Our annual Sunday School and trustee ballot will be emailed out today. Please prayerfully fill this out and have it done by Saturday, January 28th. Each member should fill this out individually. We need to replace 3 sisters and 3 brothers as well as a new trustee. Bro. Daryl Blunier is finishing his term as one of our Eureka home board members in March and we have asked Bro.

This Wednesday evening we will have ACTIVE at 7:00 p.m.
LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Thank you for the great participation with the confirmation vote for our new ministry area stewards. You gave overwhelming support to move forward, and we appreciate your thoughtful comments as well. Bro. Jeff Grimm and Bro. Jeff Wiegand met with the steward team Friday morning. We are thankful for willing hearts and excited about our future. The ministry area stewards will be reaching out to the various ministries in their area of responsibility sometime soon. In Exodus, Moses’s father-in-law recognized that he needed more help, and in Acts the apostles added 7 to help grow and care for the church. We are likewise embarking on a biblical model of how a church can function in a healthy manner. Thanks again to each of you for all that is done for our church family. You are all valued and loved. May the Lord bless and keep you as we serve together in the body of Christ.
There will be an all church walk through shower for Sis. Taylor Kloter and Bro. Caleb Rassi on Tuesday, January 31st from 7-8 pm at the Gathering Room. Please bring $5-$10 and a paper product. If you would like to help with the shower, please sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0c4daeae22a6f49-walk1#/. Contact Sis. Lisa Rieke (309-231-2786) with any questions. Thank you!
Thanks for signing up for rotating potluck. The 2023 lists are ready for pickup at the message center.
It’s time to update our church directory. If you have any changes, please get them to Bro. Randy & Sis. Roxy Blunier or Bro. Barry & Sis. Joyce Kloter.
The Church small group Bible study books, “The Bait of Satan” are available at the South church entrances for collection.
This is the time of year that the Charity Fund sends gas cards to anyone who could use a boost of encouragement. This small ministry touches a lot of people. Please try and think of someone and send their name and address to Sis. Dawn Maloney.
