What’s Happening at FRC

Our Christian Sympathy is extended to Kevin & Vicki Soerens and their extended family in the death of Kevin’s father, Harold “Archie” Soerens, on July 24th.  We pray God will comfort them in their time of bereavement.

For this Sunday and throughout the week we will be praying for JP and his family as they transition to a new ministry.  They have submitted the following prayer requests: 1) Pray for our family to transition well as we are in the U.S. this year.  2) That God would provide the funding we need to return to the UAE by next summer. 3) For a coaching/mentoring meeting that JP and AP have with another missionary couple next week. 4) For the man JP was discipling in his former position; he has been facing persecution from his family; pray he remains faithful and full of hope.

Our focus for August is, Q & A #90; what is the coming-to-life of new self?  The beginner answer to that question is, "Wholehearted joy in Christ and a love and delight to live according to God's word."  Parents, it would be great if you would help your kids learn this valuable lesson.  Don't forget the You, Me, and the HC Day on Tuesday, August 17, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM.  A sign-up sheet is outside of the church library.

It was great to see many kids this past week at You, Me, and the HC Day!!!

Our Mission of the Month offering for August will go to Kelsey Corpas (TeBeest) who serves with World Team in Madrid Spain. World Team is a church-planting organization.  Spain is a country where less than 2% of the population consists of evangelical Christians. Kelsey’s main role on the team is evangelism and discipleship to lead to church-planting.  She also serves on the European Leadership Team for World Team, seeking to help make European workers more effective and efficient in their work for the kingdom. Kelsey thanks you for your partnership in ministry in prayers, financial giving, and encouragement. She and her husband, Josué, look forward to being with us in person on Sunday, August 15. If you would like to meet with Kelsey please contact her at kelsey.corpas@worldteam.org.
