    Backpack Ministry Thanks

    Thank you to everyone that gave to our Backpack Ministry this year! During this school year we were able to provide around 450 backpacks full of food to kids in the Pattonville School District. Thank you so much for your commitment to support this ministry. During the summer, when there is no school, we take a break from this ministry. But be ready for it to kick back off in the fall!

    Upcoming Mobile Markets

    Due to the Memorial Day holiday, there will NOT be a Mobile Market on Monday, May 31. The upcoming Mobile Markets will be June 14 and 28. If you are in need of food the week of Memorial Day, St. Louis Area Foodbank does offer many other Mobile Markets each week in other locations. You can visit their website (stlfoodbank.org) to find them.

    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?

    Lottie Moon Giving

    We set a goal this year of $25,000 for our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. We weren’t sure how this would go, being in the middle of a pandemic. You all continued to show that you care about taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth because you have so far given over $26,000! Thank you for your faithfulness to support missionaries all over the world!

    Upcoming Mobile Markets

    Our Mobile Markets with St. Louis Area Foodbank have returned in 2021! Anyone in our community who is struggling with getting groceries is welcome to come to the church to have contactless groceries put in their car for FREE every other Monday from 10:00 a.m. until noon, (or whenever we run out of food). Our upcoming dates are January 25, February 8 and 22.

    Online Schedule

    We have started a new online schedule during the week. We will still have our Live Prayer nights on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. on Facebook. We have also added some new things during the Grounded series to engage people in different ways. On Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. we will be posting Grounded videos to YouTube and linked to our other social media sites which will be interviews, devotional thoughts, or Biblical insights. Then on Thursdays we are going to be hosting a unique virtual small group opportunity with our Sermon Rewind. We will replay our Sunday sermon to Facebook at 7:00 p.m. for us to watch together and the online pastor will have discussion questions in the chat throughout, reflecting on what Pastor Zach is talking about. Then at the end of the message there will be a link in the chat to a Zoom meeting where we can dive deeper into God’s Word together and talk about the discussion questions. Join us on Facebook live every Thursday and then follow us to our Zoom small group to experience this time of coming together around God’s Word.

    We hope these unique online opportunities will allow us to build our lives on Jesus in new ways!

    Thank You

    In December we provided lunch for an ICU floor at DePaul hospital and received this note afterwards:

    Fee Fee Baptist Church,

    Thank you again for thinking of the SSM Health DePaul Hospital physicians, nurses, and caregivers with your generous donation of Chick-Fil-A. Our care team was so surprised and excited to receive the meals and really enjoyed them. Thank you for your support as we continue to serve our community with a grateful heart.

    Be Blessed,

    Ellis Hawkins (President), DePaul administration, physicians, nurses, and caregivers

    Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

    We have a big goal for our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering: $25,000. Why did we set such a high goal? Because we believe in the utmost importance of declaring the Gospel through all the earth and want to support the missionaries who are doing this work. All the money raised for Lottie Moon goes to support missionaries all over the world. Have you given yet? You can give in person on Sunday morning, online through the church website, or mail in your check.
