The Road Less Traveled
I use a paper planner. That may sound odd in a digital age - and I have fully embraced the digital age - but I have simply found it helpful to physically write things like goals and task lists, rather than typing them in on my phone. One of the features of the planner I use is an emphasis on ritual. There is a place in the...

Vacation Bible School 2020
COVID-19 has derailed many of our children's ministries for the last few months; and unfortunately, this year's Vacation Bible School ("Rock Railway") is another one. Aledo UMC staff and leaders, based on the recommended CDC guidance, have made the tough decision to cancel this year's Vacation Bible School -
as we have known it!
Alternatively, we have something else in mind! We are in the process of planning a virtual Bible school with fun activities, so stay tuned for details!
Have you always had a desire to visit the Holy Land? Do you want to walk in the places where Jesus led? Would you like to travel to Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the Jordan River, and Galilee? All of these are on the list of places to visit on our Holy Land trip, October 15th-24th, 2020! For more information email Thomas Williams.
Need Assistance?
If you or anyone you know is in need of food Aledo UMC has Manna bags ready to go. Hours to pick up a bag of canned goods are Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon-3:00pm, in the Narthex. If you live in Parker County and are needing help on a utility bill, please email info@aledoumc.org or call 817-441-8329.
Aledo UMC has heeded the warnings from health officials and temporarily closed the church offices for the foreseeable future. We are still the church, sohere are several ways for our AUMC family to stay connected through the week:
Sunday
10 am - Adult Sunday school - Facebook Live (Aledo UMC Page)
As we move into virtual worship and other gatherings for the foreseeable future, now is a great time to connect with online giving to ensure that the ministries and outreach of the church are not interrupted.
There are two basic ways to give electronically, and both are quick and simple.
The best option is to give via a direct transfer from your checking account. This is fee-free for you and the church. Simply fill out the accompanying ACH form and send it in to the church office along with a voided check. You can mail it to Aledo UMC, PO Box 126, Aledo, TX 76008.
Or you can text "aledoumc" to 77977. This will connect you to a service called PushPay, which will allow you to give electronically to the church using either a credit card or debit card. You will receive a text back with instructions guiding you through setting up your gift. You can give either a one-time gift or set up weekly or monthly giving through PushPay.
