* Plan to pray and sign a prayer-link in the prayer chain for the 

incarcerated men 

* Pick-up a cookie recipe and bake cookies for the prisoners in the 

Allred Unit 

* Purchase a $5 meal ticket; help feed the men & remind them that 

they are not forgotten

this life-changing ministry!

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.
