Pssst… God’s Hiring

‍ You don’t have to do everything — just something. And who knows? The thing you try once might become the thing you love most!

We currently have lots of opportunities to jump in, lend a hand, and maybe even discover hidden talents you never knew you had. (Yes, even you introverts. We see you.)

Online readers can simply click the underlined links. Bulletin readers, you have two options:

• Head to www.frcoostburg.org and check the home page, OR
• Stop by the Welcome Center where they will happily put you to work!

Current Openings in God’s Help Wanted Department:

• Cookies for Sunday Morning Fellowship — because ministry runs on grace… and chocolate chips.
• VBS Donations — help fuel the chaos joy of one of the best weeks of the summer.
• VBS Helpers — check out the array of help needed…it’s not always what you assume! (Not everyone has to lead motions to silly songs. Although…bless those heroes.)
• June Ushers — come on, only 7 spots left. Take a risk. Live dangerously. Sign up today.
• Pre-Service Coffee — get in on the action. It’s waaay easier than you think, and people will suddenly be VERY HAPPY to see you. Training provided.
• Post-Service Coffee & Cookie Fellowship — no latte skills required. But do call or text Joan Dykstra at 920-226-0312 to get the skinny.  

The church isn’t built by a few people doing everything. It’s built by lots of people doing little things that make a big difference — plus the occasional coffee stain. Jump in — we’d love to serve alongside you!

🗂️ Office Notes for the Next Few Weeks

Due to Jury Duty, office coverage may be a little spotty over the next few weeks. Thank you in advance for your grace and patience as we juggle schedules!

Also, our voicemail issue has officially been solved — thanks to the observant person who let us know something was amiss.

Faithful Leadership

As we continue to walk through important denominational decisions, we want to encourage you to keep our Consistory in your prayers. These men and women have devoted countless hours seeking wisdom, listening carefully, having difficult conversations, and striving to lead with faithfulness and humility.

This work often happens quietly and behind the scenes, but it carries a real heaviness. Please pray that God would continue to give them unity, discernment, courage, and peace. And if you have the opportunity, a simple word of encouragement or thanks can go a long way.

Elders: Jim Blok, Ann Daane, Mike Daane, Dean Hengst, Terri Hengst, Eric Hesselink, Ed Hurlbutt, Kathy Spencer and Lynne Tebeest.

Deacons: Aaron Daane, Luke Dykstra, Jonah Frier, Jonathan Gabrielse, Lee Hengst, Nancy Huenink, Joel Nyhof, Tim Swart and Justin Van Ess.

NEWS BRIEFS

The Lost & Found Would Like Fewer Donations. There are some cute kids out there going jacket-less while lonely OshKosh B’gosh and Columbia coats wait patiently for a reunion. Water bottles are sitting around wondering why nobody misses them. And to the person (or persons?) missing their glasses… honestly, we’re impressed you made it this far. Stop by the coat closet off the carport entrance and claim your treasures!  

75 Years Later… and They Still Like Each Other!  Neil & Phyllis Vander Ploeg celebrate their 75th anniversary on May 25 (that’s TOMORROW)! Help celebrate this incredible milestone with a card or note. 701 Pine Drive #111,  Oostburg

🎹 A Happy Ending for a Grand Old Piano

The grand piano from Fellowship Hall has found its forever home! An accomplished musician has adopted it, and we hear plans include a little TLC and a whole lot of music-making in the near future.
