The following Prayer Prompter was emailed by Pastor Matt this week:
— Carroll Pleasance died Easter Sunday afternoon. Please join
me in offering thanksgiving for a life that brought much glory to
God and Carroll's passionate witness of the redemptive power
of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Please also pray for Carroll's son,
Randy, as he grieves and plans the affairs of celebrating his
dad's life while saying goodbye for now. Pray that many will
encourage Randy and walk with him through this time of
mourning. A memorial service will be held for Carroll at 2:30pm
on Monday May 1 at FRC.
— John White's mom, Mildred, fell and broke her leg and is in
extreme pain. Please pray for healing for Mildred and an easing
of the pain. Pray for patience for her and for John and Carol as
they care for her.
PRAYER REQUESTS/UPDATES:
Consistory Board recommendations will be received for the positions of Elder and Deacon through Sun, Apr 30. Recommendation forms can be found in the Sunday bulletins and in the lobby.
Please pray about these important positions for FRC.
— Kathy Nye has moved recently from Seattle to Careage in
Coupeville and will be there until she is able to do more on her
own. Visits and cards are still welcome: 311 3rd St NE, Coupeville,
WA 98239
— John Koetje has recently returned from Latvia. He requests
prayers for his daughter-in-law’s mother, who had surgery recently, but with complications. Also, John shares with us that his son
and daughter-in-law, Tom and Kat will be transitioning from the
mission field to Snoqualmie, WA in June.
FRC Women! You've seen the images on your
social media accounts . . . groups of friends
holding up canvases of the same painting,
each with their own, unique flair.
We're having a Canvas Painting Party at FRC
this Saturday at 6pm! The cost is $30 (all
materials provided) and space is limited to 30
women. The picture/theme is shown here.
Sign ups are online and can be found on FRC’s
Facebook Page (facebook.com/frcoakharbor)
or in the Friday email.
Precious Memories, two subtle yet beautiful words that
Precious Memories, two subtle yet beautiful words that
bring warm, familial memories to mind. One may envision the
treasured image of a stunning bride dressed in her grandma’s
wedding dress walking down the aisle to her happily ever after.
A beloved memory can be as simple as a quilt crafted by three
generations or a Bible full of the wisdom passed down through
generations. These narratives bottled up in our minds are eager
to be let out for future generations to glean tidbits of wisdom and
unique stories full of hope, sorrow, and laughter.

This art of storytelling is precisely the aim of the Women’s Precious
Memories Tea on Saturday, May 20th. It will be a chance for
each woman and young lady to dig out their treasured family
heirlooms, write a narrative about those treasures, and proudly
display their heritage for others to see. From a simple family
recipe on a card, to a priceless antique, to a treasured picture
of a loved one — we each have a story worth sharing.

The tea costs nothing but an hour and a half of your time, so
invite your friends, neighbors, and even the woman who walks
the track the same time as you, because one never knows what
may be shared or what will be taken away. Plus, this tea is open
to women and young ladies of all ages! So young moms — bring
your daughters and let them invite their friends, too. Childcare
will be available for ages 0-3.
