We are preparing to move into our final round of Holy Conversations as part of the As For Me & My House Visioning Process. This last conversation will focus on the question, Who is God calling us to be as a church?
You can sign up to be a part of the Conversation here.
As For Me & My House
is a six-month visioning process undertaken by the people of Aledo United Methodist Church to prepare us to follow God's call into the future. In many ways, we stand at a crossroads as a community of faith. Our community is projected to grow at an unprecedented rate in the coming years, and we want to grow with it. For that to happen, we need to be prepared and to plan strategically to move boldly into the future. But it's not just about getting bigger. The future -- our future -- has to be about following God's call and becoming who God is calling us to be.
Your voice needs to be heard!

Sunday, March 19 - 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM - Gathering Room
