and fill them with the school supplies (listed elsewhere in the Forerunner).

    Men’s Fraternity

    Men’s Fraternity is the only Wednesday night adult Bible Study meeting this summer is, in room B1 at 6:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for the men of our church to study and encourage each other.
