THE TAYLOR FILES

The truth is in here somewhere.

Before Brian & Lori officially retire at the end of July, we’re continuing our investigation into one of FRC’s longest-running mysteries: How exactly did this whole thing start?

Case File #3 💒

Investigators have traced the origins of Brian and Lori’s relationship back to a highly suspicious decision by FRC’ers Dan & Jennie Wynveen. Prior to their wedding, Dan and Jennie reportedly arranged for Brian and Lori to meet, explaining that they thought members of the wedding party should probably know each other before standing up together. A reasonable explanation on the surface.

Looking back, however, experts now believe this may have been the moment the plot first began to thicken.

The timeline becomes even more interesting when you consider one additional piece of evidence: Lori's college roommate was Jennie Wynveen. That's right. The same Jennie who arranged the introduction.

Records show that Brian and Lori began dating in September. Dan and Jennie's wedding took place in October. Coincidence? The investigation is ongoing. Jennie continues to decline all requests for comment...

Case File #4 ❤️

And in a twist nobody could have predicted, Pastor Brian eventually spent years arranging numerous marriage retreats and encouraging other couples.  Looking back, it seems fitting that a relationship that began with a little help from friends would lead to years of helping other couples build strong marriages.

Through every season, Brian and Lori have sought to follow God's leading together—serving, encouraging, and pointing others toward Christ along the way.

Lost & Found: Last Call

The Lost & Found collection has somehow grown again. If you're missing a jacket, sweatshirt, water bottle, lunch container, or any number of mystery items, please check the coat closet off the carport entrance today.

After today, all unclaimed items will be donated to Good As New—where you may have the opportunity to buy your own stuff back...

Perk Up Someone's Sunday!

A fresh pot of coffee and a friendly welcome can go a long way! We're looking for a few more volunteers to join our After-Church Coffee Serving Team (the ACCST’s).

This easy hospitality ministry helps create a warm gathering place after worship. No special skills are needed—we'll provide the training. You'll help with simple set-up and clean-up and serve only about three times each year.

If you'd like to help make Sundays a little warmer, contact Joan Dykstra at 920-226-0312 (call or text).
