    Blood Drive, October 1-2

    On Thursday and Friday, October 1-2 from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. we will be hosting another blood drive. In order to comply with social distancing restrictions, all donations MUST be scheduled ahead of time. You can go to the Red Cross website (www.redcrossblood.org) and use the Sponsor Code “FeeFeeBaptistBridgeton” or search by zip code and date to find our drive. Then schedule your donation for a specific time one of those days. You can also call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to schedule your donation. The drive will be held in the Family Life Center. Everyone donating can drive around to the back of the church and park in the lot by the gym and enter through the gym doors. On the blood drive page on the church website you can find some helpful info about donating, including who can donate and how to donate. If you have any questions about any of this please contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org).

     Church Workday, October 3

    Join us on Saturday, October 3 from 8:00 a.m. until noon to help us beautify our campus! Normally each spring we have a church workday however this year it got pushed back to the fall. We will be pulling weeds, laying out mulch, and general yard work, so bring a good set of work gloves. Unfortunately, we’re not offering coffee and donuts this year, but we will have a good time and make our campus beautiful!

    Mobile Markets Through December

    St. Louis Area Foodbank has realized that the food struggles, unfortunately, are not going away anytime soon.  In light of that they have scheduled Mobile Markets through the end of the year. Our upcoming Mobile Markets are the following dates (Mondays):

    October November December
    5 2 8
    19 16  14
    30

    We will distribute food from 10:00 a.m. until noon (or whenever we run out of food). Anyone is welcome to come and receive the free groceries in a contactless, drive-thru format. If you are interested in serving at a Mobile Market and you have never done so before, please contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org) to get on the schedule.

    Mobile Market Volunteers Needed

    Our Mobile Markets have been such a blessing to our community these past few months. Many of our volunteers at these events have been students and teachers who are no longer available with school starting. So we are looking for more volunteers to help! If you’d be willing to help us “pursue the good of our community” on Monday mornings this fall at our Mobile Markets, please contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org). Our next Mobile Market will be on Monday, September 21 at 10:00 a.m. There will not be one on September 7 due to Labor Day.

    Dominican Republic Water Project

    Just like everything here in the U.S., everything in the Dominican Republic shut down or slowed down due to COVID-19 concerns, including our water project. However, this week I received pictures of the main structure being built! Work has resumed! Pastor Andres is so excited. We still need to raise some funds for some of the equipment that will go inside. If you feel called to give to finish this project, you can give online under the “Dominican Water Project” funds. Thank you for supporting this life changing ministry!

     

    Thank You

    Thank you for making an Impact!

    Thank you to everyone that participated in making an impact in our community during Impact Week! You were definitely a blessing.  We were able to provide needed improvements to a neighbor’s house. We packaged food at St. Louis Area Foodbank that will bless hundreds of people in the area. We wrote cards to encourage people. We did yard work at a local homeless shelter. We provided groceries for a neighbor. We prepared dinner for a homeless shelter. Thank you for being willing to sacrifice to share the message of God’s love with those around us!

    How are you going to make an Impact?

    Signups have started for Impact Week! You can go to feefeebc.org/impactweek to see the full calendar of events and find the link to sign up to serve that week. If you have any trouble signing up, please contact Andrew and he’d be glad to sign you up. If you do not see something that works with your calendar then I would challenge you to think creatively about how you can make an impact in your community. You could buy some groceries for a family in need. Write cards to people who need some recognition like postal workers, school staff, emergency responders, hospital staff, or grocery store workers. You could do some yard work for a neighbor or pick up trash at a local park. There are lots of different possibilities that you can make an impact that week. Our goal is to have everyone in the church involved in serving in some way that week. If you have any questions contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org). Take a photo documenting your impact this week and send it to Andrew letting him know that you served!
