  • Prime Time – Vol. 61, No. 19

    I’m looking forward to eating fried chicken with you at Pere Marquette on Thursday, September 30! The bus will leave church at 10:00 a.m. We will eat our lunch and then go outside and sit on their patio and play games. Please bring a card game, dominoes, or anything else you would like to play. I’m sure it will be a beautiful fall day! And invite a friend to come with us!

    A deposit of $100 is due on Friday, October 1, for our trip to the Amana Colonies. Please email me at gloria@feefeebc.org to let me know if you will have a roommate, or if you want to have a ticket for the play at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday night. The cost for the play is $32. When I have this information, I will be able to tell you your total cost. If you plan on having a roommate, your cost before food is approximately $150.

    I also want to thank each one of you for your faithful contributions to our backpack ministry and to our dinners at Loaves and Fishes. These ministries are not only help people, but they show the love of Jesus to our community.

  • Bible Study Corner – Vol. 61, No. 12

    Adult Bible Study classes are meeting each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. Every class is meeting in person except for one.  We have classes using traditional Lifeway literature, video driven classes, and even one that discusses the Bible readings we have done each week in Isaiah. If you haven’t already, come join us. Don’t know where to go? Find a staff member or Gloria and they can help you. Hope to see you this Sunday!

    While our regular Wednesday evening classes have wound down for the summer, we still have some daytime options for you! A group led by Linda Bramstedt on Tuesday morning from 10:00 a.m. until noon, and the Facebook live study of Isaiah on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 to 9:30 a.m.

    Loaves and Fishes

    We continue to serve dinner to those at Loaves and Fishes every third Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. If your class or group would like to prepare a meal, please contact Gloria, gloria@feefeebc.org.

    New Year’s Resolutions

    I love getting to set New Year’s Resolutions. They give me some joy in the possibilities of good things to come in the next year. Will I achieve all of my resolutions? No. But will some good things happen because of my attempts towards these resolutions? Absolutely! For example, this past year I set a goal to read two books a month. As of writing this I’m only at 22 books. Just because I didn’t reach my goal of 24 doesn’t mean those 22 books were a waste. I count that as a win!

    So what resolutions are you setting for yourself this year? I have a suggestion: set a resolution that helps you “seek the good of our community for the glory of God.” That’s the last half of our mission statement. What is a resolution you could set for 2021 that involves you doing good for your community that brings glory to God? We have a lot of opportunities that you could volunteer here at church: providing food for Loaves and Fishes once a month, serving as a part of our Mobile Market team, giving more financially towards benevolence, or serving at our International Community Food Pantry. And it doesn’t have to be something organized through the church. Find a ministry or organization that you are passionate about and volunteer for them. We want Fee Fee to be known as a place that cares about our community and that happens when we will get out in our community and love people for God’s glory. So, what is a resolution you can set for 2021 that will “seek the good of our community for the glory of God?”

    Seasons

    Today is another beautiful fall day. Fall truly is my favorite season. The cool breezes, the rustle of leaves as they fall from trees, the beautiful bright fall colors. God is making all this beauty for us to enjoy. Did you wake up this morning thanking Him for His sovereignty in creation and His perfect plan for our salvation?

    Speaking of seasons of life, how are you doing during this unusual season of 2020? Are you still praising and thanking Him for each day? Are you seeing His hands of love seeking you out each day and protecting you? Are you reaching out to others? Are you helping them get through this season with acts of love and prayer?

    Finally, are you praising and thanking Him for the season of life you are in right now or do you long for the days when you were younger, perhaps pain free and able to do whatever you wanted?

    Whatever season we are in – whether it be fall, 2020, or being a senior adult – God still wants us to praise and thank Him in all things and He wants to use us to bring glory to His name. What is He calling you to do today and how will you respond?

    Loaves and Fishes

    We are in need of an individual or group to take and prepare a meal for Loaves and Fishes. Would you be able to meet this need? This ministry happens each month on the third Tuesday. Contact Gloria or Andrew if you are willing to help out!

    Upcoming Events

    We have 2 great service events coming up soon. You can get more details about both events on our website or app. If you have questions you can contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org).

    Impact Week – August 2-8

    Signups will begin very soon for Impact Week! Impact Week is all about pursuing the good of the community around us. We will be serving at local foodbanks, homeless shelters, and homes in our community. We will also be hosting the Free Market on Saturday, August 8. You can read more about how to be a part of that in Gloria’s Prime Time article. We realize there will be some of you who don’t feel comfortable being around people just yet, but we still want you to be able to serve, so think creatively about what you could do. Maybe you could buy some groceries for a family in need. You could write cards to people who can’t get out of their house. You could do some yard work for a neighbor. Our goal is to have everyone in the church involved in serving in some way that week.  If you have any questions you can contact Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org).

    Loaves and Fishes – July 21

We are still in need of a group (Bible Study class, family, or individual), that would be willing to provide dinner on Tuesday, July 21.
