2019 June 16 Announcements

Roxy Blunier • June 17, 2019

Our collection for the month of June is for our local area relief projects. Thanks to all of you for the efforts that have been put forth in this area. All of the different projects areas that we are involved in are listed in our Church directory or on the website. If you have any questions or would like to be more involved, please see Sis. Dawn Maloney.

The Sunday school picnic is Sunday, June 30 starting at 4:30 pm at the Fellowship Hall. Fried chicken, drinks, and tableware will be provided. Please bring a dish to share. Everyone is invited.

Please mark your calendars for our 2019 Vacation Bible School, which will be held the week of July 15th – 19th for children 3 years old through the 8th grade based on the Sunday School class they were in for the 2018-19 school year.  Our theme this year is "Mission Possible" and we will be learning about our Great Commission including ways we can live this out through our four national church missions (Harvest Call, LifePoints, Gateway Woods, and ACCFS). We are in need of many volunteers to teach and help with crafts and snacks.  Please click here for an opportunity to bless others and be blessed by signing up to help.  Please see Bro. Darrell or Sis. Jennifer Stoller with questions.

The Gateway Woods benefit auction is coming up on Saturday, August 3rd. If you would be willing to donate items or money toward items please see Bro. Erik Wiegand. Items can be dropped off at their house or brought to church.

We are planning testimonies and baptisms for Diane Gregory on June 29th and 30th. Here testimony will start at 7pm on Saturday the 29th.

As mentioned recently, we are planning to start a program to help grow relationships between the adults in our Goodfield church family and our high school Sunday School students.  Click-here to view the highlights for the program that we plan to implement for the 2019-2020 school year.  

The most powerful way to learn isn’t through hearing and reading.  It is through journeying through life together in relationships.  The biggest impact for learning is demonstrated and lived-out or experienced through someone else.  It is what sticks in your mind.  In a classroom, a teacher attempts to get a point across through saying things in the right words or get across in the right podcast or write it and get it in the right book, or presentation or lecture.  That would cover everything.  But this concept of discipleship goes much deeper than that.  It is very freeing!  You don’t have to worry about having all of the answers written in textbooks and so forth to offer help.  All you have to do is:  Live – Breathe – Interact – Care -, and just walk alongside someone.  It is similar to parenting; a tie of on-going relationship and teaching. We ask that each of you review this and reach out to one of the committee members with any questions.  Thank you!   They are Bro. Kent and Sis. Lanae Wiegand, Bro. Jim and Sis. Ree Hartman, Bro. Luke and Sis. Jill Rocke and Bro. Russ and Sis. Andrea Wiegand.

Thank you so much to the entire Goodfield church for their prayers and support that made the Bible Class mission trip possible. It was a very blessed week serving the people of Eastern Tennessee and spending time together. A special thank you to Bro. Barry and Sis. Joyce Kloter for driving the Midwest Food Bank truck.

Ramp Doors next Sunday (6/23): Dan Plattner & Nate Zeltwanger

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
