ANNOUNCING MARCH/APRIL Special Offering. We’re continuing our quest to offer multiple options for special offering and expanding it over 2 months. Our March/April recipients will be Kyle & Jayne Wenig of Athletes In Action and Bob Abel with Remember Nhu. Bob will update us via video today.  And we received this note from Kyle Wenig earlier this week: we are so excited to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of athletes and coaches through Athletes in Action!  As college campus missionaries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, much of our ministry is made up of leading Bible studies, pre-game chapels, one-on-one discipleship, evangelism, and growth groups. Each year, we also have the opportunity to join other college athletes as we send them around the world to use their platform through sports to share the ultimate message: Life’s greatest victory is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ! Also, the Wenig’s will be visiting us on March 9th, including during the Sunday School hour! You may designate your special offering to either of these individuals and all monies received that are undesignated will be split between the two.

175th Anniversary Fun Facts!‍

FRC’s first church building was in “East Oostburg” which was located on what’s now known as Sauk Trail Road and in the proximity of the neighborhood of current FRC’ers, Bev & Gary Gabrielse. Then, approximately 10 years later, the congregation built another church building in East Oostburg. And, wait for it, once the railroad came through the village of Oostburg, the congregation decided to relocate to the village as it was more convenient. They bought a building on what’s now our church parking lot from another church. Question: Can you name that church?
