What Happened at KidJam on April 14, 2024
| |
As part of our new series, "Non-Avengers," we're excited to inspire children to learn about and emulate the Bible heroes who practiced forgiveness. We recently explored the story of the Prodigal Son, and held our first "Talent Market," where children had the opportunity to use their talent money to purchase cool toys, school supplies, and other items. It's inspiring to see children learn valuable lessons and have fun at the same time! | |

Invitation to Volunteer for Sunday Supper
Sunday Supper, a collaboration of six local congregations, including Aldersgate UMC, has for 13 years provided a freshly cooked meal and groceries every week to the Tustin area community. Guests are families, seniors, unhoused individuals, and anyone who wants a meal and a safe place of acceptance. We are a beloved community.
AUMC is inviting you to join our dedicated corps of volunteers on the third Sunday of every month. Joyce and Gary Stenberg have volunteered for years, so ask them about their experience to learn more.
Jobs include: cooks, platers, setup team, servers, grocery line distributors, and the ever-humble cleanup crew. Most jobs are one – two hours on a Sunday afternoon. You don’t have to volunteer each month. Youth must be 13 or older to volunteer.
Volunteers must be COVID vaccinated. To add your name to the volunteer list, please email Ann DiPlacito, adiplaci@uci.edu. This is a great way to meet new people and share God’s unconditional love.

Be Love (Missions and Outreach) Zoom Meeting May 14, 2023
Topic: Be Love Ministries
Time: This is a recurring meeting:
Every 2nd Tuesday of the month, 7 - 8 pm (Zoom)
The Be Love (Missions and Outreach) Team will meet on every 2nd Tuesday, from 7 – 8 pm, via Zoom (link below).
The meetings are open to anyone who is interested in learning about what is happening in Missions and Outreach (Be Love) at UUMC, or who has new ideas to share. You may join whenever you want; no commitment is needed.
If you are interested in contributing to the agenda, receiving the agenda before the meeting, or receiving a report after the meeting, please send your email address to me at joycestenberg2@gmail.com.
Otherwise, the meeting link will be in Constant Contact every week, or the week before each meeting, and the meeting report will be part of the Be Love Report for Visions and Strategies (which I will also send to you if you provide me with your email address).
The reason for these meetings is to have a venue for exchanging ideas, planning, reporting, and requesting assistance. Hopefully, this will be helpful to us as a congregation as we go about the work of being Jesus’s hands and feet in our community and world.
Feel free to join on any 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7 pm (meetings should last no more than an hour). No need to RSVP. I will be on Zoom starting at 7 each 2nd Tuesday unless I post otherwise in Constant Contact.
Be Love!

"Join us for Brunch Bunch in the Center of Warmth (Williams Hall) every Wednesday morning at 9:30 am.
We are discussing the book "Mere Christianity," which is a beloved classic from the mid-twentieth century. The book was written by a once obscure Oxford professor of medieval literature during WWII for broadcasting on the BBC. It is one of the most popular introductions to the Christian faith ever written.
To join the discussion, please contact Mickey Chase at wmchase@cox.net.

Living Water, Not Living Coffee
Most of us need a morning boost to kickstart our day, and for many, that means a cup of coffee or a specialty beverage.
However, it's important to note that not all beverages are welcomed in our worshiping space.
To maintain a clean and welcoming environment for everyone, we kindly request that you enjoy your coffee and other drinks outside and only bring plain water inside the Sanctuary.
Thank you for your cooperation!
