Feed My Starving Children (October 11, 2025): There were 26 people in our packing group and that includes 21 members from FPGMC that joined other volunteers to pack food that will be distributed throughout the world to starving children. The work if fun and fast paced.
The FPGMC group worked a 2 hour shift that goes by quickly. Our job is to fill packets with dried vegetables, vitamins, rice and protein and pack them in a box. We packed a total of 72 boxes and each box contains 36 food packets. That comes out to 2,592 bags. Each bag contains 6 meals and that translates into 15,552 meals. What a great way to minister to those in need and serve our Father in heaven.

Pastor Warren Waddell’s Retirement Banquet (September 28, 2025): It was a celebration to honor Pastor Warren’s 47 years of service to God and 13 years as Pastor of Fountain Park Church. A total of 110 people were in attendance which included church members, family and 
friends. Several individuals spoke to the gathering to highlight Pastor Warren’s dedicated life to God, the Church and the community. In addition, the Fountain Park Church Choir performed several hymns dedicated to the Pastor. As many members know, Pastor Warren has 
numerous furry puppet friends and one of those, Sammy the Squirrel, also paid tribute to his friend. As the banquet concluded, dozens of attendees surrounded the Pastor offering prayers. We pray for Pastor Warren and his wife, Linda, in his retirement that they will have a long and healthy retirement.

hole, road construction hole, and kitchen hole. Some holes had multiple holes in layers.

Church Family Bowling Party
February 23, 2025
Dozens of our church family got together at Odyssey Fun Center in Sheboygan Falls for a bowling party for all ages and abilities. Not only was there plenty of pin action, the gutter saw its share of action to. So no part 
of the bowling alleys was left undisturbed. The kids made use of the gutter guards, but the adults had to “fling it” and sometimes hope for the best. But it didn’t matter what the score was, laughter and fun was the big hit.
Also lots of members came out just to watch and cheer everyone on and get an afternoon of laughs. There was no shortage what to see as scores ranged from the 50’s to the 200’s. So there was a variety of bowling skills to see.
This was our second annual family 
bowling party, and judging by the turnout and the fun, we look forward to more bowling parties.

fellowship started with a nice meal of Special Autumn Chili and Chicken & Rice Soup, along with hot cider to warm your bones on a chilly November evening. Of course, no event would be complete unless we had plenty of delicious desserts to cap it off. Thank you to the Adult &
