WE'RE IN A BIT OF A TURKEY TROT!

Our Food Vault's promised turkey delivery fell through, leaving us 20+ turkeys short for Tuesday's food giveaway! Can you help us fill the gap? We're looking for turkey breasts or whole turkeys (approx. 10 lbs.) delivered to FRC by noon Tuesday. Gobble, gobble ... and THANK YOU!

THE PACKERS NEED A WIN.
WE NEED A HEAD COUNT!

Our Packers Tailgate Party is just ONE WEEK away! Sunday, Nov. 15, at noon, we're turning the Fellowship Hall into Cheesehead Central! Big screen, game-day sound, plenty of food and a room full of fans ready to cheer (or groan) together!

The Men's Ministry guys have the meat, buns and chips covered. We just need to know how many mouths we're feeding!

COMING? RSVP HERE by MIDNIGHT SUNDAY, NOV. 8! That’s today!

🍴BRINGING A DISH TO PASS? SIGN UP HERE

Bring a friend, neighbor or fellow suffering Packers fan. No charge, no cooking required (unless you're feeling generous!), and absolutely no guarantee the Packers will cooperate!

SCRUB A DUB...

Last week we shared some exciting news: FRC is getting ready to bring our nursery back to life! With more young families and little ones joining us, it's time to dust things off, rethink our space, and create a nursery that's safe, welcoming and ready for our littlest church family members! A group of young moms brought us some great ideas, and we're putting them to work!

Plans are underway to expand our nursery space, update toys and activities, improve safety and check-in procedures, and create a Mother's Room for nursing moms. We've already started shuffling furniture and repurposing rooms, so if things look a little different around here, now you know why!

NEXT UP? BATH TIME! Before we relaunch, we're giving our nursery toys a good scrub, and we need FOUR volunteers to help tackle the job. No diapers involved, we promise!

SIGN UP HERE to join our Toy Cleaning Crew (this is just a one-time gig, roughly 2 hours or less)! Or stop at Welcome Center to sign up.

We've got little ones to welcome and toys to scrub! Let's roll up our sleeves and get this nursery back in business!

LIKE NUMBERS? LIKE PEOPLE?
WE SHOULD TALK!

We're still looking for a part-time Financial Coordinator (20 hours/week) to help keep FRC's financial ducks in a row! A little bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting and other office responsibilities. Nothing that requires a Wall Street office or a fancy briefcase!

If you're comfortable with numbers, organized, and enjoy working with people, this might be right up your alley! Contact the church office for a position description.

Not your cup of tea? Pass the word to someone whose calculator gets more exercise than yours!

THE MIC IS OPEN THIS THANKSGIVING!

One of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions is back! During our Thanksgiving worship service, we'll once again open the microphone for anyone who would like to share a word of gratitude. A blessing, an answered prayer, a way God has been faithful ... sometimes the simplest words are the most meaningful. So, as Thanksgiving approaches, give a little thought to what you might like to share. We'd love to hear it!

WHEN LIFE THROWS A CURVEBALL...

An unexpected bill. A job loss. A medical setback. Sometimes life throws a family a curveball, and suddenly putting food on the table gets a little tougher.

That's why FRC has a Food Vault! We're here to help individuals and families through those temporary rough patches when a little extra help can make a BIG difference.

Know someone who could use a hand? Please tell them about our Food Vault! Our next food pickup is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 6 PM. Sometimes the hardest part is simply asking for help. A little encouragement from YOU might be just what they need!

Note - we’re able to serve Oostburg, Hingham & Gibbsville area.

WELL, THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY!

250+ for dinner. 180 shoeboxes packed. THAT’s a church family in action!

EXTRA INCENTIVE TO SHOP LOCAL! Gibbsville Cheese donated all of the cheese for last week’s Family Meal - yup, that’s over 300 slices!

Our offering last week was $23,687. Our Special Offering this month and December is designated for Brian & Beth Schwartz (language translation in the Philippines via Wycliffe Ministries) and Samaritan’s Hand in Sheboygan.

THANK YOU, FRC! We are so grateful for the kindness and encouragement you shared with us on Pastor Appreciation Sunday. Your thoughtful cards, generous gifts, and heartfelt words meant so much. What a blessing it is to serve a church family that cares so deeply for one another. Thank you for loving and supporting us so well! — Pastor Bob, Pastor Toby &Justin

COME ON, TEAM FRC! WE NEED YOU!

We've got some volunteer spots to fill, and would really love to see a few NEW names on the list! Don't panic. We're asking you to lend a hand, not chair a committee for the next six years!

Editor Confessional (no worries, I checked—we Protestants can confess, too!): I find myself asking the same wonderful folks to help over and over, and while they're always so gracious, I'd sure love to spread the opportunities around a little!

So here's the deal. Take a look at the openings below and pick one! Otherwise, I may have to start recruiting in the Narthex & Fellowship Hall. And trust me, it's a whole lot easier if YOU pick your job before I pick one for you. It's hard to say no when I'm standing in front of you with a clipboard and a smile!
