Announcements January 21, 2024

This evening is the quarterly potluck and singing at the Fellowship Center.  Supper is at 5:00.  Singing to follow at 6:30.  Note the singing time is earlier than posted on the calendar.


The wedding shower scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Fellowship Center has been moved to the church because of possible poor gravel road conditions. SHOWER HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL THURSDAY, JANUARY 25 @ 6PM (AS OF 1/22).


The Wapello mobile food pantry is scheduled for this Wednesday.  Exact time to be announced.


Our annual business meeting will be held Sunday, January 28th at 2:00 pm.  Anyone having business which should come before this meeting should contact Bros. Dave Lanz or Kyle Wagenbach by today.  Absentee ballots or minutes of the last meeting can be obtained from Bro. Kyle Wagenbach.  The full notice will be posted on the bulletin board.


We would like to make known the engagement of Sis. Allison Kuntz to Bro. Nathan Currier from Congerville, IL.  Nathan’s parents are Bro. Tim and Sis. Diana.  We wish them God's rich blessing as they anticipate marriage.


A few women’s Bible study groups have been meeting together for over 10 years. The ages of those participating are in their 20s-40s. The purpose of the women’s Bible study is to encourage one another in Christ, and to grow closer to each other and to God. Those currently in the groups would like to extend an opportunity for all women in the church, of all ages and in all seasons of life to participate. This would allow the groups to consist of a mix of younger, middle-aged, and older women. Typically, the groups meet monthly and the studies last approximately one year. After completing a study, the groups are mixed up again for the next study. Before proceeding or making detailed plans we would like to gauge interest and get feedback to guide the process. In order to do this, a survey link will be sent via email https://forms.gle/FDiwzBhwX1g3K9tZ9 and paper copies will be available by the bulletin board for those who don’t have email. All feedback is welcomed and encouraged from both those who are and are not interested in participating. Please have your surveys completed or given/mailed to brothers Dave or Mark by February 5th.

One clarification because of a question I received after church. This survey is intended to be sent in by women only. Those married would definitely be encouraged to discuss with their husband.

For those not in church today, I made some comments after the afternoon service adding to this announcement.
