An Update on Our FRC Staff

We have a few staff updates to share as we continue making some changes to support the ministries of FRC!

Pastor Toby Thomack has begun transitioning into his new role as Pastor of Connections & Worship. While he's already taking on responsibilities in this new area, he's also continuing to oversee our family ministries until we're able to hire our next Director of Family Life Ministries. That search is ongoing, and we're committed to finding the right person to lead our children's, youth, and family ministries. As Toby transitions into his new role, he'll be focusing more intentionally on worship and helping people connect and get involved in the life of our church.

We're also excited to share that Jill VerVelde will be moving into our part-time Ministry Support position! Jill has served FRC so well as our Financial Coordinator, and we're grateful for the care and dedication she's brought to that role. Her knowledge of FRC and its ministries will serve her well in this new position, and we're glad to have her continuing on our staff team!

That means we have another position to fill! We're now looking for a part-time Financial Coordinator (20 hours per week) to handle bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, and other related responsibilities. If you or someone you know might be interested, please contact the church office for a position description.

As we navigate these transitions, we're grateful for your continued prayers for our staff, our ministries, and the people God is preparing to serve alongside us!

LAST CALL FOR CHRISTMAS GREENS!

TODAY, Sunday, Oct. 25, is the deadline to turn in your H.O.G. Holiday Decorations Fundraiser orders to the church! Orders will be delivered to FRC on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Questions? Contact Justin at 920-980-2431 or joliver@frcoostburg.org.

GOT YOUR OCC GIFTS DROPPED OFF YET?

T-minus 3 days! Please drop off your Operation Christmas Child shoebox purchases at church so we have time to sort and organize everything before our Shoebox Packing Party on Nov. 4th!

HOT HAM & CHEESE MEETS 180 SHOEBOXES!

Wednesday, Nov. 4, is going to be a FUN night at FRC! We're combining our Wednesday Night Family Meal with our Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Packing Party!

We've got 180 shoeboxes to pack, and we need ALL ages to help! Kids, teens, parents, grandparents—EVERYONE! It only takes a few minutes to pack a box, but that little box can make a BIG difference in a child's life as we share the love of Jesus around the world. So grab a box (or two or three!) and get packing!

Dinner will be served from 5:00–6:30 PM, featuring a kid-friendly menu of hot ham & cheese buns, tater tots, finger Jell-O, pickles, coleslaw and frosted sugar cookies! Eat first or pack first—whatever works for your family before heading off to Bible Class, Youth Group and/or Life Groups.

Help us plan! Please RSVP for dinner HERE.

180 boxes. Let's fill every single one!

LAMBEAU FIELD, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

We've got screens, BIG sound, plenty of food and the best part? You won't have to mortgage the house to get a seat!

Join us Sunday, Nov. 15, at noon for our Packers Tailgate Party in the Fellowship Hall!

And hey, this isn't just for FRC members! New to FRC? Checking us out? We'd love to have you! And if you know someone who doesn't have a church home, invite them along!

The Men's Ministry guys are providing the meat, buns and chips, and we'd love some help rounding out the menu with a few dishes to pass.

Here's where you come in!

Coming to the party? RSVP HERE or on frcooostburg.org so we know how many to plan for!

Cheeseheads welcome. Lambeau Leaps? Let’s not get carried away...

Our Food Vault ministry served another new family this month. Please continue to pray for those facing urgent, short-term needs and for the opportunities God gives us to minister to them through the Food Vault. Also thanks to both Gibbsville Church and the local Boy Scouts, we were the recipients in Oct. of well over 600 lbs of food!

A SPECIAL GUEST & A SWEET CELEBRATION!

We're excited to welcome Pastor Dave Izenbart, President of the Kingdom Network to FRC! We're thankful to be part of the Kingdom Network family, and what better way to celebrate than with some homemade treats from our very own Cupcake Queen, Rogene Dulmes! Treats in TWO locations (Lobby area & Fellowship Hall)! Because nobody wants a traffic jam when cupcakes are involved...

AND WHILE WE HAVE PASTOR DAVE IN TOWN…

We're putting him to work! Pastor Dave Izenbart will be preaching at tonight's Community Reformation Day Service at 6 PM, right here at FRC! We'd love to see you there!

PASTOR APPRECIATION SUNDAY – NOV. 1!
‍We've got a couple of pretty great pastors, and we're not above using cookies to prove it!

🎶 CHOIR PRACTICE CANCELLED! There will be no Choir Practice this week. We can assure you this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Game 5 of the World Series. Nothing. Nada. Not a thing.

Last Week’s Offering: $21,727 and the special offering for Sept/Oct. is currently at $5,345! Wow! Thank you FRC.

Did you miss our All-Church email this week? If so, let the office know and we’ll add you. Just email Peg at plemkuil@frcoostburg.org

I'VE DONE THE MATH. AND I'M STARTING TO GET NERVOUS!

• 42 usher positions to fill in November.
• 17 filled. (Thank you!)
• 25 still empty. (Uh-oh.)
• 375 people in worship every Sunday.

According to my highly sophisticated calculations, we need just 6.67% of you to temporarily part ways with your favorite pew and help!

And with deer hunting season coming, some of our regular ushers will be trading their Sunday best for blaze orange.

Men, women, students ... if you can smile, say good morning, and hand someone a bulletin, you're qualified!

25 spots. 375 people. Surely we can do this! 😁
