- Thanks to everyone for your help during maintenance week! While members sometimes complain about the disruption, we also know based on their continual positive feedback about the appearance of the Kroc Center (our #4 customer service key) that this is an important way to keep our building looking and running great.
Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center:
- UPrep Enrichment Classes: Tuesday/Thursday, 9–10:15am; Outdoor Fields
- Friends of the Kroc Networking Luncheon: Wednesday, 12-1pm; Fireside C
- FitKids360: Wednesday, 5-8pm; WPAC & Music Room
- Surprise Party: Saturday, 12-4pm; Fireside A/B
Each week, members of the Kroc Center and Kroc Church submit a number of requests for prayer. We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9am (currently in the Music Room); if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.
- Continue to pray for the health and safety of our community as COVID cases are back on the rise.
Be sure to wish a Happy Birthday to our Kroc Krew colleagues:
- Claire Dunselman: 9/18
- Aaran Bush: 9/21
- Nancy Showers: 9/22
- Chris Reinsma: 9/23
