Today from 11:15 - Noon at a round table in the Reed Room you
can become part of a discussion on
the Scripture and sermon of the day. Contact Mike at

or
a Bible Study group? Or maybe you feel called to lead and join a
small
group? If you would like to step out in faith and answer that
call
please contact: [email protected]
Are you interested in "reaching
new people" with God's love and developing relationships in
the
community outside of the church? There will be a brief one hour
meeting this Monday May
4th 6:00 - 7:00 PM at the Starbucks at Fashion Square Mall. Come
find
out about the mission!

emergency
without food. Monetary donations are also welcome. If you would
like
to make a monetary donation, please make your check payable
to
Aldersgate United Methodist Church, note "Emergency Food

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom
come,
thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For
thine is the
kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Last year we started what, we hope, will become an awesome
annual tradition! So here's to year number two!
As Youth Group wraps up for the year we invite all youth,
siblings, family, friends, church members, community members, etc.
to join us for an end-of-the-year potluck at Aldersgate UMC on
Sunday, May 17th in the Reed Room. Following the potluck (which
begins at 5pm) the Youth Praise Band will perform a concert in the
Sanctuary, blessing us with all the songs they've worked so hard on
over the past year. This is also a great time to bring those 5th
graders who will be moving into the Youth Group next year so they
can get to know the awesome young folks they'll be hanging out with
soon!
For the potluck - please bring a main dish, side dish, or
dessert to share. Drinks and paper products will be provided.
