🩳 NEWS BRIEFS

☑️ A HUGE THANK YOU!  As a staff we want to thank FRC for your love and support throughout the year and your special kindness during Pastor’s Appreciation month. It is such a blessing to serve alongside you as servants of Christ!

☑️🤲The NOVEMBER special offering is designated for our Remember Nhu, KE24 Home (where the children are personally sponsored by many of our FRC’ers). KE24 home has two specific needs - they are in a situation that is requiring them to move and resulting in various expenses; and, they would like to see each girl receive a Christmas gift. If you would be in a position to help, the Deacon’s would appreciate seeing your support to KE24 in November..

☑️ Hey 5th Graders! Baking & Games Nite TONIGHT at 6 PM! We’re excited to combine a service project with a fun night of making connections and building relationships! 🍪🎉
