This Sunday's Message: "Sign of Faith"
Judges 6:36-40

Someone asked me the other day why I have not preached about President Trump's controversial "travel ban," the executive order that suspends the U.S. refugee program and restricts entry to people from a seven Middle Eastern countries. This person had seen other pastors blogging on this issue or weighing in on Facebook. You may have even seen...

New Sermon Series ... and a little something extra
|
Last Sunday we began a new sermon series called
From Zero to Hero. This four-week series will be a character study of the Old Testament hero Gideon, whose story we find in the Book of Judges. Gideon's story isn't simply one of a military hero, but of a man struggling with faith and what it means to follow God. Each Sunday we will explore one aspect of the story in worship. Then grab your Bible and join Pastor Lee on Facebook each Wednesday as we delve deeper into this ancient -- but altogether modern - story. Check the Aledo UMC facebook page on Wednesday.

Support Prison Ministries
|
Epiphany weekends: February 17-20
Please help support
ministries reaching out to those who are in
prison! Several members of our congregation are part of
ministry teams that go into Texas
prisons, offering Christ's love and redemption. Epiphany
Ministries share the story of God's love, grace, and forgiveness to incarcerated youth; Kairos
Ministries offer the same to adults who are imprisoned.
For $5, you can purchase a meal ticket, which provides a meal for an inmate participating in a
ministry weekend. Your meal ticket offers them a tangible reminder that they still have value and that they are not forgotten. You can also sign-up to pray for the weekend! Simply add your name to the prayer chain at the Connection Center and make a commitment to pray for all those involved in the weekends: the inmates, the
ministry team, the
prison chaplain and staff.
We have an Epiphany weekend coming up
Feb. 17-20, for incarcerated teenage girls. We are also supporting a new Epiphany Ministry in Kansas, the first weekend on February. Please sign-up today to support the Lord's work to the least, the last, and the lost in our
prisons. For more info, contact
Trudy Smith
