OUR RELATIONSHIPS, OUR HEALTH, AND OUR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE

Sundays in June, 12PM, MAC Center

Featuring Rev. Kent Kilbourne, Dr. Larry Burrows, and Dr. Lee Ancona (retired educator). A light lunch will be served each Sunday.

• June 4: An overview with Larry, Lee, and Kent
• June 11: The Few Things That Matter (Rev. Kent Kilbourne)... Very few things in our marriages matter, but the few things that do matter, matter immensely. We'll discuss what makes a good marriage great, and we'll look at those things that matter most.
• June 18: What's on Your Bucket List? (Dr. Lee Ancona)... What hopes and dreams and activities would you like to experience in your older years? What's holding you back? How can you make every day worth getting up for?
• June 25: Maintaining Our Health (Dr. Larry Burrows)... Our ability to stay healthy and stay ahead of our health concerns are critical to living life as fully as possible in our older years.

CAMP HOPE

Tuesday Evenings in June

AUMC will sponsor Camp Hope again this summer in the Oak Hill neighborhood (Hudson Oaks)! Camps offer low-income families an opportunity for recreation, nutrition info, books, crafts, and Bible stories! We will have camp Tuesday evenings, 6:30-8:00pm, in June. We need lots of folks to help make camp a success! All volunteers must complete the Ministry Safe certification, and there will be a volunteer training on Tuesday, May 30 at 6:30pm in the Mac Center. Sign-up at the Welcome Center or contact Trudy for more info.

CARE PORTAL

Aledo UMC has joined other area churches for Care Portal, a program that allows us to be "on-call" to meet the needs of children in foster care in East Parker County. Sometimes a foster family needs an extra twin bed or a larger microwave to accommodate additional children in their home. Or sometimes to return home, parents need items for their children, such as school shoes.

Would you be interested and willing to be on our AUMC text list? If so, when a need arises, we will let you know and perhaps you can help, either with the item or money toward that item. Contact Trudy to register or for more info.

MANNA ROOM FOOD PANTRY

If you would like to help feed our neighbors, we are currently short of the following items:

Tomato soup

Vegetable soup

Vienna sausages* (most needed)

Canned chili

We are very well stocked with all other items.

We appreciate your faithful support of this ministry! Please no glass jars, bottles, or other breakable containers, and we cannot accept items past their expiration dates. Donations may be placed in the marked bin in the Narthex. Thank you!
