This Sunday (May 20, 2012) at Aldersgate  -  Children's Sunday

This Sunday we will be celebrating the children and youth of our church family.  A group of youth will be sharing the message during both services, and all of the church school classes will be leading us in worship during the 10:45 a.m. service.  This will also be the last Sunday of church school. 

All are welcome to join us after the 10:45 a.m. worship service for a barbecue potluck luncheon.  We will provide the hamburgers and hot dogs, you may bring a side dish, salad or dessert to share.  After we eat, we will have our annual softball game – bring your mitt!

We have so much to celebrate this Sunday, remembering that we are all connected together through Jesus Christ.  Blessings.

The schedule of events for the coming week is available online.

Prayer Partners:  Aldersgate has been known from the beginning as “the church with the warm heart” and indeed, we are proud to retain that association.  We are also known as “a praying church” with prayer at the center and flowing out from the center.  Like the founder of the Methodist Church, our hearts are continually warmed by our worship times together…leading us to service.  Our e-mail Prayer Partner Ministry is an effective and meaningful way to keep our people and all people and situations in God’s loving presence.  You are invited to join us!  We are entrusted with confidential information at times, and our prayer requests are for that and not as an information sharing means of communication.  There are times, we may not know the whys of our prayers and we may not even have the names…but God knows and that is all that is needed. Your life will be richly blessed by praying for others, and e-mail is a most effective and quick way to communicate a need or a celebration.  If you would like to participate, please contact Joanne Snook at snook71@verizon.net and you will join about forty others in this important Aldersgate ministry of service.
