Our collection for the month of December is for the General Fund. This is a church collection to provide available funds for the operation, maintenance and upkeep of our church facilities. These facilities include the church, fellowship hall, contents, grounds, parking lots and cemeteries.
Due to the continuing spike of COVID cases in our community, it has been decided that Christmas caroling will be cancelled for this year. Despite our plans for a COVID friendly evening, we feel at this point it is best to play it safe. Thanks for your understanding!
The Hospital Lumiere Governing Board wishes to make the brotherhood aware of a critical missionary staffing shortage which threatens our ability to continue management of the hospital. A minimum of four important missionary roles must be filled in Nursing, Facilities, Administration, and Operations by mid 2021. Without that, HarvestCall will need to find another organization to take over hospital operations.
Our plea to the church:
1. If you have been contemplating a desire to potentially serve as a missionary but have not contacted HarvestCall yet, now is the time! Email amiller@harvestcall.org today.
2. If you know someone who would be a fit for one of the open roles, please encourage them to prayerfully consider applying.
3. Please pray! If the church is praying, we can have confidence that God’s will be done, no matter which way this ends.
To be clear, whether HarvestCall continues to be contractually responsible for the operations of Hospital Lumiere or not, our financial support will continue. Your ongoing donations are still needed.

Note from Bro. Rod & Sis. Lynda Hinrichsen:
We'd like to thank our Goodfield Church Family for the outpouring of love shown to us through cards, text messages, phone calls and meals during the loss of Lynda's dad, Allen Schrock. Also, thank you for the beautiful floral arrangement sent to his visitation. We love you all. Rod & Lynda Hinrichsen and family.
Note from the Coordinator of the Empower Life Center to the Women at Goodfield AC Church:
Wow! Thank you seems like a drop in the bucket but, thank you so much for your overwhelmingly kind and generous donation! It has been incredibly humbling to watch God continue to provide for us - especially during this time - through His people! What a gift! May God continue to bless you out of His gracious abundance! Thank you again!
We rejoice with Max & Jessica Hodel as they were blessed with a baby girl, Zailee Rose on December 1st.
We rejoice with Bro. Nathan & Sis. Tabitha Zobrist as they were blessed with a baby boy, Asher James on December 2nd.
