    VBS/Sports Camp 2022 Recap

    Another year of VBS/Sports Camp has come to an end! Thank you for praying for God to speak to the children and keep our leadership energized. Thank you for people that helped decorate, take down, serve where needed, act as ‘gofer’, and many other duties. It takes many hands for a successful week to happen! A BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED! God’s promises are reliable. I asked you to think on this verse: “Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!” (Psalm 66:5). God is good to see us through another big, fun week for the kids and families of our community.

    Family Swim Night

    Cool off with your family on Friday night, August 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Bridgeton Pool.

    Free Market

    Our annual Free Market will be the next morning, Saturday, August 6 at 9:00 a.m. on our parking lot. Bring your stuff to give away to the community. Tables will be provided by the church. Sign up now in the Connection Center! You must be present that day to give away items. No drop-offs will be accepted.

    School Supplies for Free Market

    Once again we will be giving out new backpacks loaded with school supplies to the kids in our community, so we are taking donations to make this happen. NEW school supplies and backpacks can be donated in the appropriate box across from the Connection Center. We will be blessing the first 100 kids to come to Free Market with backpacks full of school supplies to start the year off fresh!

    Promotion Sunday

    August 21 is Promotion Sunday for the new church year for pre-K, children, and youth. That morning parents of preschool and K-5 kids are invited to their children’s rooms for donuts. As we amp up for this new year, we are looking for a few good teachers to help our children learn more about the Bible and God’s plan for them.  If you are looking for the place to serve, talk to Kathy!

  • Bible Study Corner – Vol. 61, No. 13

    Each week more people are returning to church for corporate worship and Bible Study. I would like to challenge each of you to get involved. Pastor Zach just preached through Hebrews 10, and we really are better together. We have classes for everyone. Hope to see you Sunday at 9:45 a.m.

    Men’s Fraternity continues to meet through the summer, but all other Wednesday Bible Studies will resume on September 8.

    Join me on Facebook Live on Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. for a study through Isaiah. If you cannot join live, it is posted on Facebook and website for viewing at your convenience.

    Backpacks

    Last year at the Free Market, we were able to hand out almost 100 backpacks filled with school supplies for the kids in our community. Our goal is to DOUBLE that number this year! We are hoping that small groups, Bible Study classes, Marco Polo groups, and any other group or individual will help us meet this goal. The Forerunner has a list of needed school supplies. Help us reach our goal by August 3 for handout at the Free Market on August 7.

    Impact Week and Free Market

    Are you ready for Impact Week? I pray that you and your family and friends have either signed up for the opportunities listed on the website or you have come up with a plan for helping a neighbor or friend. Check out the opportunities for Impact Week and sign up on our website, feefeebc.org/impactweek.

    I hope many of you plan on loading up your car and bringing your giveaways for the Free Market from 9 – noon on Saturday, August 8. Social distancing will be accomplished by a line of tables separating shoppers from those of us giving stuff away. I hope you can participate. Please let me know if you plan to so we can bring out enough tables for your treasures. Check the website for more information: feefeebc.org/freemarket.

    On the day of the Free Market, we will also be giving away backpacks loaded with school supplies. We need backpacks and school supplies. If you are not shopping, perhaps you would consider getting a check to Steve so we can buy supplies. You can also go on Walmart.com and have it shipped for free to the church.

    Needed School Supplies

    backpacks, notebook paper (wide ruled), #2 pencils, erasable markers, colored pencils, 2-pocket folders, ink pens, Kleenex, crayons, Elmer’s school glue, washable markers, spiral notebooks, quart and gallon Ziploc bags, pencil pouches, composition notebooks, and Clorox wipes.

    Thanks in advance for blessing our community.

    Adult VBS

    I am so excited that we finally have something on the schedule! Adult VBS will take place from Monday, July 27 – Thursday, July 30, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We are, of course, still taking safety precautions. We will meet in the dining room and sit at the round tables where it is easy to socially distance. I will be using the podium and microphone so you can hear it loud and clear. Ronna and friends will provide us with music. She has selected some old and familiar hymns, so hymnals won’t be necessary. Since masks are required in public places, you are encouraged to wear a mask. Snacks will be provided but they will be individually wrapped pastries and bottled/canned drinks. You can bring your own coffee, if you choose. Bring your own Bible and join in the fun! The main parking lot will be in use due to the Mobile Market on Monday, so please park on the side by the Children’s Home and enter through the handicap door. The rest of the week, the main parking lot is fine to use. Adults of any age are welcome!

    Impact Week

    It is so important for the church to continue to be missional. Impact Week will be  the first week of August. One of the ways you can help is with our Free Market on Saturday, August 8. I know we have all had ample opportunity to purge our homes of items we no longer need including clothes, furniture, kitchen items, etc.  If you have not participated in blessing our community before by giving away these items for free, this would be a great year to start!

    We will hand out school supplies again to students in our community during the Free Market. If you are out shopping, pick up a backpack and fill it with school supplies, then drop them off at the church. If you don’t get out to shop, monetary donations are gladly welcome – simply designate some money by check or online giving for “School Supplies.” Schools will be reopening August 24, so we hope to be able to help our community in a big way.

    Free Market

    The Free Market will take place on the church parking lot Saturday, August 8 from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.  We will be giving away items that you have been setting aside after decluttering your home. It is my hope that many of you will participate to aid our community as you have done in the past. You will have a table on which to place clothing, furnishings, kitchen items, baby items, etc. Please let the church know if you plan to participate.

    We will also be handing out backpacks loaded with school supplies. We need both backpacks and school supply items. These can be dropped by the church at your convenience as we will put these supplies into the backpacks.

    Needed School Supplies: backpacks, notebook paper (wide ruled), #2 pencils, erasable markers, colored pencils, 2-pocket folders, ink pens, Kleenex, crayons, Elmer’s school glue, washable markers, spiral notebooks, quart and gallon Ziploc bags, pencil pouches, composition notebooks, and Clorox wipes.

    Praying for You

    I have been praying for all my senior friends. These are unusual times. While I have seen some of you from a distance in church, I am still missing that connection. If you need anything or have a prayer request, please let me know. You can reach me by email at Gloria@feefeebc.org or text/call (314) 604-6071.  While “this too will pass” is not scriptural, it is my hope for each of us.
