Revive Student Ministry Mission Trip Fundraiser
It's that time again, time for summer mission trips and we need you to help us get there. Starting this Sunday, in the Narthex, we will be hosting the last fundraiser for this summers mission trips. The envelope fundraiser! You will choose an envelope that corresponds with the amount that you would like to donate to the trips, then you will address that UNSEALED envelope to yourself. While on mission trip a student will write to you, let you know how the week is going and thank you for helping them go be the hands and feet of Christ in this world. This is a very important need that our students have, to be able to go out into the world and love as God has called us all to. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Volunteer Caregivers Needed
|
Volunteers are needed for the infant through 4 year old rooms during the 9:00 service, 10:00 Sunday school hour, and 11:00 service times. Please email
Barbara Leevy if you're willing to help on a scheduled rotating basis or be put on a call list. It takes a lot of help to fill the times slots needed to care for our littlest people.

AUMC is in need of additional ushers for the 11:00 service. We currently have four teams which rotate ushering monthly so your commitment would only be for three months each year. For more information or to sign-up for a team, please email Scott Sadler.

Sometimes life keeps you away from church
on Sunday, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out. Our weekly ON THE GO DEVO keeps you talking about what your church family is talking about, even if you can't be here. You can subscribe to have the DEVO delivered to your mobile device each week by texting ONTHEGO to 68398.

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.
