📸 YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST 🔎

Our First Ever Exposé. Our crack Investigative Reporter has uncovered the truth and we’re about to solve last week’s mysterious case of “What is happening on February 23 that involves fun, laughter, and dessert?” We’re introducing to you FRC’s Cabin Fever Reliever - an event for all ages - at Oostburg Christian School on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 23rd from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. Lots of activities are in planning -

• Pie & Ice Cream (don’t you always lead with dessert)?
• Torte’s (if our Baker’s prefer that over a pie)
• Basketball
• Pickleball and Intro to Pickleball
• Parachute & hula hoops fun for the Little’s
• Bingo, with prizes
• Kids Board games
• Card games - any Uno champs among us?
• And, snacks for all
  

This is a great opportunity for connecting with our faith family and relieving our winter-induced cabin fever! And FRC Bakers (we know and love your gifts😀), would you consider donating a torte or pie? Online Readers: click HERE to donate a dessert, sign-up to attend, or both! Of course you can also sign up at the Welcome Center or at frcoostburg.org.

🌽🎯It’s BAAACK. The 2nd Annual Cornhole Tournament, sponsored by the Men’s Ministry Team, on Sun., March 2nd at 2 PM.

For the competitive cornholers among us, here’s the skinny - format is double elimination, the tournament is limited to the first 20 teams (2 persons per team), participants must be 12 years or older. And of course there’s snacks, drinks and a viewing area for those wanting to watch the action.

📰📢 SERVE OPPORTUNITIES 

CALLING FOR HELP. We’re looking for individuals to roll up their sleeves and help with rebuilding in the flood-ravished Rock Valley, IA area. There is work for all skills - from painting to pounding; sweeping to nailing; you name it! It would be helpful to get a few additional people handy with tools who can direct the project and help guide our volunteers. We’re calling this initiative Reformed Rebuilders Remake! We have numerous weeks to choose from spanning from late March to the end of April (we will not be gone on Easter)! If you would consider serving, please come to an Informational Session on Sun., Feb. 9 immediately following the morning service - let’s gather on the rise near the grand piano! Note - if you know of individuals outside of FRC who would like to be involved in a service project, feel free to communicate this opportunity. If you cannot attend the Info Session let us know of your interest by clicking HERE or go over to frcoostburg.org and click on Reformed Rebuilders. 

NEW WAY MEAL (for Love INC) Volunteers & Food Donors Needed. We have it on good authority that there was fun, laughter and servant hearts at the New Way Meal last year that FRC coordinated so, we’re doing it again - on Thur., Feb. 20th at Calvin Christian Reformed in Sheboygan! Multiple opportunities are available from serving, to food donations to baking. Check it out HERE, please! If you have questions, give Diane Joosse a call or text at 920.627.8645.

👪PARENTS ALERT
(Yes, you get your own section this week)!

IT’S CHILDREN’S SUNDAY … on March 2nd! Kids who participate in Bible Class and/or Sunday School will lead us in worship on that morning, and they should arrive by 8:40 in the Fellowship Hall. If you know your child will not be there, please let Ms. Lori know as soon as possible. Mark it down y’all and invite your family and friends! Over the next few weeks the kids will be diligently preparing to provide us a meaningful worship experience! (aka, please try to have kids at all Bible Class and Sunday School classes, religiously, so to speak)!
