Sign Up to Attend & Help with the GRILL & CHILL Community Block Party here @ FRC on Wednesday, May 30th, from 5-7:30 PM!! We are excited about this upcoming event! Our goal is to just be neighborly…in a BIG but simple way!! It’s an opportunity to invite your neighbors to join you here for some great food, music, games, and just get to know each other. Invites for you to use are available at the end of the pews or at the sign-up table in the back. This is an “all-hands-on-deck” opportunity with many ways to contribute your time/talent/treasure. Examples: set-up, donate food items, kitchen help/food prep, “runners” from kitchen to outdoors, help with games, food serving, take-down/clean-up, etc. Visit the table in back to see the various sign-up sheets, to pick up a “Ways to Love Your Neighbor” flyer, and/or to talk to a representative of our planning team. Also, you may call Brenda Stecker at 920-377-2017 for any questions. All sign-ups also available @frcoostburg.org.

On Sunday, June 10th, at 6:00 PM we will be hosting the Worship America simulcast featuring Chris Tomlin, Switchfoot, Crowder, Phil Wickham and a message by Greg Laurie. “Greg Laurie is not only a personal friend, but is one of the great communicators of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our generation. They have written him up to be the evangelist of the future and he is. I highly recommend him.” This event is a great opportunity for you to bring your family and friends to hear some great Christian artists and to hear a message by Greg Laurie that will challenge them to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of their lives. Be thinking of praying for someone to invite. Also, watch next week’s bulletin to see how you can help with this event.
