Your perspective matters.

ONE HOUR. ONE STUDENT. ONE BIG DIFFERENCE.

Kid’s Hope will be starting again shortly after the school year begins, and we’re looking for adults willing to make a difference in a child’s life in a very simple way:

1 mentor. 1 student. 1 hour a week.

There are no complicated projects, lesson plans, or special skills required. You might read together, play a game, work on homework, talk about the week—or simply spend time together.

What matters most is showing up.

The children in Kid’s Hope need a consistent, caring adult who comes each week just for them—someone who listens, encourages, notices, and reminds them that they matter. One hour a week may not sound like much, but to a child, it can mean an incredible amount.

Can’t be a mentor? You can still be part of Kid’s Hope!

Every mentor/student pair is supported by a prayer partner who regularly prays for both the mentor and child. If weekly mentoring doesn’t fit your schedule, becoming a prayer partner is another meaningful way to support the relationships being built.

Whether you can give an hour each week or the gift of faithful prayer, there’s a place for you.

Could you be that person for one child this year?

Interested in being a mentor or prayer partner—or just want to learn more? Contact Ann Daane by calling or texting (920) 980-2968, emailing adaane60@gmail.com, or simply talk to me at church. I’d love to tell you more!

COME SING WITH US!

FRC Choir kicks off Wednesday, September 16 at 7:30 p.m.!

Think choir is only for “real singers”? Think again! If you enjoy music, can carry a tune most of the time, or have ever wondered what it might be like to sing with the choir, we’d love to have you give it a try.

Choir is about much more than learning notes. We sing together, we pray together, we share a short devotion, we laugh—a lot—and yes, every once in a while, we even cry together. Somewhere along the way, we manage to learn some pretty great music, too.

No auditions. No need to be a professional musician. Just come ready to sing, learn, and have a good time with a great group of people.

New voices are always welcome—why not make this the year you give choir a try? Join us Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. We’d love to save you a chair!

LAST CALL. Gentlemen, midnight tonight is your final deadline to  sign up for the Men’s Golf Scramble. Please register at frcoostburg.org.

BEHIND THE SCENES...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been giving you a peek behind the scenes at our children’s ministries and the people who are in place and ready for fall. This week, we’re moving up an age bracket and talking Youth Ministry!

As we continue our search for a Director-Family Life Ministries, we have a plan in place for our Middle School and High School ministries.

As Toby begins flexing his time to take on some of his new responsibilities as Pastor-Connections & Worship, Justin will be taking on additional hours during this transition. He’ll be the go-to person for our students and families and will step up to lead more of the activities and day-to-day ministry.

Toby will continue to keep his pulse on Youth Ministry, providing oversight and support while we continue recruiting for our new Director of Family Life Ministries.

Bottom line: Youth Ministry is ready to roll this fall! We’re grateful for Justin and Toby—and excited for another year of helping our students grow in their relationship with Jesus and each other.

🧹 LOOK WHAT WE FOUND…

We’ve been cleaning cupboards, closets and a few who-knew-that-was-even-in-there corners of FRC—and we’ve uncovered some treasures. Or at least…stuff that needs a new home. 😄

Browse the tables in the hallway to the Fellowship Hall for extra books, Bibles, hymnals, T-shirts, sweatshirts, can koozies (everyone’s favorite, right?) and more.

See something you can use? It’s yours!

Also, greeting cards available - if you’d like to leave a donation great, but not required!.

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 in the Library 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.

🌭🎶 GRILL & CHILL IS COMING!
