August Mission of the Month offering has been designated for Kelsey Corpas at World Team – Spain. Kelsey does church planting in Madrid, Spain with World Team. Spain has a history of being hurt by the church, so it takes a long time to build trust with Spaniards and show them the love of Christ. Kelsey and her coworkers build relationships and win trust with others through English conversation nights, local sports teams, and a Christian-based personal training and fitness classes. These relationships lead to invitations to Bible study and sharing the gospel, which will lead to church plants when people come to Christ. Kelsey also serves on the leadership team for World Team Europe. She was chosen by the European Director to be one of five members to create World Team Europe’s long-term strategic plan and make the organization more effective and efficient. She has received to-date $119.75.

This Sunday and throughout the week we will be praying for the ministry of Samaritan’s Hand in Sheboygan. They have submitted the following prayer requests: 1) Pray for clear guidance in regard to how we move forward with the transitional house 2) Pray for God's protection for the men about to move into the sober house 3) Pray for a hedge of protection over Kully and the staff 4) Pray for those who have finished their support groups that they have found Jesus to fill the holes in their hearts 5) Prepare those who are just about to start group and hear of God's love for the first time.

Attention Church Family and Visitors!! We would appreciate it if you would sign the Friendship register prior to worship or during the service.  Visitors, we would appreciate it if you would fill out your preferred contact information so we can recognize your presence with us--we promise not to bother you. FRCers, by signing the register and by passing it to those near you as necessary, it helps us to keep our records up to date and sit helps us to get to know each other better.  Thanks for taking the time to register your attendance with us.

In the near future we are featuring Faces SERVING FRC during the pre-service slides. We hope that seeing the faces of those serving FRC will help connect us to those who are in positions of service and leadership. We will be starting with members of Consistory but we anticipate expanding this to other individuals and groups that are serving our church family. We will also continue to post Faces of FRC as new submissions come in. To make a submission all you need to do is answer a few simple questions and submit a picture.  If you want we can use your picture from our pictorial directory. You can submit your information by going to the FRC website (frcoostburg.org) and click on the Faces of FRC tab or pick up a form at the Information Booth.  Completed paper forms can be mailed with a photo to the church or put in the Faces of FRC box at the Information Booth. We look forward to seeing your smiling face on Faces of FRC.

A huge thank you to all who served or donated items to the food distribution on Tuesday.  We were able to serve 24 families in the name of Jesus. The next food pick-up will be Tuesday, September 13 from 6:00-7:00 at the Parsonage drive way.  If you or someone you know could use some help, we hope to see you there! Thank you for your ongoing generous support of this ministry.  

The food vault is in need of a few items to help fill the shelves. Items needed are: cereal, crackers, egg noodles, alfredo sauce, and ketchup. Any donations are appreciated.

The next Men’s Prayer Breakfast will be Saturday, September 3 at 6:00 AM at Judi’s Place in Oostburg. All men are welcome to join us. Sign up is encouraged but not necessary. There is a sign-up sheet at the Information Booth.
