FRC Calendar

HEADLINE NEWS

Today we thank God for the women who have shaped our lives with love, faith, strength, kindness, encouragement, patience… and probably snacks. 😊

Whether you are a mom, grandmother, aunt, sister, mentor, teacher, caregiver, or faithful friend, we celebrate the many ways God uses women to reflect His love and care to others.

“Her children arise and call her blessed…” — Proverbs 31:28

As you leave worship today, all ladies age 18 and older are invited to take a small gift in honor of Mother’s Day. Thank you for the ways you serve, encourage, nurture, and point others to Jesus every day. Happy Mother’s Day!

SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY – MAY 16 🌱 Many hands make light work… and also make weeds extremely uncomfortable.

Join us for a few hours of helping fellow FRC’ers with spring yard projects. It’s also one of your last chances to work alongside Pastor Brian before he rides off into retirement to tend his blueberry farm. This may be your best opportunity to receive his unsolicited agricultural expertise free of charge!

7:30 AM start time + coffee and treats from Oostburg Bakery. Because powdered sugar is an important spiritual gift.

👉 Sign up HERE, at frcoostburg.org, or at the Welcome Center.

The Motmots are back. Which means somewhere in Oostburg, somebody is waking up, looking out their window, and thinking, “…who did this to me?”

For just $20, our Youth Mission Trip team will lovingly place a flock of Motmots in the yard of your choice. Friend, neighbor, grandma, coworker, small group leader… the possibilities are endless.

👉 Sign up to flock your friends HERE

And yes — Motmot Insurance is available, because what goes around… tends to come around!  Insurance HERE.

LOCAL NEWS

CAPS OFF TO OUR GRADUATES! Join us next Sunday (May 17) as we celebrate our graduates and pray for them as they head into the next chapter of life.

Then head to the Fellowship Hall afterward for cookies, coffee, and punch — because at FRC, we believe every major life milestone should involve baked goods.

FOR THE ORGANIZERS AMONG US!

Here’s some newly added calendar items:

• Sun., July 12th: Annual Family Mini-Golfing and Brat Fry at Sunset Hills.
• Sun., July 19th: Join us for worship as we give thanks to God for Pastor Brian & Lori Taylor and celebrate their many faithful years of service and ministry at FRC. We’ll also take time to pray for them as they begin this new chapter of retirement.
• Wed., July 29th: HOGG Day at Noah’s Ark for Jr. High!

HOSPITALITY GUIDES: MORE THAN A HANDSHAKE 😊 Our Hospitality Guide Ministry has been absolutely flourishing! What started as a desire to take “greeting” beyond a quick hello and instead build genuine connections with visitors has become a tremendous blessing to our church family.

We are joyfully seeing new faces return regularly for worship, conversations happening naturally, and people feeling truly welcomed and noticed when they walk through our doors. It’s a beautiful reminder that hospitality is ministry — and God is using it in exciting ways at FRC.

A warm smile, a friendly conversation, and helping someone feel at home can make an eternal difference. Thank you to everyone serving in this growing ministry!

If you want to see if this might be a ministry to get involved in, give anyone on the FRC team a shoutout and we’ll connect you with someone who’s involved in the awesome things happening!

✔️ 3-PEAT ACCOMPLISHED! For the third week in a row, worship attendance topped 400 — with 403 in attendance last Sunday!

The statistics-obsessed editor is now seeking a dynasty. 😄

Can we top 400 for a fourth straight week? Let’s see if we can keep the streak alive before summer cabins and baseball tournaments start stealing people away.

OFFERING UPDATES. Last week’s offering totaled $21,892

The Deacon’s have designed two options for the May/June Special Offering. Please consider supporting Love INC and/or the Wynveens work overseas.

SING THAT TUNE... Someone suggested we provide a heads up to the praise songs for upcoming worship. Let’s try that and see whether it’s helpful (this means it would be nice if you gave us feedback!)
