2018 September 16 Announcements

Roxy Blunier • September 17, 2018

In September we will be collecting for Apostolic Christian HarvestCall.

Local Relief:

TimberRidge is in the process of updating the resident’s rooms and have asked for volunteers to help with the painting.  This project will start Monday, September 17 and be ongoing until completed.  Painting of the rooms will be from 8:30 am - 2:30 pm daily. If you are willing to help with this painting project please call/text Jayne Sauder 309-642-1836.

There will be work days on Thursday's, September 20 and 27 at an elderly lady's home in Roanoke who has back problems and is unable to do the work herself. We plan to paint (indoors) and do yard work on the 20th and 27th.  We would like to start at 10am. We also need a couple of handy men for some projects in the home. Please see Sis. Dawn Maloney if you can help.

Our next family hymn sing is planned for Sunday, September 23rd at Bro. Larry and Sis. Lori’s Lakehouse Cabin. We plan to have a wiener roast at 5:00 pm followed by a 6:15 pm singing. The special group that evening will be our Bible class. Food signups are at the message center. Also please bring a lawn chair for the singing. Any questions please see Sis. Lori Wiegand.

There is a sign-up sheet at the message center for food for the baptisms for Marisa, Brooke and Sabrina on Sunday, September 30. It is Group 1's turn. We do not need waitresses. Thank you so much for your help!

The young group parent supper will be on Sunday, September 30th at the FH. Please RSVP to Sis. Mallory Bauman If you and your parents will be able to be there.

Bro. Mike Grimm was recently installed in the ministry in San Diego. Please be prayerful for Bro. Mike, Sis. Amber and their family. San Diego is not on AC Central but you can listen by dialing in using the following info. San Diego Call in services: (866) 210-1669 then enter access code 6634638

Loving Shepherd Ministries will be hosting a meal and charity auction for the vulnerable children of Haiti and Ethiopia on Friday, October 12, 2018, at the Five Points Washington.  The meal and Silent Auction start at 5:30PM with the Live Auction starting at 6:30PM. Items are still needed. This year, we are requesting all bakers to submit their best desserts for a special desserts section of our Silent Auction. If you would like to donate an item and/or dessert, please contact  Bro. Wade or Sis. Hallie Wettstein.  The auction is a wonderful evening of fellowship and enjoyment while raising much needed funds to help the world’s most vulnerable children. There will be free childcare provided, so couples with young children are encouraged to attend.

Note from Bro. Herman Glueck: Sara and I had the privilege of spending part of a day in Chicago (Northwestern Hospital downtown) (Monday 9/10) to see an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in bone cancer patients. He basically told us to go ahead with radiation, there was nothing to do surgically @ this point, my hip should heal on its own assuming the radiation knocks the cancer on my hip and pelvis. So, we are very thankful for that, thank you for the prayers!! The plan is to do 10 days of radiation treatments to the hip, then start some new chemo after that. I did start radiation treatments on Wednesday (9/12) and will do that for 10 week days straight.

We are very thankful to announce that Toby Plattner and Sydney Swords are at peace with God and man and desire baptism. Please pray for and encourage them during this most important time in life.  If you have any words of encouragement or concerns, please contact them.  Toby is the son of Bro. Kurt and Sis. Joan and Sydney is the daughter of Bro. Kris and Sis. Heather. We are planning for their testimonies and baptisms on October 27th and 28th. We are so thankful that God is still patient and calling souls to repentance and conversion.

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
