Last year, Bob Bull reminded us that there were people throughout the metroplex needing warm coats, and Aledo UMC did a successful drive. Our beloved Bob Bull passed away this year, and in his memory, we are beginning another coat drive. From now through January 19, Aledo UMC will be collecting gently-used
coats to be distributed by
Beautiful Feet ministry in Fort Worth. Donations can be placed in the donation bin marked "Bob's Coat Drive" in the Narthex.
All sizes are needed, children through adult!
Please make sure
coats
are clean and in "working order".

We need nursery volunteers to provide care for children 4 years-old and under on Sunday mornings. This can be a one hour commitment so you still have time for Sunday school and worship. Please contact Teresa Chisum for more information.

Do you have a child in 5th or 6th grade that attends the 11:00am service? Please email Thomas Williams to have your child participate in worship.

Aledo UMC has several trained Stephen Ministers, members of the congregation who have received 50 hours of caregiving training to minister to people going through difficult times. A Stephen Minister will meet with you---privately and confidentially---on a weekly basis to listen, care, support and encourage you, and to remind you of Christ's presence in your life. There is no fee for a Stephen Minister. To learn more about Stephen Ministry, contact Trudy Smith, Director of Congregational Care.

Epiphany Ministry volunteers go into our juvenile prisons to share the love of Jesus Christ with incarcerated youth. Here's how you can help:
* Sign up at the Connection Center to be part of the prayer chain, to pray for the girls who will attend
* Purchase a meal ticket for only $5.00. Each ticket will provide a lunch to an incarcerated teenager
Thank you for your support of these young souls!

Thank you for helping feed our neighbors in Parker County.

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.
