We are missing 6 maroon Lord's Acre aprons. They belong to the church and will be used by 

volunteers helping next year. If you have one of these aprons, please return it to the church.  Thank you!

 

The Staff-Parish Relations Team is pleased to announce that Megan Pritchard has joined our staff as the Director of Children & Family Ministries.  Megan is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and comes to us from Arlington Heights United Methodist Church.  Please welcome Megan to the Aledo UMC family.  You can reach out to her at [email protected]. 

Every week, our Manna Room provides food for families in need in our community. We are currently running low on the following items:

 

* Tuna/Chicken Helper
* Crackers (in sleeves) and cornbread mix (ex. Jiffy)
* Oatmeal (in canisters) and cereal
* Spam or other canned luncheon meat

 

Thank you for your faithfulness in helping feed our hungry neighbors! 

As a result of a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous, Aledo UMC is now the proud owner of a four-passenger electric golf cart. The donor intended the vehicle to be used to extend our hospitality to the farthest reaches of our parking lots on Sunday mornings.

 

With the donation of the golf cart, we are a huge step closer to making that dream a reality. But now we need drivers. So ladies, gentlemen, if you would like to donate a few minutes of your time on Sunday morning to help shuttle worshipers to and from the main building, email Pastor Lee. We will have this ministry up and running as soon as we have folks behind the wheel. 

 

Volunteers are needed to help in the Nursery through 4-yearold classrooms. Times needed are 9:00am service and 10:00am Sunday School. Monthly, once a month, twice a month or on call positions available. No outside prep needed. Come have fun with us. Please email Barbara Leevy to sign up! 

ACS is our church database that is available to our members.  You may visit our website and find the "Log In" in the upper right corner.  To log in, start with the email address the church has for you, then follow the prompts.

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 [email protected] to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account. Or go to aledoumc.org/give to use your credit or debit card.
