Words of Hope:  The Words of Hope devotionals have finally arrived.  They are on the back table in the narthex.

Vacation Bible School June 9-13: We are still in need of more adult volunteers to help guide our young explorers from one activity to the next. Please consider helping, VBS just isn’t the same without YOU! If you are able to help, even for a few days, please contact one of your church directors. You can still register online until June 4. (No walk-ins.) The link can be found on our 'VBS - Edgerton, MN' page. Cost is $10.

Church Name Discussion: Since our denominational change in 2022, there have been continued questions & conversations about the possibility of changing our church name. At this time, nothing is decided — we are simply in the discussion phase. If you have any questions about it, you can address anyone on the committee: Merri P., Bill P., Jason S., Caitlin A., Amy V.H., Pat F., Elmer P., Shelli  M., Hope S., Rihanna H., Carter G., and Kami S.

Midweek:  We’re starting to plan the 2025–2026 Midweek year! If you’ve never volunteered before and feel called to help, we’d love for you to join us. Or if you’ve taught in the past and would like to lead again, please talk to Caitlin Arp. We’re looking for teachers and chaperones. This is one way we live out our baptismal promise — to support our children as they grow in faith. We need you to make this happen! 

Graduation: You’re invited to attend the Graduation Open House of Joshua G. on Sunday, May 25 at 2:00-4:00pm at First Reformed Church.

Royal Family Kids Camp is in need of snacks and drinks to bless our adult guides who run after our 37 energetic campers all day. Looking for donations of bars, salty snacks, cookies, cheese/crackers or dip, and drinks for the week of camp, June 2-5.  Guides are given a time of snacks and rest to recharge 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 so she can keep tabs on what's coming. Bring any snack donations to the First CRC kitchen - south counter, labeled RFK, by Monday, June 2.  Thanks for blessing the camp and its mission!

Prayer and Cards Needed: Would you be willing to write a card for one of our Royal Family Kids Camp children this year and pray over them during the week of camp June 2-5? It can be a fun thing to do as a family or individual! Reach out to Nicole Vis or our Royal Family Kids Camp SWMN Facebook page if you'd like to join in helping camp with prayer and a card for one of the children at camp this year. Thanks!
