2019 September 29 Announcements

Roxy Blunier • September 30, 2019

There will be a Blood drive Tuesday, October 1 at CNH from 6am to 12pm. You can pick up a flyer at the information center.

The Silver Lining has been an important and valued communications tool that has enhanced the connectivity and fellowship of our national Apostolic Christian Church brotherhood for many years.  Gratefully, Bro. Barry and Sis. Joyce Kloter have faithfully served in the Producer and Administrative roles for many years – we owe them a debt of gratitude for their contribution and service.  As time passes, they have expressed a desire to shift these duties to someone else, effective January 1, 2020.  We are seeking candidates for these roles.   Click-here to see a description of the Producer role.   Click-here to see a description of the Administrative role.  While it probably makes sense for these responsibilities to be shared by a married couple, the duties could potentially be separated and handled by two individuals with the right skill sets, connected by today’s technology and acceptable communications practices.  Barry and Joyce have estimated their monthly commitment in the 25-hour range each, which has been compensated at a gross combined rate of $1,250 per month (~$25.00 per hour).  While this rate is negotiable, it probably won’t change substantially from the current position.  If anyone is interested in pursuing this position please let Bro. Jeff Grimm know.

ACTIVE will begin this Wednesday night, October 2nd. This will be for Pre-K through High School. 5th thru 8th grades will be having an invite a friend wiener roast in the Gathering Room so please have your children invite a friend. Please note that Pre-K is the youngest age group for ACTIVE. If you have any questions, please contact Sis. Beth Sauder.

The conference we hosted in August contained some wonderful teachings on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5. This year, we would like to do something a little different to help enhance our learning. Each of the ministering brothers will spend a Wednesday evening starting in October to cover one or two of the conference topics. They will use the conference speaker's talk and scripture references as a springboard for a Bible study on the Beatitudes. Please take the opportunity to listen to the conference recordings on the AC Central App prior to that evening. Bro. Jeff Wiegand will cover the first two topics Wednesday, October 2nd. The speakers are Bro. Rick Plattner and Bro. Duane Farney. You can listen to these talks on AC Central or get a copy of the conference CDs in the back or you can read it via the transcription copy.

Loving Shepherd Ministries will be having a benefit Auction Friday, October 11th at Five Points in Washington. Dinner and Silent auction begin at 5:30 and the live auction at 6:30. As you know Loving Shepherd exists to provide vulnerable children with a completely unique continuum of care from childhood through adulthood, resulting in self-sufficient leaders who transform their culture for Christ.

The Home Benefit Dinner will be at 6:00 p.m., Saturday evening, October 26, at the Fellowship Hall.  Tickets are available at the Home and we encourage everyone of all age to attend the dinner.  (the singing group will be Praising Hymn, a young adult group from Eureka)

Bro. Mike Hinrichsen’s funeral will be on Monday at 10am with visitation from 9 to 9:45 a.m. Please be prayerful for Sis. Gerri and the entire Hinrichsen family.

Ramp Doors next Sunday (10/6): Max Hinrichsen & Loren Zeltwanger

Sunday School item for October: Toilet Paper (Heart House)

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).
