📰 LOCAL NEWS

🔥Alert - Two of our Pastors are out “on assignment” today (we know, it’s big when the “news desk” has deployed multiple “correspondents”) so there will be no Sermon Discussion class (but there’s cookies…), the Chosen Small Group will not meet (but there’s cookies…) nor will the Between Two Trees Sunday evening bible study meet (there’s always Culvers…).

Bowling Bashers – TODAY is the day! 🎳 Get ready to roll some strikes and have a blast at Lakeshore Lanes at 2 PM (maybe come a little early so we can get organized)! 💵Paying is easy! You can Venmo @Frc-Uth, bring cash (Ms. Lori’s our roving Cashier🧾), or swing by the office next week. Spectators are welcome!

GENTLEMEN - we are looking for one additional person to help in the kitchen for next week Thursday’s Women’s Event. Just need one additional kitchen worker from 5:00 - 6:30 PM on Nov. 14 … there are two other women volunteering that can tell you exactly what to do! Let’s get this slot filled so the women in our faith family can enjoy the inspirational evening. Sign-up HERE, at the Welcome Center or call/email the church office. 

LADIES - registrations are still coming in for the Finding Rest in the Chaos event next Thursday. Dive into a calming message with singer/songwriter Laura Story, enjoy some laughter, and treat yourself to a caramel apple bar! 🍏🍎! When: Thur., Nov. 14 @ 6:30 PM. Register Now (or at the Welcome Center).

KIDS (we saved the best for last) - YOU have a cool opportunity. If you play an instrument, we’d love for you to play a number during the prelude for the Children’s Christmas Service on Sunday morning, Dec. 22. Music is an incredible gift from God and our faith family loves to hear you worship through music! Contact Ms. Lori to sign-up!

🩳 NEWS BRIEFS

☑️ EXPECT DELAYS in posting the Nov. 17th bulletin online. Our crew won’t be able to build the bulletin until at least Fri., Nov. 15th. So it will post either Fri. night or Sat. next week. All of FRC’s news can be found at frcoostburg.org. For the online bulletin click the News tab.

☑️ Going, Going Gone! Remember those adorable child-sized wooden chairs we mentioned last week? You did read the Bulletin, right? 😉 There’s still a handful left hanging out in the Coat Room, and they’re practically begging for a new home! Here’s the deal: Sand ‘em, paint ‘em in wild, crazy colors, and—boom!—you’re now the proud owner of garden art that’ll have your friends calling you a Master Gardener. 🌻🌿Don’t let these chairs slip away—pick one up TODAY and start your DIY garden transformation! 💪🎨

☑️ Ah, to be in Fifth Grade Again: 5th graders, you are definitely going to wanna save the date for the next High Five on Friday December 13th. More details to come! Hint: 🌟💡🍟🍔

☑️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 would like to provide Christmas gifts for all the girls and defray unexpected moving/relocation type costs. Month-to-date you’ve donated $420.

☑️The next Community Food Pick-Up is Tue., Nov. 12 at 6 PM. If you know of families in the Oostburg, Gibbsville and/or Hingham area that could use a bit of extra help please reach out to Lori at ltaylor@frcoostburg.org.

☑️Men’s Prayer Breakfast is coming up on Sat., Dec. 7 at 6:00 AM at Judi’s Place. All men are welcome. Sign up on frcoostburg.org is encouraged but not a necessity.

☑️🥁Drum Roll Please…Attendance last week surpassed the 400 mark (403 to be precise) and giving was $19,826! The goal-seeking statistician’s among us wonder, is it an unreasonable goal to pass the 400 attendance mark two consecutive weeks in a row? We think not. Who knows what celebration will happen if we do… the Choir will dance down the aisles the next time they sing? Or, maybe Toby will keep his sermon’s under 45 minutes…?

☑️Head’s Up Eernisse Circle! Your Christmas party is Tue., Dec. 3rd at, wait for it, Judi’s! You’ll be ordering off the menu and return to FRC after lunch for devotionals, games and, wait for it…dessert! See you at Noon on Dec. 3.
