Student Ministry Evaluation
At Aledo UMC Student Ministries we value your input about the ministry, the leadership, and the tools used to turn the hearts of students towards Christ. Please take a few moments to offer your input. It is completely anonymous (unless you would like to share your name), and is designed to help us plan events, studies, and activities.  We are asking that the evaluation forms please be submitted by July 4th so that we have plenty of time to work through them.

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.
