🎙️ TODAY’S HEADLINERS

⛳🏌️ ATTENTION MEN! FINAL DAY to register for the Men’s Golf Scramble (Sept 6)! Don’t wait—registration closes TONIGHT, Aug 31. Miss it, and you’ll be forced to spend Sept 6 mowing your lawn instead of sinking birdies. 🥲 Grab a 4-some and sign up. Fee covers green fees, cart, lunch, and prizes. Tee time is 7 AM S H A R P!  👉 Click HERE before midnight— tomorrow the fairway is closed, if you know what we mean… 

🔥 GRILL & CHILL — Wednesday, Sept. 10 (5–7 PM) 🔥It’s time to invite a friend who’s never been to church! Good food, music, and relaxed fun are just the start—God can use a simple invitation to spark connections —connections with others, and with Him. Don’t forget: Bring your own lawn chair 🪑If it rains, we’ll move to Oostburg Elementary, keeping the games, inflatables, food, and fellowship going! 🚪☔ Grab a few invites from the high-top tables in the Narthex and hand them out. 

🆘RALLY TIME! We almost had all Grill & Chill volunteer spots filled—then came a request for a few extra hands needed for kids’ games. Who could resist helping little ones win cute prizes? Shifts are just 45 minutes. We have roles for adults and Middle/High School students. With Grill & Chill in 1.5 weeks, we’re really hoping you’ll take a peek at the needs by clicking HERE, going to frcoostburg.org or stopping at the Welcome Center and help us fill these spots for our cutest FRC’ers🐑?

DEAL OF THE WEEK…let’s get those Operation Christmas Child gifts purchased while school supplies are on sale! We have a great start on all the items and would love your shopping support so we can unpackage, sort down and be ready for the big box packing on November 5th. Listing of all gift items HERE. And remember, the office is happy to purchase for you if you’d prefer. These items are still a steal at Meijer! 

• Crayola crayons (24 pack) still .50 cents at Meijer (17 still needed)
• Crayola markers (10 pack) still $1.00 at Meijer (39 still needed) 

🎒📔BACK-TO-SCHOOL can be a stressful season—especially for families facing financial difficulties. If you know of a family who may struggle to purchase school supplies this year, please let any Deacon or Staff know. So far we’ve purchased supplies for one local family so their children are ready and equipped. If you know of any other families that could quietly use a little assistance, please reach out to any Deacon or call the Church Office.

🍦🗞️SUNDAY SCOOPS 

🚧⚠️HAZARDOUS WARNING: Without 10 more ushers in September, worshipers may be left wandering aimlessly and forming conga lines in the aisles 💃🕺… Help. Please! Get signed up HERE or at the Welcome Center!

🍲SOUP’S ON! How about spending your Friday evening, Sept. 26th with the Acts 29 leadership as they seek to raise funds to attend a young adults faith leadership conference in January. Invite your friends and stop on by for Chili, Chicken Soup, Bread and bars anytime between 4:30 -6:30 PM.  Mark those calendars!

CHILDREN’S & YOUTH LEADERS – This is for you! We’re getting together Sunday, Sept 14 at 5:30 PM in the sanctuary for a leader's training. No homework (or pop quizzes, we hope…) – but a chance for us to talk about the upcoming year, swap some ideas, get encouraged and laugh a little! Looking forward to reconnecting!

📢SOUNDBITES  

☑️Our FRC friends, Ron & Judy Joosse, have taken new residence at Pine Haven, Oostburg in room #128 where they can be pampered, have their own chef, and enjoy lots of fellowship … how do we get in on this plan - do they offer an early bird special? 😄

☑️Special Offering month-to-date is about to top $4,200! FRC, you rock! We’re not sure but we think the Operation Christmas Child team was dancing down the hallways…not OSHA approved but highly entertaining. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting behind these two ministries - Op Christmas Child and local Kelsey (Tebeest) Corpas with World Team in Madrid, Spain. Remember that to designate your gift, note it on your envelope or in the check note; otherwise, it will be split between the two. 

☑️ Reminder: The Consistory recently updated FRC’s Beliefs & Core Values. Take a look HERE or pick up a copy at the Welcome Center.
