June 2, 2024 Bulletin Announcement
Prayer Warriors: We invite everyone to be a prayer warrior! Grab a list of all those attending RYM-Colorado, and be in prayer for them as they prepare to leave and while they are on the trip. Edge Youth and chaperones will be leaving June 9, and return June 15.
Care Packages: Thank You to everyone who grabbed a care package for the Edge Youth trip to RYM-Colorado! Please fill them and return them on or before June 7th!
Custodial Position: Greg and Caty Arp have resigned as church custodians and so we are currently seeking a new custodian. If you have a heart for service and wish to help maintain a clean, welcoming environment where our church family gathers to worship, we'd love to hear from you! A job description outlining the responsibilities and expectations is available for those interested in applying. For more information or to request a copy of the job description, please speak to Kyle Wassink or another deacon.
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 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.
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.
Royal Family Kids Camp is in need of snacks and drinks to bless our guides who run after our energetic campers all day. Looking for donations of bars, salty snacks, cookies, cheese/crackers or dip, and drinks for the week of camp, June 3-6. Guides are given a time of snacks and rest during our nightly debriefing and meetings. If you are willing to provide snacks and/or drinks for RFK Camp, please contact Evon Van Hofwegen (507-920-0265) to tell her what you’d like to bring, and put any snack donations in the First CRC kitchen, labeled RFK, by Saturday, June 1. Thanks for blessing the camp and its mission!
