    DNOW!

    We are so excited for our DNOW 2022 Weekend! This is one of my favorite events every year, and this year is shaping up to be one of the best yet! This year we are partnering with Remix Church and their students; Lenny Barber is returning as our speaker; and Katelynn Griffey is leading worship for us! Plus, our theme, “Stand,” is going to serve as a tool of preparation for our students to ready them for the trials they face every day in their schools and in life. Continue to pray for our students and leaders leading up to this event!

    Washington, D.C. Forms

    If you are signed up to go on the Washington, D.C. mission trip this summer, please make sure that you log on to the Praying Pelican Website and fill out the legal and risk assessment forms. These need to be completed before we leave, so do it sooner rather than later! If you have any questions, contact Kyle: kyle@feefeebc.org.

    Minneapolis Mission Trip Report

    Thank you so much, Church, for your prayers and support of our students and leaders who served in Minneapolis this last week. I am happy to report this was one of our best mission trips to date, that I can remember – from serving as a student here, to being a college leader, to now serving the church as Director of Student Ministries. I am so proud of our students and the hard work they produced, but I am prouder of the community they continued to build here, between themselves. Seeing them interact and work together, laugh and learn as a group, and even play silly games together, meant more than you can know. These kids built a bond together that will continue to strengthen our youth group for years to come. Please pray in the weeks ahead that we will grow together and see the fruits of the work we did. Also pray for our partner church, Alfa y Omega, and the city of Minneapolis, that God will continue to work and move there!

    DNOW Updates!

    I am so excited for our upcoming DNOW weekend that is happening July 23-25. Continue to pray for this weekend and that God will move through our students. I am so excited to announce that this year we are offering this event to be FREE to all guests that wish to attend! So, if your student has always wanted to invite a friend or two to DNOW, but has been hesitant because of the cost, NOW is the time to encourage them to come!

    Minneapolis Mission Trip

    As our departure date for the Twin Cities gets closer each day, there is a large sense of anticipation building. We are all very excited for the opportunity to serve in Minneapolis after losing out on the opportunity to travel and serve last year. We are continuously monitoring the situation prior to our trip and working closely with Praying Pelican Missions to try and create the safest environment possible. Please continue to pray for our student ministry, Praying Pelican Missions, and the city of Minneapolis. We are anxious for the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in just a few short months.

    Students, as we get closer to this trip, do not forget your calling to serve in your local community. Being the hands and feet of Jesus does not begin and end by traveling to different cities or countries. Jesus has called you to serve in your local community, schools, and at your activities. The mission never ends, so embrace it, and continue to build the Kingdom!

    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.

    No Mobile Market on December 28

    St. Louis Area Foodbank is closed on Monday, December 28, so there will not be a Mobile Market on that day. However, we are going to continue to host Mobile Markets in 2021!
