We have had an AMAZING Summer here at BLC, and now we are Back to School!

Our Chargers are doing awesome! We have some great news to share with you

as well as ways you can assist us this year... so READ ON!!!

At BLC, we are the main outreach to families in North St. Louis. We care about their children, people’s physical needs and of course spiritual nurturing. We offer Sunday Church Services in person and online, and Wednesday evening programs for the whole family.

We have a Christian School (CCLS Academy) and after school programs, and evening programs for students 3-5 nights a week at FOUR different locations in North St. Louis!

This group here is from Zion Lutheran in St. Charles. They have been faithfully coming every Tuesday night for 5 years to help at our Holy Cross location. If your church wants to send a group up North to help lead a camp that would be SUCH a BLESSING! You can come weekly, once or twice a month, or 6 times a year. We have the lessons and crafts ready

to go! Contact our Director of Programs Seminarian Chris Knepper at seminarian.chris@bethlehemstlouis.org to join our EAC volunteer team! Email Chris!

Interacting with students

Assisting with crafts

How do we feed that many students? GREAT QUESTION!!!!!! It's not easy, that's for sure! Do you like to cook? Ladies-- can your group of women have a cooking day? We ALWAYS need large pans of: Spaghetti and meatballs, mac-n-cheese, chicken alfredo, or lasagna. To go with any of those: Bags of French bread, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing. Additionally, bags of taco meat and then hard and soft taco shells, nacho chips and salsa are great! We need about 8 pans a night to feed 80-90 kids. Men's Groups - can you BBQ 100 hamburgers for us??

Can you bake pans of spaghetti & meatballs?

Kids love chicken alfredo

and please bake them

in disposable tins

We can re-warm any casserole dish like mostaccioli

ALWAYS fresh fruit is a gift: apples, grapes, cuties, strawberries, and baby carrots. We have an endless need for paper plates, forks, napkins, juice pouches, bags of chips and cookies. You can freeze the pans of food and drop them off or we can arrange a pick up if you have a load for us. Contact Chris Knepper at seminarian.chris@bethlehemstlouis.org

and THANK YOU for supporting our outreach to children!!

Can you make some yummy pans for us??

Mr. Stewart teaching our

3-5th graders

Making learning fun!!!

He enjoys one on one time with the students

Mr. Stew (as the students like to call him) has been at BLC for 26 years, mainly serving in the AV ministry running sound and putting our Sunday morning service online, and also as a leader in the EAC (after school program) where he again loves on kids and teaches them about Jesus while having FUN! His prayer requests are for: The Micro School, that more students come and learn, that the A/V Ministry grows to reach more people with the Gospel online, and for personal spiritual growth for himself as he leads the school for us this year. Thank you all for the prayers and support of our school!!!

Daily devotions and

prayer time

Once again, we took "Jesus to the Streets" This is one of our favorite
