As most of you are aware there are a number of our smaller churches that receive minister support from the larger churches. We thank you for your support in prayer and travel as we have served during 2025. The 2026 schedule for our Rittman ministers to serve these congregations is posted on the bulletin board and is on the Minister Travel   page of the website.  If you have any questions, please see Bro. Tom who oversees our rotation assignments, or speak with the brother who has the individual assignment. We encourage you to continue supporting our ministering brothers when serving these smaller congregations. Also, if you are traveling in the proximity of these smaller churches, we would encourage you to worship with them.

It’s not too late to sign up for the 2026 Cultivating Connections Marriage Conference, titled “Hand in Hand”! In our current culture, connecting is what we do. But do we connect well with our spouse? ACCFS hosts Cultivating Connections Marriage Conferences annually to help strengthen marriage relationships. The conferences consist of a combination of main sessions and smaller breakouts, and they are geared toward marriages of all ages. The next conference will be February 21-22 in Goodfield, IL.
