FRC Calendar

HEADLINE NEWS

Congregational Conversation Nights (and One Morning!) We’ve got some important conversations coming up about our denominational direction—and we’d really value your voice in the mix. Think of these as “come listen, learn, and let us know what you think” gatherings.

Choose one session to attend (sign-up is required):

• Sunday, April 19 | 4:00–5:30 PM

• Wednesday, April 22 | 6:30–8:00 PM

• Sunday, May 3 | 10:15–11:45 AM

These gatherings are your opportunity to hear more about where things stand, what’s being discussed, and—most importantly—to share your feedback. We’re not just talking to you… we’re listening with you.

This is your opportunity—before a recommendation is brought forward by Consistory—to let your voice be heard and help shape what comes next.

Sign up HERE or at the Welcome Center (group sizes are limited). So… start checking your calendar and pick the time that works best for you—we hope to see you at one of them!

Bee There or Bee Square! Wednesday, April 15. It’s our Wednesday Night Family Meal season finale, and you won’t want to miss it! We’ve got surprises (can you say Culver’s chicken tenders?!), smiles, and a little bit of chaos for all ages. Kids, you thought last week’s egg hunt was fun? Let’s just say… the fun continues! Bring your family, bring a friend… and don’t just eat and run! Sign up now—or you’ll bee sorry! 🐝 To view the menu and sign up click HERE or stop at the Welcome Center

The Bird is the Word… and It’s Flying North! Not sure if you heard that the bird is the word... but in light of our high schoolers international mission trip this summer, news has spread to Nicaragua - and a migration of their national bird, the MotMots - are slowly making their way to the Oostburg area and should be here in late April/early May! If you think you know someone who might like to see them show up in their yard... stay tuned for more information on how our Nicaragua team can help make that happen!

Choir Alert: Spring Break Is Over… Time to Face the Music! 🎶

We hope your March “tour break” was filled with rest, relaxation, and maybe a little off-key singing in the car. But the time has come to dust off those vocal cords and return to your regularly scheduled harmonizing!
Rehearsal resumes THIS Wednesday, April 1
New time: 6:30 PM (yes, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke

Come ready to sing, laugh, and pretend you practiced more than you actually did. We’ve missed you—and let’s be honest, things just sound better when you’re there.

See you Wednesday… don’t make us send the altos to come find you!

See You Thursday! Join us this Thursday at 6:30 PM as we remember Jesus’ last night with His disciples and experience communion together. It will be a reflective time to walk in His footsteps, hear His words, and share in the meal that reminds us of His love and sacrifice.

And, the Community Good Friday Worship Service is from 1 - 2:00 PM this Friday, hosted by Christian Reformed church.

Easter Sunday – Sunday, April 5 | 9:00 AM He is risen! Come celebrate with worship and music as we gather for Easter morning. Bring your family, friends, or even that neighbor you’ve been meaning to invite—everyone’s welcome. Let’s celebrate Easter together!

Offering & Attendance Update (a.k.a. The Snowbird Report!)

Last week’s offering totaled $24,114, with the special offering now at $2,323—thank you for your generosity!

We also had 404 in attendance… which can only mean one thing: the 2nd FRC of the Sunshine State may be closing its doors for the season. It appears our snowbirds are trading in palm trees for parkas and making their way back to the cold and wind. We’re glad

you’re back—you’ve been missed!

Special Offering – Nicaragua Trip & Team Wenig

Our March & April special offering helps send students and leaders to Tesoros de Dios in Nicaragua with missionary Nicole Opgenorth—and supports Team Wenig’s ministry as well! Mark your envelope to choose where your gift goes; unmarked gifts will be split evenly between both teams. Thanks for helping our folks go out and make a difference—near and far!

Making Room (Even in the “Tunnel”) Something exciting has quietly begun…

As we prepare for Youth Ministry large group to move from The Shed into the Fellowship Hall, the first step is already underway—in that long, tunnel-like maize behind the sanctuary!

What once felt a little like a “where does this go again?” space is getting an upgrade by none other than our very own Tyler, Tannie & Landon Holschbach. With new shelving in place, it’s becoming an organized, useful hub instead of a mystery corridor.

It may not be the spotlight space, but it’s an important one—because this is really about making room for ministry to grow and creating space for our youth right in the heart of the building. Stay tuned… this is just the beginning!
