2018 July 15 Announcements

Roxy Blunier • July 16, 2018

Our collection boxes are open this month for the Apostolic Christian Life Points (formerly the Handicapped Home).  Please prayerfully consider the special loved ones who are served by this facility and share accordingly.  May God bless you richly for giving to the Lord's work.

Our Centennial Supper starts at 5:00 pm and singing and slideshow at 6:30 tonight. The entire Goodfield community was invited so please come and share in the evening with neighbors and our church family.

The Young Group girls Bible study will be this Tuesday evening on July 17th starting at 7:00 in the Gathering Room.  This is a week earlier than normally scheduled, so hopefully it works for a great turn-out.  Chapters 12 and 13 will be covered in the Esther Bible Study.

They Young Group guys Bible study will be the following week (Tuesday the 24th and will be at Bro. Jeff and Sis. Ruth’s home).

There will be a triple all church shower for Wade Gregoire and Nickole Oxendine, Kinsey Herrmann and David Hoffman, and Kendahl Evans and Mark Gerber on Saturday, August 4th from 9 -10:30 am at the Gathering Room. Please bring $5 or $10, a grocery item, and your favorite recipe. If there are questions, contact Sis. Lisa Rieke.

Sis. Mary Steffen passed away quickly and peacefully Friday afternoon, at the Eureka Home. Sis. Mary is the mother of Bro. Mark (Sis. Joan) Steffen. Arrangements have been made for visitation from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Goodfield Fellowship Hall on Monday, July 16 and funeral at Congerville church at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, with visitation from 9:00-9:45 at the church.  Burial will be in Dells Cemetery.  Please keep Bro. Mark and Sis. Joan and the entire Steffen family in your prayers.

We are planning to have testimonies baptism’s for Brooke Wiegand and Marisa Herrmann on September 29th and 30th.

Ashlyn Millett has turned her life over to the Lord in repentance. May she feel God’s nearness and grace as she serves. Ashlyn is the daughter of Mike and Amy Millett of Carlock. We are so thankful that God is still patient and calling souls to repentance and conversion.

The Proclaim and Serve Missions Conference for Harvest Call will be held at the Tremont Church on Saturday, July 21st. There will be a full day of workshops, presentations, breakouts, and small group discussions on a wide variety of mission-related topics.  Handouts were passed out at church today with all the info you need to sign up.

Midwest Food Bank will host a “Sharing the Blessing” Dinner and Auction on August 25 at the Morton warehouse, 700 Erie Ave. Tickets are $50 each or $400 for a table of 8. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. with dinner and auction to follow. Tickets are available at the Morton or Peoria Divisions of Midwest Food Bank

During the recent 2018 TN Fellowship Memorial Day Weekend event, we were blessed with wonderful support from brothers and sisters from your church and from others across the country. We especially appreciated the large number of young people who came and the great energy they brought. On behalf of the Athens congregation and the TN Fellowship Board, I wanted to take a few minutes to say a heartfelt thank you. The Athens congregation was truly blessed and encouraged. God's presence was felt by all through the fellowship and sharing of the Word through the speakers and song.

We plan to continue hosting the TN Fellowship Weekend in 2019 (May 25-26) and pray that God will continue to be glorified through the weekend events.

In Christ,

Tom Waldbeser

(on behalf of the Athens, AL congregation and TN Fellowship Board)

We rejoice with Jonathon and Kandace Roth as they were blessed with a baby girl, Brexley Paige on July 10th.

April is our Charity Fund collection so we will continue that through the end of the month. Please reach out to the charity committee if you know of someone in need. Sis. Jill Wagner wishes to let everyone know she is making face masks for friends and family. These are available at no charge (adult size only so far…). Please contact Sis. Jill if you want any. There will be separate young group girls and guys Bible studies this Tuesday evening starting at 7:00 pm. Check your email for an invitation to connect with zoom. Hope to see you all. Cole Zeller and Sabrina Glueck's Wedding - May 3, 2020 To our dear church family. Because of the current shelter in place mandate, the plans for Bro. Cole Zeller and Sis. Sabrina Glueck's wedding plans have changed. They will still be getting married May 3 at 11:00 am but with a very small amount of people. If you would like to watch the wedding live, you can go to the Goodfield AC Church website ( goodfieldacchurch.org ) and click the "Watch Live" tab. You can also listen in on the website or AC Central. Our hope is, Lord willing, to have a reception at a later date. If you would have gifts that you have already purchased for them to start their new home, you can contact Bro. Cole (309-678-8096) or Sis. Sabrina (309-267-5676) via text or call to make arrangements to drop them off. We have so appreciated the loving thoughts, texts, emails, cards and prayers we have received this past few weeks. Although we sometimes don't understand what is going on currently in the world, God does know, and it is Him who we completely trust! You should have received an email about the CARES act this week with biblical principles to consider. Bro. James Fehr from Tremont had a very nice talk about it on April 15th that you can listen to on AC Central. There will also be an Around the Table podcast on this subject as well. Our Zoom fellowship meetings will begin this week. Your group leader will be reaching out to you to set a time. Thanks to all who signed up. We are looking forward to seeing your faces and having some quality time together. Sis. Gretchen Zimmerman’s dad recently passed away. Please be prayerful for the Vietti and Zimmerman family during this time of loss. We are very thankful Jim recognized Jesus as his savior. We are very thankful that Reggie Plattner is at peace with God and desires baptism. Please pray for Reggie and encourage him during this most important time in his life. If you have any words of encouragement or concerns, please contact him. We are so thankful for surrendered hearts. Note from Elder Committee: This letter is to share our change in plans (due to COVID-19) for the August General Conference which was scheduled to be hosted by our Rittman, OH congregation. As an Elder Body, we appreciate the opportunity to communicate with the church during our General Conference. And while we are sharing with you that we are canceling the in-person Thursday evening Elder/Minister Meeting and Friday General Conference this year at Rittman , the Agenda Committee is working on alternative approaches for us to communicate with the Church in August. We would ask each of you to be prayerful as they seek to discern the Holy Spirit’s direction so that we can still “gather together” in a way that is “decent and in good order.” At this point, we have not made a decision regarding an in-person Elder Meeting this August. Lord willing, we plan on determining the appropriate path forward for the Elder Meeting by mid-June. We trust this decision, which was made prayerfully and carefully, reflects the Holy Spirit’s direction, as well as an understanding of the current and near future “reassembling of large gatherings” realities across the United States. We appreciate the efforts of the Rittman brethren that have been underway over the last year to be prepared for the upcoming Conference, and trust that the way will open for us to assemble with them at a General Conference in 2021. Our prayer is that " your love may abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God " (Phil. 1:9-11). The Elder Committee
