Keeping You "In The Know"

After celebrating a year of a service in the city of Appleton, we held our first In The Know Event for members and supporters of The CORE. We took time to celebrate the great things God has done here at The CORE, as well as look ahead at what He has planned for us next as a church. God has used the ministry to transform lives and bring people closer to Jesus - and our mission has only just begun.

We are incredibly thankful and excited to see how the Lord will continue to bless the church and ministry.

An Upcoming Event at The CORE

Jesus Cares Ministry will be holding an upcoming event at The CORE. The summer ministry is giving WELS and ELS college students hands on ministry experience as they prepare to enter congregational leadership. This ministry travels around to various churches and prepares individuals who are seeking an outreach opportunity beyond the walls of the church.

The event will be held on July 10th at 1:00 PM at The CORE. We are looking for volunteers that are passionate about helping others and eager to learn how to care for those with developmental disabilities. Come see what the Jesus Cares Ministry is all about!

Thank You Isn't Enough
An Expression of Thanks from Katie Strandlund

Words truly do not seem sufficient to express my heart and gratitude to you, The CORE. The CORE is a church. But it is not a church because of a building, it is a church because of the people that gather together as family in Christ and call themselves The CORE. And leaving that family and those I’ve had the honor to serve alongside for almost two years is bittersweet to say the least.

“Thank you” does not seem enough for the endless support and encouragement that you all have so freely given me. “Thank you” doesn’t seem enough for being incredible partners in carrying out The CORE’s mission to transform lives for Christ through faith that is real, relevant, and relational. Yet, “thank you” is the best I’ve got. I am truly humbled when I reflect on the ministry God has given me the opportunity to be a small part at The CORE.

The fight in Appleton is far from over. “Greater things are yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city.” * And I pray for God’s continued blessing and strength for all of you as you daily fight the fight and strive to live as a city within the city of Appleton to impact lives for Jesus with the Gospel.

*lyrics from “God of this City” by Blue Tree

From The CORE

It has truly been a blessing having Katie serve in our ministry at The CORE. We wish her many blessings as she sets out to fulfill God's calling on her heart.
We would like to think of this not as a "goodbye" but rather a "see you later".
Many thanks for your years of service!

Blessings,
Your Friends at The CORE
