🤝🎤Let’s Make a Deal ya’ all. The challenge is on for you to make a slight tweak to your Sunday morning “routine” and redirect to the North Fellowship Hall (after grabbing your morning brew) and in return we’ll provide you an opportunity to grow in your faith! Beginning TODAY, come learn more about prayer at the adult study class. Prayer is our direct line to God—our way to seek His presence, find peace, and grow in faith. Yet, many of us feel like we could be better at it. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone! We’re diving into a study on prayer—what it is, why it matters, and how we can deepen our connection with God through it. We’ll explore, learn, and even practice together (but don’t worry—no one will be put on the spot or forced to pray out loud).
And the Survey Says ... Family Feud at FRC? Our Special Investigative Reporter may have been super sleuthing, again, and we think we've uncovered a game of Bible Family Feud brewing for our June 1st 175th Anniversary event. We wonder what families will be competing? If you want to be part of the studio audience, just watch for the 175th Event Registration coming to you in just a few weeks!
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? … Not this week. Thankfully, we exhausted our game show lingo above...
Special Offering Recipients for March & April timeframe are Kyle & Jayne Wenig with Athletes In Action and Bob Abel with Remember Nhu. We heard from each of these partners at our March 9th service. What amazing work is happening for God’s Kingdom! If you’d be willing to help support either or both of these mission’s partners, the Deacons would appreciate your help. If you have a preference as to where your dollars go, please write it on your envelope. Undesignated donations will be split between the two partners.

The answer to last week’s trivia (the name of the kids music group that did the Splash Kingdom musical) is: Kidz in Motion! FRC has always had a strong commitment to missions. This week we show you a picture of the 100th Anniversary of the Women’s Missions Circle taken in August 1984. Question: Can you figure out which member pictured continues in the Missions Circle today (40 years later)??

Let’s start by praying for our two FRC’ers most recently diagnosed with cancer - Sue Hartmann, who is awaiting a treatment plan; and Dave Huibregtse who is having surgery on March 27th. Let’s also pray up Suzie Brusse who will have a CT scan this week - pray for positive results and for peace and patience as she awaits the results.
Those recovering at home and in many cases continuing outpatient therapy include: Jeff Brusse, Tim Kildea, Sally Mentink, Don Teunissen and Henry Teunissen who’s new to our list and is recovering from a blood infection. And pray as John Fischer receives rehabilitative care at Sunnyridge, and is anticipating a 3-4 week stay.
This week’s mission partner focus is for J & A in the Middle East. They have submitted the following prayer requests: Pray for J as he steps up a bit in his tech team to lead and mentor some new junior teammates that joined them in the past year. Pray that J would be able to balance the load well and help him as he works with his team leader in planning an in-person gathering for their team later this spring. Pray for A as she is in a time of discerning what is next for her in terms of team and leadership (due to the blacklisting of team members in August). Pray that she would hear God's voice clearly as far as what He is calling her to do next. March 1 started the Islamic month of Ramadan. Muslims are fasting from sunrise to sunset everyday this month. It is a time where they believe it is easier to hear God, so there is a lot of spiritual seeking. Pray that the Spirit that speaks to them would be the Holy Spirit leading them to the Light.
