    Thank you for giving life by giving blood!

    Thank you to everyone that gave blood on July 14! We collected 17 units of blood that can bless up to 51 people. I appreciate your willingness to give to save lives. Our next blood drive will be September 10.

    Impact Week, September 12-19!!

    Our annual Impact Week is coming up soon! This is a week every year where we try and do as much good in our community as possible in one weeks’ time. In the past we have served at a lot of different locations in many ways: doing yardwork for our neighbor, packing food at food pantries, painting a home in our neighborhood, baking cookies for local first responders, providing meals for a homeless shelter, writing letters to soldiers, and a lot more. I hope you are already thinking creatively and praying about how you could “pursue the good of our community” that week!

    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!

    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.

    Week of Prayer for North American Mission, March 29-April 4

    I hope you will pray with us March 29 – April 4 during our Week of Prayer for North American Missions. You can download the prayer guide on the Downloads section of our website. Also, be praying about what you would be willing to give to support those missionaries. On Sunday, April 4 we will take a special offering for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Our goal this year is $13,000. All the money given goes towards North American Missionaries spreading the Gospel all over our continent.

    Easter is Coming!

    I hope that you will worship our risen Savior with us either in person or online on Sunday, April 4! My question for you is who are you going to invite to come and worship with you? The Gospel message will be declared. Who do you know that needs to hear that message? If you are coming in person, invite them to join you. If you’re watching online, invite them to watch online. Either way, there are people in your life, and mine, that need to hear the Gospel message.  Who will you invite?

Then Sunday, April 4 we are taking a special offering for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. All the money given to this offering goes towards North American Missionaries.
