I am a huge Star Trek fan. I loved the shows, loved the movies and have 
even read a few of the spin-off novels. Never has the genre of science
fiction been used so well to comment on the complicated nature of
contemporary life. I recently started watching the most recent of the

Sign up at the Connection Center to be part of the prayer chain to pray for the girls who will attend Epiphany weekend.

Are you taking advantage of electronic giving?
|
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.
