Atlas Sunday School Class
Atlas SS, comprised of young adults and parents, navigate today's world by thriving in great discussion and debate about current issues in society, as well as God's directions for us as a

Atlas is taking the next step to help lead within the church and in our communities, all the while teaching, learning and praying as Christians, neighbors, and fun-loving friends. Atlas is always open to new visitors and members in all walks of life and meets in the main room of the Annex.
Currently, Atlas members are involved in all parts of AUMC, as leaders in committees, planners, volunteers, church worship and praise leaders. Atlas SS is also advancing in new ideas to the church such as the AUMC Talent Show and helping teach AUMC's children about God and their faith journeys.

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 to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account. Or go to
Aledo UMC to use your credit or debit card.
