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

    North American Missionaries have had some unique challenges with COVID-19. But what has not changed is the need for the Gospel to be declared. They could definitely use our prayers. March 29 through April 4 is our Week of Prayer for North American Missions. You can download the Prayer Guide on the Downloads section of our website. 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. Please be praying for our missionaries!

    Upcoming Mobile Markets

    We know that right now it is difficult for some people to get the food they need. Fee Fee has partnered with St. Louis Area Foodbank to provide a Mobile Food Market! Every other Monday from 10:00 a.m. until noon, you can drive through the church parking lot and volunteers and staff will put food in your car. We ask that you have space in your vehicle for the food items and that you not leave your vehicle during the distribution. The upcoming Mobile Markets are March 22 and April 5. You can contact Andrew if you have any questions or would be interested in volunteering, andrew@feefeebc.org.

    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

    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?”

    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!

    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 as you are reading this to pause and pray. Now that you’ve done that, let me ask the next question: have you given financially to support them? Our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goal is $25,000. All the money goes to support these missionaries and their work. You can give in person on Sunday morning, online through the church website, or mail in your check.

    Upcoming Mobile Market Dates

    Everyone – you, your friends, your neighbors – are welcome to come to the church on Monday, December 14 from 10:00 a.m. until noon (or whenever we run out of food) for our Mobile Market. Simply drive up, pop your trunk, and have groceries put in your car. St. Louis Area Foodbank is closed on Monday, December 28 so there will be no Mobile Market on that day.

    Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

    There are currently 3,535 missionaries serving in the world from the International Mission Board. We are so thankful for these men and women who are willing to faithfully follow the call of God to “go and make disciples of all nations.” A huge portion of their financial support comes from the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. As a church, we are setting a goal for ourselves of giving $25,000 towards this offering. Pray about what you and your family might be willing to give towards the Gospel being presented all over the world. Then bring your gifts in December marked for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

    Upcoming Mobile Market Dates

    We are planning to continue our Mobile Markets at least through the end of 2020.  Everyone – you, your friends, your neighbors – are welcome to come to the church on Mondays, November 30 or December 14, from 10:00 a.m. until noon (or whenever we run out of food). Simply drive up, pop your trunk, and have groceries put in your car.  St. Louis Area Foodbank is closed on Monday, December 28 so there will be no Mobile Market on that day.
