UPCOMING SERMON
"A Short Drive from God's Truth"
SCRIPTURE: Luke 4:21-30
A GREAT DAY IN THE KINGDOM
We live in a current social context that could use an infusion of scripture. In the midst of differences of opinion on any issue, we should agree to...
SERVICE SPOTLIGHT
What a generous congregation we have! You have donated a total of 174 items for the Bob Bull Share the Warmth coat drive. Through this ministry Aledo UMC reaches out to organizations that serve the homeless to truly “share the warmth” of our faith and abundance. Bob Bull was a tireless voice for people in need, and the churchwide coat drive is a part of his legacy of ministry to the least, the lost and the last.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
CONFIRMATION
Sunday, January 31st, 10:00am, Sanctuary

It’s that amazing time again! 2021 Confirmation class! All 7th grade students, or anyone in student ministry and has not already attended, is invited to attend these classes. We will have a short meeting Sunday, January 31st at 10:00am in the sanctuary for parents and students.
NEW BIBLE STUDY
Starting Wednesday, February 3rd, 6:00pm

Read the Bible in ninety days. It’s easier than you thought! Once you break it down into bite-sized pieces, what may have seemed to be a formidable challenge becomes doable and enjoyable. Pastor Joel will lead this study helping you to fulfill what for many Christians is a longstanding ambition: reading through the entire Bible. Purchase your participants guide from Amazon.
ACOLYTE TRAINING
Acolyte Training, Sunday, February 7th, 10:00am, Sanctuary

Greetings parents of 5-7th graders! We will begin acolytes in the 11:00am service starting February 21st. This year will look different, but your child will be able to participate in worship by bringing the light of Christ in the service and then taking it out into the world. What better way to start the Lenten season! There will be a quick training on February 7th at 10am in the Sanctuary for new acolytes. Please email thomaswilliams@aledoumc.org if you are interested in your child participating. If your child is in confirmation (7th grade), they will be acolyting as a part of their service requirement. I look forward to hearing from you!
