4. GriefShare Support Group
A grief recovery ministry is being held at the Goodfield AC Fellowship Hall that will greatly benefit you or those in your church family experiencing the loss of a spouse, child or close family member. GriefShare is a faith-based program designed so that the meetings are a safe space to share our grief struggles with others through videos & participant interaction. The next session begins Jan. 13, 2025, and will be held for 13 consecutive weeks from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. If you want to learn more about this excellent program go to https://www.griefshare.org/ministries/206219 or contact: goodfieldgriefshare@gmail.com • We would be happy to answer any questions about the program. Blessings, Alan & Joanne Roth 309.448.2631
5. Wednesday, January 15, 7:00pm – Annual Business Meeting
The meeting will be a brief overview of the church funds with our normal financial handout available. Please plan to attend and see how your church has been blessed this past year. If you are not able to attend in person, please contact Sis Dannelle Zeller to get a link for the live stream. After the meeting, there will be a shortened service. The meeting and service will be held during the normal Wednesday night service time.
6. Sunday, January 19 - Family Recognition Service
This shortened afternoon church service is intended to recognize the new babies that have been born into our church during 2024. While this is an encouragement to the parents to raise these children in God-fearing homes, it is also an opportunity and reminder to the entire church family to be involved in each other’s lives as we go through life.
