UPCOMING EVENTS

Oostburg, WI - Time is running out to RSVP for the 175th Anniversary luncheon and events on June 1st. If you forgot to sign up — gasp! — there’s still time to save your seat (and your reputation). But only until Tuesday at midnight… after that, you risk eating leftover communion bread alone.😬.

🎉 Girls of All Ages! 🎉  It’s time to let your faith and your fun side shine ✨ Join us for the Women’s Ministry-sponsored event: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with Jesus”  🗓️ Tues., April 29th at 6:30 PM. We’re talking fun, encouragement, ice cream and—if we’re lucky—a special appearance by Toby’s infamous “Bible Murse.” Yes, it’s real. Yes, it might be on display. #BlessedAndAccessorized. RSVP HERE or at frcoostburg.org. Didn’t catch Toby’s unforgettable promo last week? No worries—check it out on YouTube and prepare your heart (and your sense of humor). Jesus, joy, and a room full of amazing gals? Count. Us. In. 💃✝️💕#SundaesAndScripture #GirlsNightWithJesus

🎉 Start the Party… and Celebrate the Good News at VBS! 🎉 Grab your party hats, your detective gear, and your dancing shoes — it’s time to get excited for VBS! 📣 Registration is OPEN at frcoostburg.org or, for all our online readers (bless your tech-savvy little hearts), just click HERE and boom—you’re in.🕵️‍♂️ Our Investigative Reporter (who may or may not have a magnifying glass and a flair for drama) has uncovered a hot lead: this party theme might just be perfect for 2025 ... aka our 175th anniversary! Coincidence? We think not. Nothing slips past our sleuths.🎈👀 Come for the fun. Stay for the snacks. Leave with the Good News!

AND, THE REST OF THE STORY

🧵 A Stitch in Time Saves… Absolutely Nothing in This Case 😄 (This headline means nothing, but you can still do something awesome!) Our Stitching for a Cause team is working their magic—turning fabric into comfort and care. Wanna help? We’re looking for donations of gently used queen or king-sized sheets (just not those slippery microfiber ones 🙅‍♀️). Drop some off at the office this week and help us surprise our Stitchers with a little sheet-stash blessing. Trust us—they’ll be sew excited. 😉

Text for Prayers … if you want to quickly let our prayer warriors know about a prayer need, the fastest way is to Text 920.564.2319. Or, you can also call the church at that same number and talk to one of the pastors!

Our Christian Sympathy is extended to Todd Ledebor, Kay & Gary Huenink, Bill & Carol Ledeboer and extended families in the passing of Muriel Ledebor last Sunday, April 6th.

Apologetics Study: That’s a Wrap! 🛑  For those who’ve been coming, going, snowbirding, or just generally chasing the sun — the Sunday evening Apologetics Study has officially concluded! Thanks to all who joined us — brains were stretched and faith was strengthened! See you in Fall for a new study!

🤔 Inquiring Minds Want to Know… Were the 12 Disciples picked like a reality show?  “Peter, you’ve been called to follow. Pack your nets!” 🎣Free Books Alert! 📚 We’ve got 5 extra study books titled The Twelve Disciples—the perfect bite-sized guide to get the most out of the original dozen. Great for personal study. Grab one from the Welcome Center before they’re gone—no casting call required! 🙌
