WEEK OF JULY 6th

FRC NEWS

🎙️ TODAY’S HEADLINER

Super Sleuthing at Its Finest 🕵️‍♂️  With the great Kitchen Sink & Countertop Caper solved, our undercover investigative reporter (in full disguise, of course) infiltrated the top-secret Grill & Chill planning meeting — and oh boy, the scoop is sizzling! We’ll be revealing behind-the-scenes intel over the next 8 weeks, but here’s the headline: This year’s Grill & Chill is moving to Veterans Park on Wed., September 10!

Why the move? The event has two missions:

  1. FRC Family Fun – A time to connect, laugh, and launch into a new season of ministry.
  2. Reach Out & Invite – It’s the perfect chance to bring someone who might be seeking a church home — or just a place to feel welcome. A park setting is casual, open, and less intimidating for folks who may have had limited or tough church experiences in the past.

So start thinking: Who could you invite?  Veterans Park + burgers + friendly faces = the perfect formula for showing Christ’s love in a low-key, high-fun way.

Stay tuned for more juicy details!

🛠 Calling All Planners: Help Revive Reformed Rebuilders! The Deacons are ready to relaunch Reformed Rebuilders — with hopes of organizing 1–2 meaningful service projects each year (plus a few local opportunities along the way). We already have people eager to fundraise and strong connections to communities in need. But here’s the missing piece: someone gifted in planning. Not many hours involved. If you’re the kind of person who loves checklists and bringing people together for a purpose — this is your moment. We can’t launch without someone to help coordinate the logistics and make these trips happen. It’s a chance to serve others, support missions, and put faith into action in a big way. Could it be you? Or someone you know? If interested, give the office a call and we’ll connect you with the Deacons. Or email interest to plemkuil@frcoostburg.org

🎤 Worship Warm-Up: Sing Like a Sunday Pro! Want a head start on next week’s Call to Worship songs? Skip the surprise and step into Sunday like a seasoned soprano (or bold baritone). 🎶 Check out: You Are My all in All – Shane & Shane and Holy Forever – Chris Tomlin. Whether you're singing in the car, around the house, or in quiet reflection, let these songs prepare your spirit to worship the One who is worthy of it all.
