We've seen in Europe and Canada that societies which once had Christianity as a dominant influence are now described as "post-Christian" cultures. It isn't hard to see that our own country has been heading in the same direction and even some notable faith leaders have publicly "de-constructed" from the Christian faith. This shift raises many questions in the church, especially for young people as they navigate the cultural changes. This Sunday, we will begin a new sermon series called Tough Questions. I'll begin with the question, "Should the Christian faith be more progressive?" I look forward to seeing you on Sunday as we address the first of nine questions that we will address this summer. These are indeed tough questions and the answers we provide are eternally significant.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
re:CONNECT BREAKFAST
Sunday, June 13, 9:45am | LWA Entrance
It's time to get reconnected! After a year of restrictions, zoom groups, online church, etc., it's important for people to reconnect with one another and learn more about the small groups and ministries offered at Fellowship. It's also a chance to meet all the new faces around Fellowship. Enjoy breakfast outside in the circle drive at the LWA entrance while Chris’ Cakes flips pancakes. No reservations are required.
BABY BOTTLE DRIVE
This Sunday through June 20
Grab an empty baby bottle in the lobby, take it home, fill it up with loose change, and bring it back to church and all donations will be triple matched to benefit Thrive St Louis! This ministry serves women in the St Louis area who are faced with a crisis pregnancy by providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support for a year!  These baby bottles go a long way in helping Thrive carry out their mission, and no donation is too small! If you would prefer to make a cash or check donation, just mention that in your giving envelope or on a check. Thanks for partnering with us to help support Thrive and serve women and babies in St Louis! Filled bottles can be returned to the Welcome Desk in the lobby.
