Ministry News
2nd Service Ushers Needed
Youth and adult volunteers are needed to help usher at the 2nd service on a regular monthly basis. We already have 2 ushers per Sunday but we would like 3-4 ushers per Sunday. We need help at the 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month. JUST ONCE A MONTH! Duties include handing out bulletins, lighting/extinguishing candles, helping with the offering, tiding up the sanctuary after the service. Please sign up on Sunday's attention form or contact the church office if you can help.
No Kids' Club Sunday
There is no Kids' Club this Sunday during the first service due to a lack of volunteers.
Please
CLICK HERE
to sign up to host a Kids' Club. It is easy and fun and a great way to serve the church. Kids' Club is a fellowship time for kids during the first worship service. There are typically between 4-15 kids present that range from 3 years old to tween age. Share a part of your story and your passions with the kids - they love getting to know members of their Aldersgate Family. Play games or do an art project with them. Talk with Jen Hoerber about ideas that could work or to find someone to host with you!

Outreach & Missions
Gleaning Volunteer Needed
Aldersgate has an ongoing gleaning project with Starbucks in Factoria. We collect their leftover pastries and distribute them to homeless shelters. We need another volunteer for the third Friday of the month to collect the food and deliver it to the church freezer. Please sign up on Sunday's attendance form if you can help. And many thanks to all the gleaning volunteers who assist with this project! Contact Jan Durham for more information.
Food Bank 5000 Challenge
Back in April the children learned about the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 and how everyone's small donation of food to the food bank helps to feed many people. The kids decided to challenge the congregation to donate 5000 food items. The smiley face chart hanging in the hallway helps us visualize what 5000 actually looks like. Please bring in food items and color in a smiley face for each food item to track our progress. You can see we are more than half way to our goal.
Thrift Shop Volunteers Needed
Saint Margaret's Thrift Shop, just down the road from us by Newport High School, is looking for some volunteers to help at the Thrift Shop. They need people to process donations and also to work the sales floor. As a volunteer, you will receive a store discount and first pick of the items donated. What a deal! St. Margaret's Thrift Shop provides clothing and household goods to those in need. Excess donations are sent on to the Salvation Army and support is given to the residents of Andrew's Glen, a low-income apartment complex that Aldersgate helps with a monthly meal. If you are interested, contact the Thrift Shop at 425-641-6830 or [email protected].
