LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Rotating potluck lists are ready to be picked up at the message center. Thank you to everyone willing to be a part!
It has been brought to our attention that several of the vendors we use for serving lunch, such as Beecham’s, Casey’s, Schnuck’s and ALDI are now requiring a 2 week notice for orders. Because of this we have compiled a new GREEN binder that has vendor information and past lunch history for you to pick up 2 weeks before you serve so you can place your orders in a timely fashion. You will then take the green binder back and exchange for the purple binder the Sunday before you serve. The purple binder has key and the rest of the information you will need to serve. Sis. Roxy will note in the weekly announcement email who serves in two weeks so you are alerted and can get started with the planning. Please remember if you switch serving dates with someone else to let Sis. Christy Wiegand know so she can update the church calendar online which Roxy will use for the reminders. If you have any questions, please see Sis. Emily Sauder or Sis. Judy Knapp.
Beginning Monday, January 12, Bro. Alan & Sis. Joanne Roth will be facilitating the Griefshare program at the Fellowship Hall Gathering Room. This is a faith based 13-week program that helps people learn how to navigate the grief journey. This program is open to everyone from the church & surrounding communities. Please share with anyone you know who may benefit from the Griefshare program & contact Alan or Joanne for more information.
Our study for 2026 Winter Group Study is “Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers”. While we know what Christ has done for us on the cross, do we really understand His heart for His people who are striving heavenward yet are weary and faltering on the journey? This study reflects on the words of Jesus when He said, "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest."
This small group study is open to all and has been such a blessing to build spiritually deep relationships within our church body.
Please sign-up for the Winter Bible study here. You can also sign-up at the information center. Also, remember that checking leader indicates being willing to lead/host a group, please consider and mark being a leader or host a group. Please sign up by January 18th. Any questions, please see Bro. Jon and Sis. Abby Hohulin.
There will be a blood drive at the Goodfield Fellowship Hall on Monday, January 19th from 1:00-6:00pm. If you are willing to donate blood please sign up online or call Sis. Lynda Hinrichsen.
