Food and Lodging
Our goal is to make it as easy and affordable as possible for families to attend the Scripture Fest. Read below for the details of meal and lodging options.
Meal Provisions
We will be providing a Lunch and Dinner meal during the event. More information will be updated here soon!
Friday Lunch
Mexican Buffet - For this meal we are asking everyone to pitch in which makes it light work for everyone. To make it as easy as possible, we have set up a volunteer sheet for you to sign up to bring an item or two... or as many as you wish. If you live far away, choose something that travels easy. If you live in Missouri, you can bless others by signing up for those items that are harder to travel with. To go to the sign up sheet and see the options, click on the box above.
Friday Dinner - Pizza from a local establishment along with salad (gluten free options available)
Saturday Lunch - Build-your-own sandwich buffet, veggies, salads
Saturday Dinner: Pulled Pork / Pulled Beef sliders, salads and sides, dessert
We will also provide snacks during a morning break for those younger (or older) ones who might need something to hold them over before lunch.
A water station will also be available throughout the event.
We ask that everyone please keep all food and beverages in the fellowship/eating area in the basement of the church. Please no food or drinks (except water) in the sanctuary or other carpeted areas in the church. Little ones needing a snack can be led to the eating area or to an outside area as needed, to have snacks.
Lodging
We live in a rural community making nearby host lodging minimal. However, we do have several nearby hotels that are quite reasonable and we will research rates with them for your stay if you are coming from a longer distance. (See list below). With a quick search you'll also find several cute bread and breakfast style places to stay in the area, with beautiful views.
While we don't have hosting homes currently available (or at least very few), we believe we will have limited "scholarships" available to those who would like to attend but require assistance with lodging for either large or small families. These will be provided upon request so please contact us if lodging is a burden for your family. Our goal is to make it affordable so all who wish to attend are able to do so. But do know that these options have some limits and will be provided on a case by case basis and first-ask-first-serve!
