The Road Less Traveled 
 
I read a blog the other day that suggested that churches will be forever changed because of the COVID-19 Virus. It was a sobering thought initially because I think we all believe that things will get back to normal - eventually. We don't know the time frame yet, but eventually we will all...

To Commune or No?

This Sunday, April 5th, will serve not only as this year's Palm Sunday, but also the first "first Sunday" since we have moved to an online worship format. Almost always on the first Sunday we come together in all of our worship services to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. It is something that many of us look forward to each month, a moment that literally provides spiritual sustenance for our hungry souls. But our current circumstances posed a quandary for your worship team - namely should we move to some sort of online Communion during these unique circumstances?

Pastoral Change in July  
 
On behalf of Bishop Mike Lowry and District Superintendent Louis Carr, the Aledo UMC Staff Parish Relations Committee is announcing a pastoral appointment for the 2020-2021 year. After much discernment and prayer, the cabinet has elected to appoint a new senior pastor to Aledo UMC beginning July 1, 2020. 

Pastor Lee has been appointed to First United Methodist Church of Euless effective July 1 st . We sincerely thank Pastor Lee for his gifts and talents for the last 6 years. We wish him and his family the very best and know that FUMC Euless will greatly benefit. We will be planning a celebration for Pastor Lee later this year but don't hesitate to drop him a note. 

This summer, we welcome Rev. Joel M. Robbins to Aledo UMC. Pastor Joel is currently the senior pastor of Ovilla UMC in Ellis county, where he has guided that church's growth for the last 10 years. We are very excited that Pastor Joel is coming to Aledo UMC. 

Electronic Giving
 
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.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.
