    Preschool Care Needed

    We are having more and more people returning to in-person worship so that means more children are needing care. Therefore that also means that loving, caring adults and teens are needed to help! If you can give your time during one worship service each month to care for our preschoolers, please contact Kathy (kathy@feefeebc.org). You will be doing a great service for our families and your church!

    AWANA Club Awards Night is May 19 at 6:00 p.m.

    Plan to come and see what our kids have accomplished!

    Church-Wide Movie Night, May 21 at 7:30 p.m.

    Join us in the courtyard on Friday night, May 21, we will be watching the new Disney movie, Raya and the Last Dragon! Bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs and your own drinks as we watch this exciting new release and have fun together! We will even provide the popcorn!

    VBS Wilderness Escape, July 26-30, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

    Would you love to be a tribe leader to lead the children and preschoolers? Or maybe an Israelite Tent Host, where kids will learn desert life in the Israelite camp through various crafts and skills like: sandal stitcher, butter churner, weaver, and musician? Not sure where you fit in? Don’t worry! We have a place for you! Let’s have fun together as we show kids how God guides and provides in this unique way.

    Can you help us gather supplies for VBS? We will be using A LOT of newspaper. So if you have any old newspapers, please bring them to me and we will put them to good use! A more extensive list will be provided next month listing all the supplies we will need help gathering for VBS.

    A lot of hands will make this VBS a successful one! Sign up today to help in any of these ways. Please pray for the volunteers and kids as all the details fall into place for VBS 2021!

    Sports Crusaders Basketball Camp, July 26-30, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

    Hey sports fans!! Have you missed out on sports this last year? Well, we have an opportunity for you! We will be hosting our annual basketball camp with the Sports Crusaders the same week as VBS, and we need some help to make this a successful event for our kids. Most of the needs will be helping to take care of our camp coaches and leaders, who are college students, as they work hard leading our kids in the sport. Housing, which includes bed and breakfast, and meal gift cards for other meals are the things we need help with for that week.

    If you or your Bible Study groups can help with any of these things, please contact Kathy (kathy@feefeebc.org) or (314) 739-1525. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

    Please be in prayer for the workers, the children who will attend, and the Sports Crusaders, who will lead the basketball camp.

    Registration for VBS and Sports Camp is available on our website: https://feefeebc.org/free-vbs-fee-fee/. There will be a limit to registration for both VBS and basketball camp, so register early.

    Fee Fee Baptist, you are always so generous with your gifts of supplies and money when a need arises in the Children’s Ministry. THANK YOU for providing those gifts! You are a generous people! We are truly blessed!

    It’s hard to believe Easter has past, but I pray the expectancy of the hope that Christ brings hasn’t faded! Paul tells us in Colossians 1:5, “Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the message of truth was given to you. I’m talking about the good news that has come to you.” 

    We are teaching that to our preschoolers and children in Bible Study at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays, KidsZone at 11:00 a.m. during worship, and to our preschoolers in Bible Study and Worship Care on Sunday mornings, AND in AWANA on Wednesday evenings! There are only a few more weeks left in AWANA. I am so thankful for dedicated teachers who are willing to teach our kids God’s word. AWANA Club Awards night is May 19 at 6:00 p.m. Plan to come and see what our kids have accomplished!

    Church-wide Movie Night will be in the courtyard on May 21 (time to be announced). Bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs and your own drinks. We will provide popcorn!

    July 26-30 is VBS Wilderness Escape and Sports Camp. VBS will be in the morning and basketball camp in the afternoon.  We hope to offer VBS in-person and virtual!  If you would like to be involved in leading, it’s not too early to let me know, kathy@feefeebc.org. Registration will be online in April. Please be in prayer for the workers, the children who will attend, and the Sports Crusaders who will lead the basketball camp.

This month the kids are all meeting together in room 110 as we walk with Jesus through the last week of His life on earth. On Easter Sunday, we will divide into age group classes:  K-1st grade in room 205; 2nd-3rd grade in room 209; and Livewires (4th-5th grade) in room 303.

    “I am absolutely sure that not even death or life can separate us from God’s love. Not even angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers can do that. Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can do that. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done,” (Romans 8:38-39).

    “And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works. Not neglecting to gather together, (even if it’s online) … but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching,” (Hebrews 10:25).

    Regathering

    We are looking forward to opening on June 7 for our two worship services only. It will so good to be back with God’s people under the same roof. Please expect that opening will look a lot different than before and we will plan on giving each other a lot of grace as we navigate re-opening during a pandemic for the first time. If you do not feel comfortable coming, or if you are ill, please stay home and take care of yourself! If you do choose to come, be sure to wear a mask and use social distancing. We will share some great greetings and ‘how are you’ from across the room with each other!

    We do plan to have the gym open for overflow and for families with children to gather around tables. I will provide a onetime use Praise Pack with a few activities for each child to go along with the worship service. I would like to see the children engaged rather than just ‘busy.’ You are welcome to bring your own activities for your children to do as well. Just a reminder, there are weekly Bible lessons on our church website that you can use at home in addition to some downloadable activities.

    VBS and Summer Plans

    We are making late summer and fall tentative plans. Look for more information coming in July. I will say that we are tentatively looking at having VBS in a park in late summer. This will all depend on if and when the parks open up and begin taking reservations. We will keep you updated as plans progress and when we can move to Phase 2 of our re-gathering plans.

    Leading Your Family

    I miss all our children and families and workers immensely! I pray for you often that the Father will give you all the patience and love you need to carry on leading your children to know Christ better. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you lead your families. This verse from Deuteronomy 6:5-7 tells us how to do just that:

    “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

    KidsZone

    I miss you in KidsZone and AWANA, kids and parents! If you need anything, (and that includes prayer), don’t hesitate to let us know. Parents, you have a lot on your plate: homeschooling, your own work at home, keeping family happy and healthy. Know that I am praying for you daily.

    On our website each week, you will find a weekly KidsZone for preschoolers and children. I hope you will worship with your children. There is also a worship bulletin that kids can use to follow along with worship services as they sit with you.

    Free Family Resources

    If you need additional resources, you can find many of them through Right Now Media. Just give us permission to put your email into our account and you can access Right Now Media for FREE! It is a great resource for kids’ videos and Bible Studies covering all topics and ages. I especially enjoy “What’s in the Bible” series by Phil Vischer. What an opportunity you have right now to lead your kids to know Jesus better!

    Daily Prayer

    We invite you to involve your kids during our Daily Prayer on Facebook Live every weekday at 7:00 p.m., by having them share prayer requests. What a precious time this has been!

    Summer Fun Week

    Summer Fun Week is coming and will be here before we know it! Vacation Bible School and Sports Crusaders Basketball Camp will be June 22-26. “Wilderness Escape” is our theme for VBS this year, and will be from 9:00 a.m. to noon; Basketball Camp will be from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. These plans are all rather tentative at the moment so pray with me that we will make wise decisions if rescheduling our events is required.

    “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth,” (Job 19:25). What a promise to give us hope to stand on!
