("Getting Along Like Sisters") is a group of maturing (middle age) women, both single and married, who like a ladies night out on the second Friday of each month. They get together for fun and fellowship in a variety of activities such as dinner, concerts, movies, tours, or parlor games. J.O.Y. ("Just Older Youth") is a group of adults, all of whom are old enough to be AARP members, who usually gather on the third Thursday of the month for meals, games and outings. These events provide fun and fellowship for the members while strengthening the church family bond between them. Men’s Breakfasts take place the third Saturday of each month, starting at 8:00 and lasting as long as they choose. They have had special guests, but often the group of varying ages simply enjoys that time together, as well as the food cooked by ladies of the church. MUSIC MINISTRIES The Chancel Choir, under the direction of Jason Martin, sings for most 10:15 a.m. Sunday worship services and on special occasions appropriate to the church year, except for the summer months, during which it takes a break. The Chancel Choir sings a diverse repertory ranging from traditional to contemporary, including gospel and jazz. All who enjoy singing and/or offering praise with musical instruments are invited to participate. Also under Jason’s direction is the Praise Band that leads music during Wednesday Worship and offers special music on select Sunday mornings. The Handbell Choir, under the leadership of Lynette Milles, is a part of Sunday worship as scheduled. FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN consists of three groups. Rebekah Circle meets once a month from September through June at 7:30 p.m. at the home of a hostess. Deborah circle meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the home of the hostess. Miriam Circle meets quarterly at 10:30 a.m. in the church Quiet Room. Circle meetings are a time of fellowship, study, worship, and monthly service projects. These projects serve a variety of needs in the local area and often work in cooperation with other worthwhile organizations and other congregations. CARING NEEDLES meets the third Monday of each month to sew and have fellowship. Using fabric and yarn donated by members of the congregation, they are sewing lap robes, bibs, wheelchair and walker pockets, as well as knitting shrugs that will be given to a nursing home for use by its residents. TRANSPORTATION is offered by volunteers from the congregation to those in our congregation who are in need of it. ST. LOUIS SQUARE DANCE EDUCATION COMMITTEE (SSDEC) meets each Thursday night beginning in September and going through May. It is an opportunity for fun, fellowship and exercise. Among the agencies that we support with budget and volunteer hours are the following: T.E.A.M., a local service to the hungry and homeless Habitat for Humanity Meals on Wheels In addition to these ministries, Florissant Valley Christian Church serves the community as a polling place.
