Last month, in the wake of the devastation left by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, Bishop Lowry called for the churches of the Central Texas Conference to take up a special offering to support UMCOR's Hurricane Relief efforts. As expected, the response has been excellent and Bishop Lowry would like to simply say thank you - to you!

The holidays will soon be approaching, and that can be a difficult time for those who have lost a loved one. The Service of Hope provides a time to remember those loved ones who are no longer with us. Please feel free to invite family and friends who might benefit from being part of this special service, as well.

Once a month, we will be hosting Family Nights on a Wednesday evening. Be sure to add these to your calendar!

• October 25- Trunk or Treat
• November 15- Aledo Family Thanksgiving Potluck and Craft
• December 13- Cookie Exchange and Cookies for the Troops

Please note that these events are for the whole family and parents should attend with their children.

It takes a lot of supplies to do the fun things in children's Sunday School and on Wednesday nights so Children's Ministry is asking for the following donations:

Acrylic paint, patterned duct tape, water color paper, pipe cleaners, round plastic tablecloths

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.
