    Church Workday

    It’s that time of year again when flowers begin to peek out of the dirt after their long sleep, trees sway in the wind waking up their roots, and the grays and browns of winter turn into little green beginnings of leaves or buds of color. The amazing gift of creation of nature is not only for us to enjoy but to offer a pretty setting for the church experience of others.

    If you would like to get your hands in a little dirt to plant some flowers, do some digging, or other tasks needed, please join us on Saturday, April 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the church courtyard. Bring your garden gloves, your favorite garden tools (shovels and rakes could be handy), and we’ll have donuts to start our time together. Water will be provided, too.

     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

    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.
