    Washington D.C. Trip

    Thank you, church, for all your prayers this week while we were in Washington DC! Trips like this are not possible without a church family supporting us from back home. I consider myself blessed every day to get the opportunity to lead these students, and I am even more thankful to be a part of a church that supports local, domestic, and international missions the way Fee Fee does. If you see one of our students or leaders who had the opportunity to go this year, I hope you will stop and ask them about their experience! I also hope that their stories and experiences will encourage and challenge you to serve in your local community. There is a lot of work to be done here in Bridgeton, and God is calling YOU to do it! So don’t hesitate to His calling!

    Youth Family & Friends Cardinals Game

    We still have tickets left for our trip to the Cardinals game coming up on June 29! Tickets are just $10/person, but you will need to provide your own transportation to the stadium. You can purchase tickets on the Microsoft Form that was emailed out at the beginning of the month. If you cannot find that, or need it resent to you, email kyle@feefeebc.org. Invite your friends and family members for this super fun night at the ballpark!

    Pray for our Washington, D.C. Team!

    We will be sending a team of 30 students and adult leaders to Washington, D.C. in just a few short days, and we are so excited! While we are there, we will be serving with a local church doing ministry together and supporting them in many ways. We will be doing projects such as painting, minor construction, homeless ministry, prayer walking, and whatever else God will throw our way while we are there! Here are a few ways you can practically pray for our team:

    • Pray for safe travels to and from Washington, D.C.
    • Pray for the city of Waldorf, MD and Washington, D.C., and their people. Pray that we will be able to bless those we meet.
    • Pray for our students and leaders, that this will be a great bonding experience for them to grow closer together as a team, but also that this will be a fruitful week for their relationship with the Lord.

    I am so blessed to lead these students in a church that so faithfully supports them, and many others, in missions. So, thank you church family!

    2021 Year in Review

    It always brings me joy to reflect on all that happened over the past year. 2021 started a lot like how 2020 ended: pretty bleak, not many answers with Covid, but people trying to stay optimistic. Encouragingly, our students pushed through and showed a resiliency that makes me so proud. Continuing with condensed, weekly Bible Studies (online and in person), slowly but surely, students started coming back. Because of Covid, we had to cancel many of our big events in late 2020 and early 2021, which was tough for our students. Once we were able, we decided to just do everything ALL AT ONE TIME! We threw together all our biggest events we normally do throughout the year and made this a summer to remember. From Summer Blast to our Minneapolis Mission Trip, DNOW, Mini Golf Night, and Chi Alpha Summers…we accomplished so much this summer. Our students were able to recapture a sense of normalcy many of us have been missing out on the last two years. Much of this would not have been possible without our amazing Summer Intern, Sarah Baker, who completed her final summer with us this year, since she will be graduating college this month. Her heart for the Lord and our students is amazing, and it has been a blessing to work alongside her these last three years.

    Looking forward to 2022, my prayer is we don’t forget what we have come from. These last two years have shaped many of us in ways we didn’t know was possible, and our students have learned tough lessons through it all, but I truly believe they have come out of this stronger. I can’t wait to see how God uses our Student Ministry in the coming year and what is in store for our students! We are planning some great things, and I know God will provide! Thank you for supporting our Student Ministry at Fee Fee!

    Youth Paintball

    Our paintball event is coming up on Saturday, November 13. We will be heading to Wacky Warriors in Wentzville for a day of fun! We will leave church at 9:00 a.m. and should return around 2:00 p.m. Cost to play is $20. Students will need to bring extra money for a fast-food lunch afterwards, and if they want to purchase additional paintball rounds on top of what is already covered in the cost. Sign up today in the Rafters!

    No Youth November 24

    We won’t be meeting for youth group on Wednesday, November 24, so you can mentally prepare to eat tons of turkey and pie and enjoy some family time on Thanksgiving Day! Stay home, get some rest, and just enjoy the season of thankfulness.
