TIME-OFF REMINDERS : As a reminder, all time-off requests should be submitted in ADP in advance or as soon as possible. While staff are communicating with managers about time off requests, some requests are not being submitted in ADP in advance which does not work well with ADP’s system. In circumstances such as sick time which may not have notice in advance, please get those in as soon as possible to ensure ADP is processing these requests properly and before payroll is due.

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 9:30 am in the Administration Foyer; 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.
- Continued prayers for healing and recovery for various Kroc Krew staff.
- Continued safety and success for the remaining weeks of Camp Kroc.
Each week, we feature a “Note from the Pastor” and Bible verse from Captain Jack Huffman and the Kroc Church team. If you ever want to hear more about these topics, join us for Kroc Church Sunday mornings at 10am.
You’ve Already Got The Recipe! Why Are You Adding Your Own Ingredients? – Philippians 2:1-11
It is natural for humans to want to have and do things their own way. Whether we are talking about the clothes we wear, how we share stories, working with others, coloring a page in a coloring book or even ordering a meal we want it our own way. We want it the way want it and no other way. I think of saying and songs that reinforce this idea.
Frank Sinatra was famous for saying “I did it my way” and even Burger King taunts the message “ Have it your way.” TO have things in life the way we want them is of course not necessarily a bad thing. It helps us to create our own indemnity and allows us to be set apart from the crown and to be unique among the people we surround ourselves with.
I want to encourage you today that God has already made you unique and special in His eyes, in fact in His image. He has given all that you need to be the person He intends you to be. Do not allow yourself to be measured against the world view, instead let God and His Word be the recipe for your life. There is no reason to add any new ingredients to an already perfect recipe. So, pick up the Word today dig into it and taste and see that the Lord is good.
Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center:
- Wednesday, July 9th: Bethany Christian Services Slip N’ Slide 12:30-3:30pm
- Saturday, July 12th: Changing Thirsty Lives Outdoor Basketball Courts 10am-12pm
Be sure to wish a Happy Birthday to our Kroc Krew colleagues:
