🌭🎶 GRILL & CHILL IS COMING!

Wed., September 9 • 5–7 PM • Veteran’s Park

Good food. Live music. Inflatables and games. And plenty of time to catch up with friends and meet someone new.

Grill & Chill is a great night to invite someone. Think of a neighbor, coworker, friend or family from school—especially someone who isn’t connected to a church. The invitation can be as simple as, “Hey, our church is having Grill & Chill. It’s free and fun—want to come with us?”

Who could you bring along this year?

HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!

It takes lots of helping hands to welcome our church and community! Donate food or sign up to serve with games, setup, cleanup or wherever help is needed.

Invite someone. Pitch in. Then come enjoy the night together! 🍔🎶🎈

A Par-fect Excuse for a Day on the Course ⛳

Guys: If you’d like the Editor to stop with the golf puns, then stop puttering around and sign up for the Men’s Golf Scramble at Autumn Ridge.

Word on the street is Daane is looking for a ringer. You heard it here first.

Meanwhile, Wynveen won’t stand for it and needs two guys to complete his team and make a run at the cup.

And DePagter, last year’s champ? Nowhere to be found on the sign-up. Suspicious.

The drama unfolds September 12. Sign up at frcoostburg.org by September 6 before the Editor is forced to make another golf pun.

Pizza. Games. Jesus. HOGG.

All area high schoolers are invited to the HOGG Kick-off!

Aug. 26 | 7–9 PM | Gibbsville Church

DONUTS, COFFEE & THE LOWDOWN

New to FRC? New-ish to FRC? Or maybe you’ve been around for quite a while but still wonder about a few things?

Join us right after the service on Sept. 13 for donuts, coffee and juice—and the lowdown on FRC. We’ll have a few friendly faces ready to welcome you, give you a quick introduction to FRC, and answer whatever questions you have. It’ll be short, casual and easy. No commitment, no sign-up for anything, and definitely no pop quiz.

Just grab a donut, pull up a chair, and get the lowdown.

YOUR SATURDAY MORNING NEEDS BACON 🥓

The Breakfast & Brotherhood Sign-Up Genius is getting a little concerned. It even showered and put on deodorant. Still… so lonely. 😢

Join us for the next Men’s Prayer Breakfast on Sat., Sept 5th | 6 AM (yes, that time exists on Saturdays) at Judi’s. Sign up on frcoostburg.org or at the Welcome Center.

BEHIND THE SCENES...

Over the next few weeks, we’re giving you a peek behind the scenes at our children’s ministries and the people who are already in place and ready for another great year. Last week, we shared what’s happening with Bible Class (check out last week’s bulletin online if you missed it!), and this week we’re highlighting two more ministries that are ready to go.

House of Praise (HOP) and Children’s Sunday School (3 years–5th grade) have a strong foundation of dedicated volunteers who faithfully return year after year to teach, lead, and invest in our kids.

Their commitment and consistency keep these ministries strong and give our kids a place to learn about Jesus and grow in their faith. HOP and Children’s Sunday School are ready for another great year!

Last week’s attendance: 296 and offering $10,815.

July/August Special offering to-date total: $3,859.

Special Offering Designees:

• July / August: Bob Abel (Remember Nhu) & Ben Johnson (Serge in Thailand)
• Sept / October: Operation Christmas Child & Kelsey Corpas (World Team, Madrid)

Bag It for the Food Vault

The Food Vault is in need of grocery bags! Sturdy paper bags with handles are our favorite (Festival Foods bags are especially good), but we’ll also happily take those reusable cloth-ish bags that seem to multiply in everyone’s closets.

So before you toss that next bag, give it a quick inspection. Good handles? Still sturdy?

Congratulations—you’ve just become a grocery bag connoisseur. If it passes the test, bring it to church. The Food Vault will put it to good use!

WHO DO YOU SEE?

Elder & Deacon nominations are coming.

What should you look for?

Someone who demonstrates…

• Christlike character
• Spiritual maturity
• Wisdom & integrity
• Care for people
• A servant’s heart

Your nomination simply says: I see something in this person that I believe our church should prayerfully consider.

This week: Pray. Look around. Who do you see?
