🩳NEWS BRIEFS
Congratulations to Brandon & Wendy Hoffmann on the birth of a son, Colton Glen on Oct. 14th.
With sincere thanks - FRC, thank you for the cards, phone calls, texts, prayers for Don and our family since the accident. We are so thankful for your thoughtfulness. Please keep praying as Don will have a long recovery. And to those gentlemen that stepped in to assist on the “container project” in Don’s absence, thank you! - LuAnn Teunnissen. Our Investigative Reporter was curious about the “container project”. We found Don had committed to a project that was in-process when he had the accident. But these gentlemen answered the call to help in just 48 hours notice! Thank you to #TeamJameyBradKentBrianKevinGageGriffinJonah. You guys are rock stars with servant hearts!
Oostburg Area Reformation Service is coming up - it’s 6PM on Sun., Oct. 27th at First Presbyterian-Oostburg. Special Guest speaker is Pastor Josh Scheid and bonus alert: refreshments will be served after the service. The offering this year will go to Anchors of Hope in Sheboygan.
🪡🧵FRC’s Stitching With A Cause would like to thank the anonymous donor for the $250 donation to help our quilting projects! The generous gift helped us purchase more batting. We have made and donated over 150 quilts through the years for those in need in the Sheboygan, Milwaukee and the Chicago area!
Attendance last week was 343 and the offering was $16,810. We need an average weekly giving of $19,135 to meet our budgetary commitments. The October Mission of the Month offering is designated for Tara Meke and her ministry with Beyond Borders. Month-to-date donations for Tara total $715.
This month’s special offering is designated to Tara Meke and her ministry with Beyond Borders, a non-profit that supports refugees and displaced children & adults with educational programs. The Deacons thank you in advance for your generosity to this and all monthly special offerings.

PRAYER CARE & UPDATES
Prayer Warriors - your work is ramping up this week. We’ve now got two FRC’ers at Froedtert. Jeff Brusse sustained multiple injuries after a significant fall from a roof last week. He’s had multiple surgeries including the repair of his elbow this past week. And, also continuing his extensive healing journey at Froedtert is Don Teunissen. We need to rally in prayer for Don as he still needs to regain an appetite so he strengthens his body to aid in healing and stay free of infections. And his journey of recovery is anticipated to be lengthy - let’s pray God gives him some peace, joy & patience in this season of his life. Let’s pray for emotional strength for both Jeff & Don’s family members as well 🙏.
Carol Hengst is about to get a new skip in her step after her hip replacement that is scheduled for Tuesday! Let’s pray for the surgery, her recovery and post-surgery therapy! And, Glen Wynveen is beginning a 6 week regiment of radiation treatments on Tue. Pray for strength and that his body reacts favorably as he begins this journey of 5-day a week treatments. Also remember our other FRC’ers in various stages of cancer treatment - Suzie Brusse (PTL that her scan looked GREAT!), Bev Gabrielse (in recovery from a chemo dose), Terri Mentink (receiving a maintenance chemo this upcoming week), and Mary Rauwerdink & Jean Kohls who receive ongoing treatments. Pray especially that all of these individuals will experience minimal side effects.
Finally, please continue prayers for Paige Ludens (extensive kidney testing), Rita Harmeling (broken leg) and Wendell Hoffmann (wound care) and that God will bring healing to each individual.
This week we’ll focus prayers for Chaplain Jim Hildebrandt at the Sheboygan County Detention Center. Jim expressed his appreciation for our faithful and diverse support of his work. He has submitted the following prayer requests: Ask God to prepare the hearts of inmates to be receptive to the Good News of His Kingdom; and to overturn the cycle of darkness and despair in the lives of inmates, their families and staff. Also, we’re praising and thanking God for several inmates who have recently become “fully persuaded” that the Gospel is true and have begun to follow Jesus for the first time; for a successful golf outing fund raising event at Pine Hills golf club; and for the faithful team of volunteers who actively support and nurture the spiritual needs of inmates, their families and staff!
