June 16, 2024 Bulletin Announcements
Vacation Bible School: THANK YOU to all our volunteers, pastors, parents, and children who helped make this week a huge success! Without you and your time, we couldn't do it. We are so blessed to be able to pour into the lives of children in this congregation and community! We were blessed with over 200+ children attending our VBS week. This year's theme was "Diving into Friendship with God" and a verse we focused on John 3:16. It's our prayer that Scuba VBS will immerse everyone in a deeper, richer relationship with God.

Custodian: We are pleased to announce that Courtney Kooi has joined us as our new custodian, currently training and officially starting on July 1. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Caty Arp for her dedicated service to our congregation. Please join us in welcoming Courtney and expressing our gratitude to Caty for her faithful service to our church as custodian.
Note: "What does it mean to be Reformed? Is it important today? Why are there so many Reformed denominations and how did they start? Come to Edgerton Protestant Reformed Church on Friday, June 28 at 7:00 p.m. to hear Pastor Matt De Boer answer these questions and encourage us to keep going back to the Bible."
Fill Our Tanks: Summer is now upon us, and the Jr. High trip to RYM Texas will be here before we know it. We need your help getting down the road with our "Fill Our Tanks" fundraiser. Like last year, we will travel via vans, and it will take 16 total tanks to get us there and back. Consider donating $20 for a quarter tank, $40 for a half, or $80 for a full tank, but any donation is greatly appreciated. You can drop your donations in the gas can at the Welcome Desk.
Bloodmobile: There will be a Red Cross blood drive at the First Reformed Church in Edgerton on Monday, June 17 from 12:30 until 6:30. Please call Betty at 507-227-8416 or fbhuisken@gmail.com to make or confirm an appointment. There is a constant need for blood. Every 2 seconds someone/somewhere in the U.S.A. needs blood. Anyone 16 years or older and in good health can donate.
Jr. High RYM Volunteers: We are looking for two people willing to pick up and drop off the rental vans for our trip so that our drivers do not have to spend extra time in the car before and after the trip. Drivers must be available at 6:30 a.m. on July 30 and roughly 8:00 p.m. on August 5. Talk to Pastor Mark to volunteer.
