February 16-19, Brownwood, Texas
Epiphany Ministry volunteers go into our juvenile prisons to share the love of Jesus Christ with incarcerated youth.  How you can help:

• Sign up at the Connection Center to be part of the prayer chain, to pray for the boys who will attend Epiphany weekend.
•  Purchase a meal ticket for only $5.00.  Each ticket will provide a lunch and a reminder to an incarcerated teen that he is not forgotten.                        

Thank-you for your support of these young souls. 

We are in need of Sunday School teachers for 4th grade and Area 56.  Subs are also needed for all grade levels. Lesson plans are sent to the teachers on Tuesdays and ALL materials are ready in the classroom on Sunday morning.  Lesson plans are scripted, so there is very little prep.  We are asking for volunteers to teach only 1-2 Sundays per month. Please contact Jennifer McDaniel.

Registration is open for our AUMC preschool.  Two, three and four day classes are available for ages 2-5. For more information visit aledo umc preschool or email Jayne Dawson. 

When we join the church, we pledge to support the life and ministry of the church with our financial gifts. That can get complicated on those weeks when we can't be here as the offering plate comes around. But through electronic giving, you remain faithful to your membership vows, even on those weeks when life takes you elsewhere. It's easy. It's safe. And it benefits both you and your church family. Setting it up is easy and only takes a few minutes. Contact Shari Birchell at sharibirchell@aledoumc.org to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account. Or go to aledoumc.org/give to use your credit or debit card.
