SO, YOU'VE BEEN COMING TO FRC. NOW WHAT?

Whether you've been here a few months or a few years, there's an opportunity to dig a little deeper into what we believe, why it matters, and how faith shapes our lives.

Introducing NEXT.

A new five-week experience on Sunday morning after worship beginning January 2027.

More details coming in December!

EAT ICE CREAM. FEED PEOPLE.

Well, this is a fundraiser we can get behind!

Our friends at Oostburg Culver's are donating $1 to FRC's Food Vault for every Concrete Mixer sold November 16–20!

And here's a little fundraising math for you: Buy one Concrete Mixer, we get $1. Buy TWO, we get $2. See where we're going with this?

So grab the family, call a friend, or just admit you could eat two. No judgment here.

Concretes for a Cause. November 16–20.

Doing good never tasted so good!

Annual Congregational Meeting – December 6

We know. The words “Annual Congregational Meeting” don't exactly get your heart racing. But hang with us! We'll elect new Elders and Deacons, take a look at the 2027 budget, and (here's the good stuff!) get a peek at what's ahead for FRC in 2027.

Join us Sunday, December 6, immediately after worship (approximately 10 AM). It's your church family, and we'd love to have you part of the conversation!

Sunday School teachers: We'll share a plan next week so as many of you as possible can attend, too.

245?! Who's Counting? (Apparently, We Are!)

Last month's Family Meal brought 245 hungry people through our doors. TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE! We're still recovering from counting that high.

So, naturally, we're doing it again! Join us Wednesday, December 2, from 5:00–6:30 PM for a good, traditional holiday roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, fruit, and all the fixings. And for dessert? Angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Oh, my! Save Your Seat – RSVP HERE, at frcoostburg.org or the Welcome Center!

Great food, great company, and not a dirty dish to take home. What's not to love?

THE USHERS HAVE SPOKEN. YOUR MOVE, TEAM FRC!

Last week, we put out the call for some help filling our volunteer openings. And WOW, did you respond!

A HUGE shout-out to our November Ushers, who are officially at 100%! Every. Single. Spot. FILLED! Not to stir up a little friendly competition, but ... the ushers are looking pretty smug right now.

And the rest of you? You're doing GREAT! Cookie bakers are busy, nursery cleaning is 75% filled, December Family Meal volunteers are at 77%, and Snow Patrol is halfway there!!

We're down to just SEVEN open spots! Who's going to be the next team to cross the finish line? Stop by the Welcome Center or online readers, click on the links.

• RUB-A-DUB CREW: Just 1 more toy cleaner needed!  SIGN UP HERE
• DINNER DYNAMOS: Just 5 more helpers for our December 2 Family Meal! SIGN UP HERE
• SNOW PATROL: Just 1 more brave soul to tackle December's snow at the entrances! SIGN UP HERE

Seriously, THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up. It's pretty amazing what happens when a church family pitches in! Now, who's going to knock those ushers off their high horse?!

Our offering last week was $28,075. Our Special Offering this month and December is designated for Brian & Beth Schwartz (language translation in the Philippines via Wycliffe Ministries) and Samaritan’s Hand in Sheboygan. To-date the offering totals $465.

Thank you for the cards, phone calls, prayers and words of encouragement during our recent health issues - Jack & Jean Kohls

Sometimes, a Little Help Makes a Big Difference

This past Tuesday, three new families came to our Food Vault. Three families facing some unexpected challenges. And we're being reminded that sometimes the very reason God has placed this ministry here is to help people through a rough patch. Maybe it's a few months. Maybe it's longer. Whatever the circumstances, we're grateful we can be here when they need us.

And can we just say WOW?! The response to our request for turkeys was incredible! Your generosity continues to blow us away. You're reminding families that they're not walking through difficult times alone.

Now, with Christmas approaching, we'd love to add a few extra-special items to our December 8 Food Vault pickup. Because even when life is hard, Christmas should still feel like Christmas.

Want to help make that happen? We've put together a sign-up for a few special holiday food items. A little joy for the season. And one more way to share Christ's love with our neighbors.

Sign Up HERE to share a little Christmas joy.

A Little Turkey, a Lot of Thankfulness!

Before the turkey, the stuffing, and the inevitable food coma, come spend a little time giving thanks with your church family!

Our 9 AM Thanksgiving Day service is one of those special FRC traditions that warms your heart. We'll sing, worship, and open the microphone for anyone who'd like to share a blessing or a little story of God's faithfulness. Some years we laugh. Some years we get a little teary-eyed. Every year, we're reminded just how good God is.

Got family in town? Bring 'em along! It's a wonderful way to start Thanksgiving Day together. The offering this day will be designated to FRC’s Food Vault.
