Our Goodfield church family and Bible Class is hosting another ACYF evening program next Sunday the 16th. Please come join us in worshipping God in song with high school students from our neighboring congregations. We will begin singing promptly at 5:45 PM with the program beginning at 6:00. The program should be about an hour long.

For our topical Bible study this Wednesday evening Bro. Frank Sauder plans to be here and talk about God’s design in gender distinction. This would be a great opportunity for all of us including the Young Group and Bible Class students.

Our dear sister Joy Hohulin passed away recently. Her visitation will be on Monday from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the Goodfield Fellowship Hall. Funeral service will be at 10:00 a.m. at the church on Tuesday with visitation before from 9:00 to 9:45. It is group 3’s turn to help and bring food. Please be prayerful for Bro. Jim and his family.

Next Sunday would be a good day to invite a minister as we will be very slim.

This year for the Sunrise Service, the committee would like to invite anyone in our Goodfield church family who has an interest in sharing a reading or song at this year's service to please reach out to us with what you would like to share.

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.

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).
