The Road Less Traveled 
   
Earlier this week Melissa, the kids and I went to see Toy Story 4. We were, by far, the oldest group in the theater, but I didn't care. My family grew up with Toy Story.

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.  
 
July 1 - Acts 17
July 2 - Acts 18
July 3 - Acts 19
July 4 - Acts 20
July 5 - Acts 21   
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.
