Thank You From the Bull Family
|
To our AUMC friends and family,
There is a light that shines in the darkness. Where hope transcends through a beautiful and great gift ~ Agape love.
How do we express the gratitude that we carry in our heart? When I asked for Bob to be surrounded in love ~ we all were. The abundant expressions of thoughtfulness and generosity overwhelmed us. We were amazed and blown away by the response of so many ~ whether you were the one to roll up your sleeves to dig in, provide nourishment, care, cards, calls or to visit. You were there to celebrate and share Bob with us ~ a life well-lived and devoted to God. Your acts of kindness warmed our hearts and the stories made us smile. Your words brought comfort ~ your prayers brought peace. You gave a most precious and treasured gift of self, in whatever form was needed.
Thank you for caring and reaching out to us in our time of need ~ for being our church family. Please accept our upmost deepest and sincere gratitude for the out pouring and genuine Agape love conveyed to this family.
In Christ's Love,
Trish and the family of Bob Bull

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 to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account. Or go to
Aledo UMC to use your credit or debit card.
