This is a public service announcement (for our online bulletin readers)...

WE NEED A SERIOUS NAP!

After a week of late nights cheering the Brewers to a WORLD SERIES WIN, most of us need some sleep! Good news! We get an extra hour this weekend! Turn those clocks BACK Saturday night!

GREAT PASTORS. GREAT COOKIES. SHORT LINES!

It's Pastor Appreciation Sunday! Join us after worship as we celebrate Pastors Bob and Toby with coffee, cookies from those famous pink Oostburg Bakery boxes, and some good fellowship!

And apparently, you REALLY liked our two serving locations last week! So we're doing it again! Grab your coffee & cookies in either the narthex or Fellowship Hall. Less time in line, more time to visit (and thank a pastor)!

WE'RE HIRING!

With Jill VerVelde moving into our new part-time Ministry Support role, we're looking for someone to fill her shoes as FRC's part-time Financial Coordinator (20 hours/week)!

This position handles bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting and other related responsibilities. If you or someone you know might be a good fit, contact the church office for a position description. Help us spread the word! We’re a fun bunch to work with. We promise.

LIVING ON THE EDGE? THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!

You know who you are! Dinner RSVPs close TODAY (Sunday) at 2 PM! Don't miss out on Wednesday's Family Meal featuring hot ham & cheese buns, tater tots, finger Jell-O and more!

Never been to a Wednesday Night Family Meal? This is a GREAT week to give it a try! We're also packing 180 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and need LOTS of helping hands! Come for dinner, pack a box (or three!), and help us share the love of Jesus with kids around the world!

Dinner: Wednesday, Nov. 4, serving 5:00–6:30 PM. RSVP HERE, on FRC’s website or at the Welcome Center before 2 PM TODAY!

MAKING ROOM FOR MORE LITTLE ONES!

We've got a GOOD problem at FRC! More young families, more little ones, and a nursery that's getting a little crowded!

Recently, a group of young moms came to us with some great ideas for making our nursery better, safer and more welcoming for our growing families. And we're listening!

We're working on expanding our nursery space, updating toys and learning activities, improving safety and check-in procedures, and creating a Mother's Room for nursing moms!

First up? A little furniture shuffle! We've moved our conference room tables into the Library, which will now serve as a more flexible meeting space. The former conference room will become space for our older toddlers, along with a separate area for nursing moms.

So if you're wondering where something went or why things look a little different, bear with us as we make these changes!

The best part? We're making room for more young families and their little ones. THAT'S something worth celebrating! (And maybe mentioning to someone who's looking for a church home!)

THE PACKERS NEED US. DESPERATELY.

Let's face it. The Packers have been giving us whiplash this season. One week we're cheering, the next we're wondering if we should've stuck with watching the Hallmark Channel (ok, maybe this is a little over the edge)! Maybe what this team REALLY needs is a Fellowship Hall full of Cheeseheads to save the Packers from themselves! We're willing to take this on. Especially if there's food involved.

Join us Sunday, Nov. 15, at noon for our Packers Tailgate Party! We've got the BIG screen, game-day sound, plenty of food and a seat that won't cost you a dime!

And hey, this party isn't just for FRC regulars! New around here? Come join us! Got a friend or neighbor who might enjoy some football, food and fun? Bring 'em along!

The Men's Ministry guys are providing the meat, buns and chips. We'd love a few dishes to pass to round out the menu!

Coming? RSVP HERE so we know how many to feed!
Bringing a dish to pass? SIGN UP HERE

The Packers need a win. We need YOU. Let's see what happens!

From the Family of Janice Lohuis - We would like to thank our church family for the kindness, prayers and support following the passing of Janice. A special thank you to the church staff and everyone who helped prepare and serve the luncheon. Your kindness has been a blessing!

Our offering last week was $28,888. and our Sept/Oct. Special Offering has topped $6,000. Thank you!

November/December Special offering is designated for Brian & Beth Schwartz (language translation in the Philippines) and Samaritan’s Hand in Sheboygan.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING... (HERE WE GO AGAIN!)

November came with a whopping 42 usher spots to fill (5 Sundays + Thanksgiving!). Good news! We're 66.7% filled! Bad news? That leaves 14 spots. So, in this month of thanksgiving, we're asking 14 people to take one spot. Or 7 people to take two. Or 4.67 people to take three. (We're still figuring out how to recruit that .67 person.)

Come on, FRC! Help us get to 100%! Our calculator will thank you! Click HERE, go to frcoostburg.org or stop at the Welcome Center and sign up!

SNOW LOVERS. EARLY BIRDS. SAINTS. WE NEED YOU!

Looking for something fun to do at 6:30 AM on a cold December Sunday? We've got JUST the thing!We're looking for volunteers to help with Sunday morning snow removal in December. But ONLY if it snows Saturday night!

The job? Shovel and salt sidewalks around the church entrances, then take our trusty Snow Pup for a walk down the sidewalk by the parsonage.

Let's face it. Somebody's gotta make sure the rest of us can get into church without landing on our backside! And getting out of a warm bed at 6:30 AM to make that happen? We're pretty sure there's a special place in heaven for people like you.

Sign up for a Sunday (or two!) HERE, or at the Welcome Center!  And remember, no snow means you get to stay in bed for a little longer!
