Thank you to ALL who contributed candy

for our Trunk or Treat evening and to those who came dressed up and passed out the candy! We had about 150 children come through our doors. Please pray that the fli-ers and information given out by the Out-

reach Team, will be used to plant the seeds of the Spirit in the hearts of children who do not attend a church and that they will come and check out what Prosper CRC is all about!

the older kids) or the Sermon Notes for Kids.

...is Gretchen Koster!!! Gretchen is a student at Hope College and this is what she has to say about her life right now: “As of right now, college is going very well. My classes and track practice are keeping me busy as it is. I am already student teaching in a resource room at an elementary school. This

opportunity has only reassured me that I want to become a special education teacher. Holland reminds me of Falmouth in many ways, which I am very grateful for. I am really enjoying the chapel sessions here at Hope College too. I do have to retake the SAT, be-cause my results were just below the requirements to be accepted in the education program. If you could pray for my upcoming test date that would be much appreciated. Thank you for all your support! — Gretchen Send Gretchen a note of encouragement ... email: gretchen.koster@hope.edu address: 141 12th Street PO Box 9022 Holland, MI 49422-9022
