Pre-School Vacation Bible School

Our theme for this year's Vacation Bible School is Bible Blast to the Past. We have worked hard to develop a creative and engaging theme that is tailored to our students, our families and our church. Come join the adventure as kids zoom back in time to KNOW what God's love is, EXPLORE God's everlasting love, and SERVE God by loving others. Invite friends and family members to attend. Registration information available at KidPoint Check-In!
Interested in Volunteering for Vacation Bible School? April 20-24th Pre-School VBS and June 8-12th School-Age VBS VBS is a great way for our church to reach new families. Consider scheduling time off to volunteer to teach a group, check kids in, prepare snacks or create craft projects. Sign up on your Connect Card this Sunday.

Sunday, March 8, after 11 am service
We are planning for special guest Daren Wendell, ActiveWater mission, to join us in worship. He is coming through St. Louis as part of his 100 marathons in 100 days. That day the run will be from Wildwood to the Arch.
Your generous donations to First Christian will help supply clean water in Jesus' name to the people of Ethiopia! You can help bring safe water to 31,400 community members and school children in Borena as well as sanitation and hygiene education to 14,700 people.
Not only can we give, we can also participate in this run to add visibility to this mission. Senior Pastor, Steve Wingfield, is training to join him for a half-marathon. While our Family Life Pastor, Dennis Hounshell, will lead a 5K run/walk at Forest Park for those not able to run a full or half marathon. Contact Dennis at 314 837-2269 for more information.
