LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We would like to thank everyone that helped out with the Gateway Woods auction: The people that helped with jobs, the people that bid, the people that donated items, the people that prayed for us and the weather. It was a wonderful day with a small drizzle that brought a wonderful coolness to the air. The Lord Blessed the day richly!
We are in need of baked goods for the Heart House! Please see the lists at the message center which have the dates and times. Contact Sis. Judy Mussleman with any questions . Thank you so much in advance!
The table in the women’s coat room will now be an on-going lost and found. Any items not claimed within a month will be marked “free” and then taken to Goodwill. Contact Sis. Trish Gerber with any questions.

Dear Goodfield AC Church friends,
Thank you is not enough to show what your outpouring of love, hugs and kind words means to us as we grieve the earthly loss of our sweet, loving, soft-spoken mom. We rejoice to know she is now healed and safe in the arms of Jesus!
Much love, Bruce and Teresa Ruder
