Matthew 18:21-35

In the 15 years I spent working as a newspaper editor, I was no stranger to the general criticism and mistrust of my industry. Newspapers were out of touch. Newspapers were dinosaurs.

Sunday, May 14th - May 28th
We are seeking faith friends and family in our church to sponsor our youth
to help make the Youth Mission Trips a reality while also creating some amazing new
church connections!
For each $20 donation you receive an envelope with details inside to write a letter of encouragement to one of our youth while on their trip.
Look for our display in the narthex.
We look forward to this wonderful opportunity to build relationships with our youth and our congregation!

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.
