    Mobile Markets 2022

    We have been partnering with St. Louis Area Foodbank as a temporary Mobile Market site for the past year and a half. This has been such a blessing to our community, and we love getting to be a part of it. That’s why we are so excited that the Foodbank has asked us to become a permanent Mobile Market site starting in January 2022! Really, the only change you’ll notice is they are asking us to do the Mobile Markets only once a month. So, starting in January, our Mobile Markets will be on the second Monday of each month at 10:00 a.m. Our 2022 dates will be: January 10, February 14, March 14, April 11, May 9, June 13, July 11, August 8, September 12, October 10, November 14, and December 12. We do still have two Mobile Markets left in 2021 on December 6 and 20. All of our Mobile Markets are open to anyone in the community that is in need of free groceries.

    I also want to take this time to say a big thank you to all of our church members that have volunteered at our Mobile Markets! This incredible blessing would not be possible without your hard work so thank you for having a servant’s heart and for helping us pursue the good of our community!

    Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

    Have you prayed today for our missionaries serving all over the world right now to declare the Gospel? If not, take a moment right now to pause and pray. Our Week of Prayer for International Missions is December 5-12. Join us as we pray each day for different missionaries and people all over the world. This will culminate with our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering on Sunday, December 12. The goal this year is $27,000. All the money goes to support IMB missionaries and their work declaring the Gospel around the world.  You can give in person on Sunday morning, online through the church website, or mail in your check.

    DNOW is back this summer and we are so excited for what God has in store for our students this summer. Our theme for the 2021 is “No Filter,” and we will be learning how God has designed us to stand out, and not to be living how the world tells us we should. DNOW will be July 23-25, and will be a weekend filled with music, games, fellowship, service projects, and the chance to build a great community with other students. The cost for the weekend is $40.00. A $10.00 deposit will be due by the registration deadline of July 11. You can register by filling out the form in The Rafters or on our website at dnow.feefeebc.org. We hope you will join us for this amazing weekend and invite your friends!

    Summer Schedule Info

    As we prepare to look forward to our crazy busy summer schedule, I want to send a couple reminders. First and foremost, the safety of our students and volunteers is of the highest importance. While vaccinations are being rolled out and people are feeling more comfortable in returning to normalcy, this virus is still very real and present. So here are some steps we are taking to make sure we are as safe as possible:

    • We will be closely following CDC guidelines in response to COVID-19. Masks will be required at all events, at all times. This will be strictly monitored and enforced.
    • Social distancing will be enforced, where applicable.
    • All events will have strict cut-offs for sign-ups. We are limited on space and we want to respect each other.
    • Events like DNOW, Summer Blast Concert, Chi Alpha Summer, and our weekly Sunday Morning Bible Study will still be available as online content, either on Zoom, or streamed (more details to come on that).

    We are so excited for the opportunities ahead of us this summer and we hope your student will be a part of it. I know that we are still in some crazy times, so if you have questions or concerns about anything at all, please reach out and I will be happy to help out. Be praying for our students as we gear up for an exciting summer! God has great things in store!

    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?
