The Heart House in Eureka is doing some remodeling and could use volunteer help. The next days they need help are January 10th and 11th. An email was sent out with a link to sign up if you can help. Please contact Bro. Barry Kloter with any questions. 


We are excited to have the men and boys (5th grade and older) of our church get together again for our next Growing Godly Guys, or G3, Sunday morning coffee & devotion on Sunday, January 19th in the Gathering Room at 9:00 a.m. Contact Bro. Arlen Edelman with any questions.


Reminder that the Charity Fund Committee has gas cards available for those in need. If you know of anyone who you feel could use a boost of encouragement, please text their name and address to Sis. Dawn Maloney at 309-472-6067 and she will take it from there. The gift card will come from the Goodfield AC Church with the gospel message of hope included with it. If you think of someone that could use help but does not have a car, and would not need a gas card, contact Sis. Dawn as there are other options as well. Anyone you think of qualifies for this!


NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:


The Sunday School Curriculum Committee, a part of Onward Media, is excited to share an update with the church! In the past year, our dedicated team of authors, reviewers, coordinators, and illustrators across our congregations have written over 300 preschool through 12th-grade lessons. Nearly 500 lessons have been written in the last two years! This is a testimony of God's faithfulness and the hard work of our volunteers. Please thank those in your congregation who have been contributing! 


We aim to write the remaining 220 lessons by December 2025 and have the finished product ready afterward. However, you can access these lessons in their current format on our website. To finish, we need additional authors and reviewers: ten volunteers in high school, four in junior high, and two in first and second grade. Additional help for general review, copyright, and apologetics would also be appreciated. We need brothers and sisters willing to spend 2-5 hours a week writing and reviewing lessons that come alongside our families in teaching who God is, what he has done, and how he wants our students...the future of our church...to live. 


For more information about the project watch this video and visit our website (https://www.apostolicchristian.org/curriculum-project). To volunteer, please sign up via this link or at our website by January 19. Please continue to pray God directs this work and brings us the volunteers we need.


PRAYER REQUESTS:


Thank you for the prayers for Sis. Marilyn Blunier. After a rough few days, the treatments in the hospital seem to be working and she received positive test results Sunday morning. Hopefully she will be recovered enough to come home in a day or two.


Please pray for Rob Gregoire as his father, Benard Gregoire, passed away this week in Arkansas . Keep Rob and Sis. Diane in your prayers. 


BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT:



We rejoice with Bro. Lakin and Sis. Abby Dietrich as they were blessed with a baby boy, Dakota James, on December 31st.

This Thursday, October 16th we will have a singing and activity night at the Eureka AC home upstairs activity room at 6:30 PM - It has been several years since our church family has been actively involved with the Eureka AC home residents, and we would like to rekindle that and continue to support our church family who reside there. The stewardship committee talked with the residents, and they said they desired a mixture of singing, and conversing or playing games with our church family. We’ve decided to have a 15-to-20-minute time of singing around the piano together. And then the rest of the time would be for conversing or playing games together.

The Eureka Home Auxiliary would like to thank the Goodfield congregation for their prayers, financial support, and help. This year’s Family Fest was a great success. We praise God! When we approved the changes to our bylaws a couple of months ago, a portion of the packet that you were given to approve was accidentally left out when it was sent to the state of Illinois. By state law, to add that portion to our bylaws and constitution that is registered with the state, we must vote again. They consider this a new submission even though we approved the bylaws and constitution in its entirety. We plan to vote again on the same packet right after morning church on October 26th. We will give opportunity for the Sunday School teachers to vote as well. If you remember, we need 60% of the membership to vote to make it official. Thank you for your patience yesterday as we tried cafeteria style church lunch. Here are a few points to remember: · We are not insinuating that we are switching to this style of serving lunch. It has been suggested numerous times as many other AC churches are offering it, and we need to be open to the possibility. · As we analyze our facility and try to plan for the future, we need to see current and potential pain points. Some things have to be experienced and not just imagined. · If we choose to offer this style of serving in the future, it will be decided by a committee using the information that we collect this fall. Constructive feedback is critical. Please be aware that any feedback that is shared will be copied into a shared document word for word for various committees to sort and organize. · Until a building committee chairperson is designated, you can send your feedback to Bro. Jeff Wiegand at successbyservice@gmail.com . For our Goodfield church visioning and building remodel project, we will have a small group discussions on Wednesday, November 5th in place of our regular service. The discussion will be around our facility and how we can change or improve the facility to better accomplish our mission. All attendees and members of our church are invited and encouraged to attend. NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: If anyone has an item to go to the Hospital Lumiere auction, they can get it to Bro. Greg or Sis.

Rochester Guesthouse Caretaker Need This announcement pertains to the Guesthouse that was established in 2012 for use by those who are receiving medical care in Rochester, Minnesota. The operation of the guesthouse depends on a resident caretaker of the home who doubles as the host to guests staying about 1/3 of the evenings. Over the years, many have helped fill this role on a temporary or longer-term basis. We sincerely thank Brother Jim and Sister Marcy Knobloch for filling this need the past year amid renovating the home to add a lift to the lower level. As of November 1st, 2025, there is an opportunity for others to serve in the Guesthouse caretaker capacity. The Board of Directors of the Guesthouse is requesting anyone with a heart for and an interest in this work to make it known. The Board desires for someone to take up residence in the Guesthouse and operate it as the caretaker and host, ideally for an extended period. Anyone who feels led to pursue this opportunity should make it known to their local Elder or lead minister. If there are specific questions regarding this position, they may be directed to any of the Board members listed below. We ask for your prayers as the Guesthouse goes through this time of transition. The Rochester Christian Guesthouse Board of Directors Bro. David Messner Winthrop (Chair) Bro. Marti Knobloch Lester (Secretary) Bro. Kent Mogler, Minneapolis (Treasurer) Bro. Neil Schmidgall, Morris (Board member) Bro. Kent Banwart, West Bend (Vice-Chair) BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: We rejoice with Bro. Jon & Sis. Abby Hohulin as they were blessed with a baby girl, Aubrey Mae born on September 10th.
