College Age Sunday School

Beginning Sunday, May 19th, 10:00am
The college-age Sunday school class will resume gathering for the summer. We meet in the ER (building behind the Youth House) at 10:00 am each Sunday for fellowship and study. Led by those in the class when we return home during breaks, this group of college-age students spend time looking at the Bible, our United Methodist beliefs and our personal spiritual journeys. Current high school seniors are invited to join us on June 1st when they are promoted. Please share with your returning college students so they know there is a place for them at Aledo UMC!

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.
