Five people lost their lives in a fire outside of Goodfield Saturday night.  Please keep the families of those who died in your prayers.

We will open the collection boxes this month for our local Charity fund. Many lives are affected by your giving to this fund.

We plan to have our adult topical Bible presentation each Sunday morning in April except for Easter Sunday. This will be at the Gathering Room and will start at 10am. Bro. Jeff Wiegand will conducting the class this month.

The trustees would like to thank everyone that helped with the outside cleaning of our church facilities. There will be future work projects taking place on and around the buildings as the year progresses. We were able to complete a large amount of work in a short period of time. Thank you again for the hard work and fellowship we enjoyed.

HarvestCall projects will be on Tuesday at the Fellowship Hall from 9-noon. Babysitting is provided. We would love for you to join us!

The Heart House is having their Spaghetti supper and Bake sale. This year we have been asked to make pans of bars. There is a signup sheet at the message center if you feel moved to help in the Lord's work. The bars need to be at the Heart House by noon on April 25th which is the night of the supper that goes from 3:30 PM until 7:30.  If you have questions, please see Sis. Gretchen Zimmerman.

Rachel McClure in your prayer as Austin’s grandma Sis. Sharon McClure was laid to rest this past Friday. Mae Kelly also lost her sister Carolyn Kelly on March 30th. Please keep all of these families in your prayers.

We are very thankful to announce that Bill Koepnick is at peace with God and man and desires baptism. Please pray for him and encourage him during this most important time in his life.  If you have any words of encouragement or concerns, please contact him.

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
