    Middle School Mini Golf Night!

    On Tuesday, July 12, all current middle schoolers and incoming 6th graders are welcome to join us for our Middle School Mini Golf Night! We will be heading to Aloha Mini Golf and Shaved Ice in Valley Park for a fun night of all-you-can-play mini golf (and obviously some shaved ice, too)! We will leave the church that night at 6:00 p.m. and will return at 9:00 p.m. Cost is just $5/person for this super fun night! Sign up in the Rafters so we know you’re coming. We hope to see you there!

    Underground Church

    I am so excited to bring back one of my favorite events this summer, Underground Church. Not only is this night a fun, intense game to play, but it is also an immersive experience for our students to see what it is like to be a Christian in a country that is closed to spreading the Gospel. There are more than 50 countries all over the world that are closed off to the Gospel, so it is important to not only understand the freedoms that we have, to worship, but also to realize that it is our job as Christians to spread the Gospel to all ends of the earth. Underground Church will take place Friday, July 22 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. here at the church. There is no cost to this event, but we will be taking donations to fill Action Packs to send to missionaries in these closed-off locations through Voice of the Martyrs. Here is a list of some items we will be collecting:

    • Blankets
    • Jackets (adult or child sizes)
    • Light sweaters (adult or child)
    • Gloves or mittens
    • Knit hats
    • Socks (adult or child)
    • Solid color t-shirts (adult or child)
    • Twin size bed sheets
    • New tarps
    • Packs of zip ties
    • Towels
    • Bars of soap
    • Sponge or foam balls (for children)

    Washington D.C. Trip

    Thank you, church, for all your prayers this week while we were in Washington DC! Trips like this are not possible without a church family supporting us from back home. I consider myself blessed every day to get the opportunity to lead these students, and I am even more thankful to be a part of a church that supports local, domestic, and international missions the way Fee Fee does. If you see one of our students or leaders who had the opportunity to go this year, I hope you will stop and ask them about their experience! I also hope that their stories and experiences will encourage and challenge you to serve in your local community. There is a lot of work to be done here in Bridgeton, and God is calling YOU to do it! So don’t hesitate to His calling!

    Youth Family & Friends Cardinals Game

    We still have tickets left for our trip to the Cardinals game coming up on June 29! Tickets are just $10/person, but you will need to provide your own transportation to the stadium. You can purchase tickets on the Microsoft Form that was emailed out at the beginning of the month. If you cannot find that, or need it resent to you, email kyle@feefeebc.org. Invite your friends and family members for this super fun night at the ballpark!

    Pray for our Washington, D.C. Team!

    We will be sending a team of 30 students and adult leaders to Washington, D.C. in just a few short days, and we are so excited! While we are there, we will be serving with a local church doing ministry together and supporting them in many ways. We will be doing projects such as painting, minor construction, homeless ministry, prayer walking, and whatever else God will throw our way while we are there! Here are a few ways you can practically pray for our team:

    • Pray for safe travels to and from Washington, D.C.
    • Pray for the city of Waldorf, MD and Washington, D.C., and their people. Pray that we will be able to bless those we meet.
    • Pray for our students and leaders, that this will be a great bonding experience for them to grow closer together as a team, but also that this will be a fruitful week for their relationship with the Lord.

    I am so blessed to lead these students in a church that so faithfully supports them, and many others, in missions. So, thank you church family!

    Summer Fun!

    We have officially rolled out our Summer Schedule for 2022, and I am so excited for what is in store! We have some great things planned, and we are looking forward to making so many memories together. Students should have received the schedule during Bible Study and parents should have received an email, but if you need an extra copy of the schedule, you can find them in the Rafters. You can also refer to our social media and the website for more details.

    Shred Truck Fundraiser

    We are hosting another Shred Truck Fundraiser on our campus on Saturday, May 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to help raise funds for our DC Mission Trip! This is the first one we have hosted since the pandemic, so if you have accrued extra documents that you would like to have safely and securely shredded (which I’m sure you have), come and see us! For every box that you need shredded, we are asking for a $5.00 per box donation. We hope to see you there, and as always, thank you for supporting our Student Ministry!

    Thank You!!!

    Wow…where do I even begin…Thank you, Church, for all of your support and prayers over the last couple of months in preparation, but especially over the last week as we enjoyed our annual DNOW Weekend! This weekend was one filled with lots of laughs, fun games, amazing worship, acts of service, genuine conversation, connections with new friends, opportunities to grow closer together, and an amazing display of the Gospel. All of this was made possible by you, Church. Whether you donated financially to sponsor a student, donated supplies, or prayed for a student, YOU partnered with God to make this weekend happen! I encourage you to talk with a student and ask them about the weekend, and what they experienced. Please continue to also pray for these students over the next couple of weeks. Seeds were planted this weekend that may take time to root. Pray that God will speak clearly to them, and that they will surrender to His will. We want to continue to see lives change for the Gospel!

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!

    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.
