🌭🎶 GRILL & CHILL IS COMING!

You know the food will be good. You know there’ll be music, games, kids everywhere and plenty of people to catch up with.

But here’s the part we don’t want to forget:

Grill & Chill is a GREAT night to invite someone. A neighbor. A coworker. A friend. A family from school. Someone who isn’t connected to a church—or maybe hasn’t been for a long time.

There’s nothing complicated about the invitation. Just:

“Hey, our church is having Grill & Chill. It’s free, it’s fun…want to come with us?”

That’s it. 😊

So as we get closer, think of one person or family you could invite—and then ask them!

📅 Wed., Setember 9 • 5–7 PM

📍 Veteran’s Park

🌭 Free food • 🎵 Live music • 🎈 Inflatables & games •

🛝 Fun for the kids

Who could you bring along this year?

🙌 OK, CHURCH FAMILY—LET’S MAKE GRILL & CHILL HAPPEN!

We’re inviting our friends, neighbors and coworkers to Grill & Chill—and now we need lots of helping hands to make sure we’re ready to welcome them!

The good news? Nobody has to do a ton when lots of us do a little. There are two ways to jump in:

Invite someone. Help make it happen. Then come ready for a fun night together. 🌭🎶🎈 Thanks for jumping in!

The Recount Is In!

We counted. We recounted. And…yep, still 99.7% YES! We’re pretty sure we can put the calculators away now...

With 331 ballots cast, we thank God for the remarkable unity shown as FRC moves from the RCA to the Kingdom Network.

Behind the Scenes...

Over the next few weeks, we’ll give you a peek behind the scenes at what’s taking shape for fall—and introduce some of the people helping lead the way.

There’s plenty happening with Bible Class, and we’re excited about what’s coming together.

Our Wednesday night ministry for 1st–5th graders has a full team of teachers ready to go, and Caryn Daane is stepping in to lead the way. She’ll be leading large-group time and praise and worship—and if the ideas she’s already bringing to the table are any indication, our kids have a great year ahead as they learn together, worship together, and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Please Pray With Us

As we shared last Sunday, we’re entering a new season with our staff team at FRC, and we’d love for you to be praying with us along the way.

For Toby as he steps into his expanded role as Pastor of Connections & Worship, helping people find meaningful ways to connect, grow, and serve at FRC.

For our Family Life Ministries search as we partner with Chemistry Staffing to find the person God is preparing to lead our children’s, youth, and family ministries.

For our entire staff team as we navigate these changes together and continue working toward our mission of being a place where hearts are transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.

We’re grateful for your prayers and excited about what God has ahead for FRC.
