A testimony is scheduled for this coming Saturday evening at 7:00 PM for Dominic Gasser. A meal is planned on Sunday afternoon for Dominic and his family and all are invited. A sign-up sheet for kitchen help and food donations is posted on the bulletin board. 

Our Operations Fund collection is scheduled for the next two Sundays, March 1 & 8. The Operations Fund finances the operation of our national church, including costs for Elder Body meetings and travel, liability insurance, specific Elder-oriented ACCFS and Elder’s Teaching Resource support, as well as denomination-wide supporting services, such as Onward Media. 

The updated 2026 Rittman Church Directories are now available on the table in the West Lobby. A limited quantity of the updated Smithville directories are also available. 

We are developing a medical response team to be available for medical issues occurring at church. Anyone with a medical background who is willing to participate, please sign-up in the Library/First Aid room. Participation would involve being willing to be contacted by the ushers if a need arises. Further information will follow for those who sign up. For questions, please contact Sis. Deanna Lanz or Sis. Juliet Nieman. 

The next Silver Lining reader-submitted article is set for May 2026.
