Summer Picnic – July 29, 2025
Don’t forget to sign up for the Summer Picnic happening Tuesday, July 29th! We’ll have a carnival-themed hangout with food, games, music and prizes. Food will be burgers, corn-dogs and fixings, popcorn and ice cream treats. We’ll have seating for our senior citizens but ask that families and young folks bring their lawn chairs. The picnic is free but please sign up so we can estimate food and supplies. https://frcportage.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3031620
4 people getting baptized Monday night!
We have three of our recent graduates getting baptized (Maddi, Jake and Ryan), plus Hayden! We are under a bit of time crunch to get it down before Maddi leaves for school so we will be doing the baptism outdoors at Woods Lake Park off of Oakland (2900 Oakland Dr., Kalamazoo, MI 49008) this Monday night (July 21) at 7:00 PM. The park has free entry and we will have ice cream to celebrate afterwards. Join us to support this step of obedience in their lives and witness their public confession of Christ.
Camp Selah
Kyle is having a great week teaching at High School Week at Camp Selah in Reading, MI. The theme is “He must increase; I must decrease” from John 3. There are two one hour chapel sessions each day and it’s been a joy to dig into the word with over 75 teenagers and staff. Please continue to pray for these kids, especially any who have not yet trusted in Christ, and for all the students to take home something from the week.
