Guest Preacher DeAndrea Dare
Sunday, January 6th
Join us as we ring in the New Year! Reverend DeAndrea Dare will be guest preaching this Sunday, at both services.
We're Reading the New Testament in 2019!
Are you ready to learn more about Jesus? Start the New Year with your church family as we embark on a yearlong commitment to read the entire New Testament together. Each weekday (Monday through Friday) we will read one chapter from the New Testament. Each Sunday Pastor Lee will be preaching from one of the five chapters we read that week. The weekly reading plan will be included in each week's enews and posted on Sunday mornings. You also can sign up to receive a text each morning that will take you to the day's passage online. Simply text BIBLE to 68398.
This week's reading plan:
January 7 - 1 Corinthians 1 January 8 - 1 Corinthians 2 January 9 - 1 Corinthians 3 January 10 - 1 Corinthians 4 January 11 - 1 Corinthians 5

On the Go Devo
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.
