WEEK OF FEBRUARY 23rd 

FRC NEWS

THIS WEEK’S HEADLINERS

SO THIS HAPPENED…Our fearless Investigative Reporter happened upon this absolute disaster (left) earlier this week, and folks, it’s a doozy. 😬 The moral of the story? Never, ever, trust Pastor Toby with your decorating needs. 😅🎨 Trust us, you’d be finding glitter in your hair for weeks. 🧑‍🎨

🔭 👁️CSI OOSTBURG. Working overtime this week, our fearless Investigative Reporter also uncovered a series of threats wreaking havoc down the FRC’s hallways. With the 2nd annual Cornhole Tourney just one week away, we think Team Daane (who didn’t place in last year’s cornhole tournament, by the way) is threatening to make a clean sweep in every round. Or, at least we think that’s what we heard. 🌽🎯 There’s still room to sign up your 2-person team. Online readers register HERE or go to frcoostburg.org. The odds of Team Daane’s quest for the trophy significantly diminish as more teams sign up, just say’in. Come watch the action starting at 2 pm on Mar. 2!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY PARENTS - Children's Sunday is only one week away!  That's 7 days, or 168 hours, or 10080 minutes!  We are so excited! Please practice song & scripture with your child (2nd-5th grade solo pieces,) and we look forward to seeing the kids in the fellowship hall by 8:40 on March 2nd! The kids are truly looking forward to leading our service!

HEY FIFTH GRADERS! You do NOT want to miss this epic afternoon of fun! Join us on March 9 from 1-3 PM for snacks, a devotion, and a whole lot of laughter as we roll the dice and play Bunco! 🥳✨Trust us—this is gonna be a blast, and you’ll want in on the action! Check out the Sign-Up Genius HERE so you don’t miss out! 🎉🎲😃

OODLES of NOODLES are heading your way on Wed., March 12th at the next Wed. Nite Family Meal. We weren’t able to have the spaghetti & salad in February due to the snowstorm so we’ll try again in March! You know how it’s done - sign-up you and the family at frcoostburg.org, stop by the Welcome Center or online readers click HERE.

🙏 PRAYER CARE & UPDATES

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers for Kalli Ramaker and our family. She is home and continuing to recover. We are praising God for answered prayers and thanking Him for all of you. Thank you so much! Ed & Jan Kane

I am truly grateful FRC Family and staff, for your prayer support on my behalf! I am blessed to have so many friends, family, and church family sending cards, texts, patting me on the shoulder, and letting me know that they are lifting me up in prayer as I go through this cancer journey. Mike Soerens

This is a week of giving praise to God for so many great things (which, is it a God-thing that the praise team is singing Great Things today?)!!!  Here are your updates: Both John Fischer and Don Teunnissen returned home on Friday!! Pray as both of these individuals continue to strengthen their bodies and specifically for Don, pray for his regiment of outpatient therapies as he continues his recovery. Tim Kildea’s back surgery went well - pray for his smooth recovery and for a successful post-operative plan. Dave Huibregtse is waiting on a surgery date to remove the tumor on his colon. As we mentioned last week the great news is the cancer is contained and it’s not expected he’ll need post-op treatment. The great news for Jeff Brusse is he’s back to light duty work & he got clearance to drive! And, we’re thinking Howie is delivering on buying breakfast this week… Jeff continues to work on outpatient therapy for both his arm and leg.

This week’s mission partner focus is for Love INC of Sheboygan County. Pray for the staff and neighbors during this uncertain time, especially our new neighbors through our Refugee Resettlement Ministry. Pray for peace as we lean on Christ to avoid worrying about things we cannot control. Also, please pray for our ministry as we seek new staff members to support our ministry. Pray for guidance in the selection process and for the right people to step forward for the various roles we need to fill.
