🎙️ TODAY’S HEADLINERS

🚀 HOUSTON, WE HAVE A NOMINATION SITUATION.  Current count: 14 forms. Needed: way more than that if we’re going to help the Editor avoid a dramatic “spreadsheet meltdown”. 🫠 Countdown to nomination deadline? T- 5 days.

Here’s the mission: Every Communicant Member age 18 or older—yes, that means brand-new members, seasoned saints, young adults, and everyone in between—is asked to submit a nomination for our 2026 Elders & Deacons. Your feedback matters more than you think.

📝 How to nominate: complete the form in today’s bulletin. If you can’t think of 4 names, it’s ok to do less. Place the form in the silver ballot box on the Welcome Center countertop before you leave! Or head to frcoostburg.org and click on the 2026 Nominations Link. Deadline Friday, Aug 22. Let’s fill that ballot box, church!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD IS BACK!

Last year we set a goal of 150 shoeboxes — and you reached it! So this year, we’re aiming even higher: 175 boxes packed with love, joy, and the good news of Jesus. Here are three ways you can be part of it:

1. Donate Toward Bulk Gifts – Help us purchase gifts that will be used at our big Box-Packing Party in November. Just click HERE to see the gifts and donate! Your gift purchases can be dropped off in the Office (or shipped directly to us if you would like).
2. Give to the Special Offering – Help us cover the $10 shipping cost per box by giving to the August/September special offering, or
3. Pack a Shoebox – Want to shop and pack your own box? Go for it! Labels are at the Operation Christmas Child display in the Narthex.

Save the Date: Our 2nd Annual Box-Packing Party is happening on Wed., Nov. 5, during one of our Wednesday night family meals. It’s a fun night to pack, serve, and celebrate together! Let’s come together again this year and send the love of Christ — one shoebox at a time! 

🍦🗞️SUNDAY SCOOPS

GRILL & CHILL — Have you invited someone yet?  Last Sunday’s Great Seat Shake-Up was a hit—and now, with our newfound appreciation for what it feels like to be the “new person” in a different pew neighborhood, we’re even more ready to roll out the welcome at the Grill & Chill on Wed., Sept 10. Inviting someone could be that little nudge they need to come out and fellowship. And we know you’ll deliver on making their experience incredibly welcoming!  There are more invites on the high-top tables in the Narthex. Let’s put those fresh visitor-friendly skills to use and plant some seeds! 🌱❤️#MoreInvitesOnNarthexTables #BringYourOwnLawnChair

LET’S CRUSH IT CHURCH. The Grill & Chill sign-ups are so close to filled. Of the 66 menu items needed, we need just 20 more. It might not be glamorous but we do need to lock in on fruit donations (Click HERE). “You cantaloupe alone” – help feed the crowd (no, we don’t know where that came from…).  And, not to be upstaged by fruit, as of last week we needed a total of 35 more servant hearts to make Grill & Chill a success. We’ve locked in 19. That’s 54%! We just need 16 more. Can we count on you to click HERE? 

Lose a pink kids bag at the Oostburg Public Library? Found in the front pocket was a July 20 FRC bulletin. Our Special Investigative Reporter now suspects the bag was left by an FRC’er. Nothing gets past us. Absolutely nothing. Go to the Public Library to claim!

Any guesses what’s going in its place? #NoMoreLeaks #ItsNotADriveThru #WaitForIt
