THE TAYLOR FILES

The truth is in here somewhere.

As Brian and Lori Taylor prepare to retire at the end of July, we've been sharing a few memories and fun facts from their years at FRC. This week, we're highlighting one of Lori's signature ministry skills: making sure every event sounded too fun to miss.

Did you know?

Long before hashtags and branding consultants, Lori was creating memorable event names that children (and volunteers) still remember years later. Summer in His Light. Splish Splash Bible Bash. Terrific Tuesdays. Autumn Fest. Club 5/6. 🕔 High 5. Summer Surge & Serve. Bountiful Blessings Bible Class Food Bonanza. And then there was the Playground, Prayground, or Strayground—depending on who was saying it. Who could also forget the special Spring Break appearance of 🐕 Able the Dancing Chihuahua (circa 2009)?

Researchers studying Lori's ministry years have reached one firm conclusion: children learned about Jesus, parents learned how to keep those conversations going at home, and volunteers learned that every event required a catchy name. Somehow, Lori always had one ready. 😊

Statistically Speaking...

• 🍕 The Cheesy Calculation: We ordered 58 pizzas to feed our hungry VBS kids, families and volunteers this week.

• 📊 The "Don't Make Me Build a Pie Chart" Statistic: We still need 18 ushers for July (64% of our positions remain unfilled). Click HERE to help us improve this data set!

• 💰 The Generous Statistic: $2,814 is the current total for May/June Special offering to support mission work.

• 😎 The "Summer Happens" Statistic: Attendance last Sunday was 323, total offering $13,192.

• 📊 The Highly Unusual Statistic: 100% of Men's Prayer Breakfasts are held on the first Saturday of the month... except this one. Join us on July 11. RSVP HERE guys.

Our Christian sympathies to Tyler & Tannie Holschbach and family in the passing of Tyler’s step-father, Brian Jacobi on June 13.

Keep this Verse Shining VBS Kids & Parents!
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

New to First Reformed?

Maybe you've visited once. Maybe you've been attending for a year. Maybe you know where the coffee is but still aren't quite sure who all these people are.

We're putting together a casual Get Acquainted with FRC class for anyone who would like to learn more about First Reformed. We'll talk about who we are, what we believe, opportunities to get involved, and what church membership means. Most importantly, there will be plenty of time for questions.

Interested? Sign up HERE or at the Welcome Center and we'll find a day and time that works for the group.
