HELP KIDS GROW IN FAITH AT VBS!

Vacation Bible School is one of the most joyful and faith-filled weeks of the summer, and we are excited to begin sign-ups for this year’s VBS, June 15–18 from 2:30–5:00 PM!

We invite you to be part of this amazing ministry as we share God’s love through music, games, crafts, Bible stories, and fellowship with our children. There are many opportunities to volunteer, whether you can help all week or just a day or two. You can also support VBS by donating items from our list of needs. Thank you for helping make this special week possible for our kids and families!

Volunteer sign-up will be available on the VBS website early next week as we finalize details with our partner church. Thank you for your patience — we’re excited for another wonderful year of VBS together!

VBS REGISTRATION REMINDER!

VBS registration deadline is June 1… and we’re pretty sure about 30 kids are still floating around out there without registrations. 😄

Now’s the time to get to frcoostburg.org to get your kids signed up! It will only take you 5 minutes and it will insure your kids get a t-shirt in their size!

LOCAL NEWS

WHO NEEDS A FITBIT? USHER IN JUNE!

No experience necessary. If you can smile, say “Good morning” and point toward an empty pew, you’re hired. All four weeks are still open — but we have a feeling those spots will disappear fast! Stop by the Welcome Center today or head to frcoostburg.org to schedule your Sunday morning “cardio workout” (okay… so maybe “cardio” is a little dramatic). Bonus perks include handing out bulletins, opening doors, and friendly chit chat.

Food Pantry Ministry Update

This week, 22 families — representing 75 individuals — were served through the food pantry ministry. Together, these families received $3,866.50 worth of groceries. Through generous donations and partnerships, the average value of groceries received was $175.75 per family, while FRC’s direct cost was just $14.75 per family. Attendance was likely lower this week due to the school concert.

Putt Fore Love Fundraising Event

Enjoy mini golf, prizes, and community fun in collaboration with Love INC, a ministry we partner with to  support and encourage Sheboygan County neighbors through difficult seasons of life.

June 27 | 10 AM – 6 PM

Harbor Pointe Mini Golf

Presale tickets are just $7

Can’t make it to golf? You can still support the ministry through donations - like this month’s Special Offering and by helping spread the word. Every contribution helps bring hope, practical help, and lasting transformation to struggling neighbors. LEARN MORE/SIGN UP HERE

NEWS BRIEFS

STILL NOT MOTMOTTED? 31 people remain. We don’t want to name names… but we could.

Today we welcome Emilio Reyes by Profession of Faith and Jeff & Julie Kappler by transfer from St. John Lutheran in Random Lake.

For those who enjoy a good church-family flow chart: Emilio & Linzy Reyes and their three kids have been part of FRC for years. Linzy’s parents are Jeff & Julie Kappler… who are also the parents of Whitney Nyhof of the Joel & Whitney Nyhof crew, also with three kids. At this point, we’re beginning to suspect a family pattern. 😄

75 YEARS?! That Deserves More Than A Hallmark Card!

Neil & Phyllis Vander Ploeg will celebrate their 75th Wedding Anniversary on May 25, 2026! Seventy-five years of love, faithfulness, patience, and finishing each other’s sentences — what an incredible milestone!

Please consider helping them celebrate by sending a note, a card, or sharing a favorite memory.

Address:

701 Pine Drive #111

Oostburg, WI
