A Great Day in the Kingdom
As it is now my third week as pastor of Aledo Methodist Church, memories abound in recollection of the past adventurous and wonderful years in ministry Christie and I have shared together. Accompanying those memories...
This will be a drive by ice cream event for the entire church! JulieBean's
Ice Cream truck will be parked under the portico in front of the Children's
building. This will be your opportunity to meet Pastor Joel in person (and
masked) as he serves you a frozen treat!
Please make a sign with your family's name to display in your car window. Pull
up with windows closed and your masks off so Pastor Joel can see your face! Then he will serve you your frozen treat of choice!
Virtual VBS
This exciting virtual event - "Where in the World is God?" - is open to any child ages 4 years through (entering) 6th grade. Our 30 minute online program will be held on Wednesdays at 6pm starting July 8th through July 31st.
Invite your friends and neighbors to join in the fun!
Aledo UMC's Manna Room has been open and busy the last two months. An average of 20 bags a week are being given out. If you would like to help feed our neighbors, the following items are needed:
Instant potatoes
Canned fruit
Tuna
Vienna Sausages
Oatmeal
Mac and cheese
Canned Ravioli
Saltine crackers
Donations can be placed in the marked bin in the Narthex. Thank you for your faithfulness in feeding our hungry friends.
Need Assistance?
If you or anyone you know is in need of food Aledo UMC has Manna bags ready to go. Hours to pick up a bag of canned goods are Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon-3:00pm, in the Narthex. If you live in Parker County and are needing help on a utility bill, please email info@aledoumc.org or call 817-441-8329.
Stay Connected With Your Aledo UMC Family
Aledo UMC has heeded the warnings from health officials and temporarily closed the church offices for the foreseeable future. We are still the church, sohere are several ways for our AUMC family to stay connected through the week:
As we move into virtual worship and other gatherings for the foreseeable future, now is a great time to connect with online giving to ensure that the ministries and outreach of the church are not interrupted.
There are two basic ways to give electronically, and both are quick and simple.
The best option is to give via a direct transfer from your checking account. This is fee-free for you and the church. Simply fill out the accompanying ACH form and send it in to the church office along with a voided check. You can mail it to Aledo UMC, PO Box 126, Aledo, TX 76008.
Or you can text "aledoumc" to 77977. This will connect you to a service called PushPay, which will allow you to give electronically to the church using either a credit card or debit card. You will receive a text back with instructions guiding you through setting up your gift. You can give either a one-time gift or set up weekly or monthly giving through PushPay.
