Red District
As members of Fountain Street Church, we want you to be (and feel like) a viable part of your church family. It's a large family, and we know that the connection can be hard to make, but Beyond Sunday and the Red District is here to help.
Who are we? We are Tom & Suellen Bandyk, John & Anne Grima, Linda Hartman, Dan & Jola Royer, Monica Stegemen, and Nicole Stafford - your Red District Coordinators. As district coordinators, it will be our job to bring Red District members together as a viable part of Fountain Street Church. We will do that by providing opportunities for you to group action and personal interaction. Our group will provide service to each other, and to the community around us. Often, friendship and support is what we want and need, and likewise, the community around us can use our help in a number of ways. As district coordinators, we have chosen to focus the Red District's energies on children and education. We are continuing a partnership with the Grand Rapids Montessori School with support of various kinds including the 2008 Christmas Wish Tree program. The Red District led a church-wide program that provided school supply type gifts to teachers and staff at the Montessori School. We contributed almost $500 in cash and TONS of things like dictionaries, electric pencil sharpeners, hoola hoops, a vacumn cleaner, sporting equipment and much much more. We made a difference. We Changed the world.

Have you ever thought of being an Usher or a Greeter at church? This volunteer position is not difficult, but is very important. As an Usher or Greeter, you are at the leading edge of FSC as you become, in many cases, a stranger's first impression. You would be able to choose your own level of commitment; choose a light work schedule or a heavier one. This is one great way to be a part of FSC!

Artistically Speaking....
Even when the summer is over, there will be neat things going on around FSC to enjoy, like ArtPrize, which is quite a popular event downtown last year. People attended and participated from all over the world and it is hoped that that will be the case this year. And you can be a part of the action....FSC will be one venue for displaying art! We will be in need of people to help out as Greeters, so if you have interest at all in being a part of this international event taking place in September, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . You should know that the Red District has donated a small sum of money to this event and are sponsors of it. This will be a great way to be a part of your Church, your community, and your world all at the same time!
