Class resumes Wednesday, September 5th, 6:00pm, Gathering Room
Our English word Dialogue comes from the Greek Dialogos. Dialogue is the sharing of ideas with the goal of each party growing in understanding. Beginning Sept. 5, we will jump back into our attempt to live further into that ideal. Each week Pastor Lee leads a discussion into the previous Sunday's sermon text, encouraging participants to delve deeper into Scripture and the larger message it contains. This is a serious study for Disciples who are seeking to engage the Bible and their faith at a deep level. Email Pastor Lee for more information.

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.
