2019 November 3 Announcements

Roxy Blunier • November 4, 2019

Our monthly collection is for the Eureka Home. We are thankful to have a wonderful place that cares deeply for our loved ones. Please consider supporting the Home this month.

There will be ACTIVE this week.

We plan to have singing at the Eureka Home on this Saturday, November 9th. Due to extremely low turnouts we have decided to have a signup sheet each month for this. We would like to have at least 30 people to attend each week. You can sign up at the information center or online At this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0C4EA5AB2BA7FC1-eureka. It is a great opportunity for each of us, especially families with children to interact with our loved ones at the home. Please consider the blessing that you will receive for attending.

The benefit auction for Hospital Lumiere is planned for this Friday, November 8 at Five Points in Washington, Illinois.  The food court and silent auction start at 4:30.  The live auction begins at 7:00.  This annual fund-raising auction is a critical part of Hospital Lumiere’s funding and your support is appreciated.  Goodfield has been asked to provide volunteers for many tasks including Food Court, Silent Auction, and help with carrying out items.  Bible class, Young Group, and Sunday school kids over the age of 10 are needed from 4:30 on for a multitude of tasks.  Adults are welcome too!  There is a sign-up sheet at the message center or you can text Sis. Jill Wagner at 309-267-2109.  If you have questions, talk to Sis. Jill or Bro. Greg Wagner.

We are having the Adult Bible Study series at the Fellowship Hall this month each Sunday morning starting at 10am.  Bro. Nathan plans to teach.  Please feel free to invite a friend or neighbor.

We are returning to Texas in 2020 to continue helping in their recovery and Orange County, Texas will be the location of our next Winter Rebuilding Ministry.  (This is just east of the 2019 location, Hardin County.)  Homes will be built or repaired for those who have not been able to recover on their own from Hurricane Harvey.  And, as we do, we’ll be focused on sharing the love of Christ and the gospel message of salvation.  Just like last year, in order to give everyone equal chance at the limited spots available, registration will open at a set date and be first come — first served.  Registration opens at noon Central Time on November 18 on the HarvestCall website.

Effective Jan 1, 2020, the Goodfield Distribution Center is discontinuing its Furniture Distribution effort.  Effective immediately; furniture, appliances, baby items or bed and/or mattress donations are not being accepted.  Any questions should be directed to Bro. Norm Ricketts.  Also (as previously announced) there is a great need for clothing, shoes, pillows and bed sheets to send overseas.

Jonas and Savannah Wiegand are at peace with God and man and desire baptism.  Please pray for Jonas and Savana and encourage them during this most important time in their life.  If you have any words of encouragement or concerns, please contact them.  Jonas and Savannah are the children of Bro. Erik and Sis. Carrie Wiegand.  We know there is joy in heaven because of this and we are rejoicing as well.

There is going to be an Awareness Tour to Jamaica January 17-21. We will be visiting the places HarvestCall is involved with on the Island. If you are interested in more information please contact Bro. Alan or Sis. Joanne Roth.

Please pray for Bro. Roger Gerber as he plans to have major back surgery this Tuesday.  He’ll be in the hospital for a few days (up to a week depending on his recovery) and he and Sis. Trish would appreciate your prayers.

Thank you for your prayers for Tony Wirth.  The retina has reattached but vision is not yet totally clear. Please continue to pray for healing.

Local mission trip opportunity! Make a global impact in your own backyard. Lifesong for Orphans in Gridley, IL is seeking volunteers to help with the construction of a new office space and coffee roasting facility. If interested, fill out a volunteer interest form at lifesong.org/volunteer. This is not signing up to volunteer! Rather, it’s signing up to receive more information and opportunities as the project progresses.  A number of licensed contractors will be on the job, and as a volunteer, you’ll be working side-by-side with these skilled professionals.  Even if these needs don’t fit your skill set, you can still be involved! Would you pray over this project and the Lifesong for Orphans ministry? If you have any questions, please call/text Bro. Barry Kloter @ 309-657-4455.

Sunday School item for November:  Office/Computer Paper (ADDWC)

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
