Aledo UMC provides loving outreach to members of our congregation who are home-bound or residing in assisted-living homes.

If you have some time to give and would like to serve in this ministry, please contact Trudy Smith and register to attend the training luncheon.
Come Play!
You are needed as a nursery volunteer! As a nursery volunteer you provide care and play for children 4 years-old and under on Sunday mornings. This can be a one hour once/month commitment so you still have time for Sunday school and worship. Please contact Teresa Chisum for more information.

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.
