I think you are lucky to have so much information to start with. I wouldn't be intimidated by not knowing German - you will learn what you need to know (I did), though obviously there is a certain depth of research we will never be able to do as non German speakers. Forgive me if these are basics you've already covered, but here are my suggestions:
Have you started with kartenmeister.com? You can plug in the names of your villages, and come up with the names of the Lutheran or Catholic parishes, and then see what church records have been microfilmed at familysearch.org. I did this and noted that a couple of your villages were in the parish of Tarnowke and the parish of Flatow, and it looks like familysearch has microfilmed Tarnowke church records.
When you start looking at the church records, you can decipher & translate the headings first. Familysearch.org has decent tutorials on deciphering both German type and the handwritten script. Another great resource is Edna Bentz's book "If I Can You Can Decipher Germanic Records" which has helped me decipher script from very different regions of Germany. (And for translation, people recommend Ernest Thode's German-English Genealogical Dictionary.) I've worked with Kreis Flatow records - I'm sure it must vary by area and by the individual writing in the books, but most of what I looked at was written in script that was legible without any help. Also, before the very first time I went in to the library to do my research, I wrote out my ancestors' names in German script - with the help of that familysearch.org tutorial I mentioned - so I knew what to look for.
I'm sure other people will have more suggestions. Good luck.
