Roxy Blunier • October 21, 2019

Our collection for the Month of October is for HarvestCall.

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.

On AC Central there is a new “Around the Table podcast.” If you have time, please listen to the two podcasts about “understanding our vision and purpose.”  There are other topics there as well and new ones will be posted twice per month.

Young Group girls’ Bible study will be this Tuesday evening at the Gathering Room at 7:00.  The Young Group guys’ Bible study will be at the same time at Bro. Rick & Sis. Stacie Bauman’s house.

Bro. Kurt will be talking about “Blessed are the merciful and Blessed are the pure in heart” beatitudes from the general conference this Wednesday evening. Please listen to the talks from Bro. Ken Wuethrich and Bro. John Laukhuf.

The Eureka Home Benefit dinner on October 26 still has 10 whole empty tables - 80 seats.  If you are available on this evening, please consider joining us for a wonderful meal and an evening dedicated to the Glory of God. This benefit dinner raises money for the residents at our home, buying equipment and providing opportunities for the people in our care at the Home.  Many of these residents are our brothers and sisters in Faith.  We sincerely appreciate your help.  Tickets can be obtained by simply calling the Home at 309-467-2311.  (Kent Steffen is grilling)  If you have questions contact Sis. Jill Wagner.

On Wednesday evening, October 30, Bro. Brad and Sis. Debbie Braker from our Morton congregation will be giving a presentation on the Apostolic Christian involvement  of our mission in India. This will include a live audio/visual segment with the  RGMMI pastor in India and his wife.  We will be able to interact with them live and visit about their culture and Christian walk with the Lord.  Debbie will share with us her experience with helping teenage girls learn to bake as well as  instructing them with other pieces of practical wisdom.  We will be enjoying  a “taste of India” afterward. It will be held at the Fellowship Hall starting at 7:30 and be in place of our Wednesday evening service.  

The Apostolic Christian HarvestCall benefit auction for Hospital Lumiere is planned for Friday, November 8 at Five Points in Washington. The food court and silent auction start at 4:30. The live auction begins at 7:00.

We are very thankful to announce that Doug Glueck is at peace with God and man and is ready for 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. Doug is the son of George and Pauline Glueck and a brother to our Sister Sabrina.

We are also thankful to announce that Alice Nohl is at peace with God and man. We plan to have Alice's baptism this coming Saturday, October 27th at the Home in Eureka starting at 1:30pm.  We will have limited seating but everyone is welcome to attend. If you have a special connection to Alice it would be wonderful if you could be there. We are so thankful that God is still patient and calling souls to repentance and conversion.

We are thankful to announce the engagement of our Bro. Nathan Zobrist  to Sis. Tabitha Koch from Tremont. Bro. Nathan is the son of Bro. Mike and Sis. Susie Zobrist and Sis. Tabitha is the daughter of Bro. Dirk and Sis. Erika Koch from Tremont. We pray the Lord will bless their union together.

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
