Welcome
to
Aldersgate United Methodist Church
DECEMBER 28, 2014
We are so glad you are here! If you are new to Aldersgate
or a first time visitor, please stop by the Welcome Centers,
located outside the Sanctuary and in the lobby of the Family
Life Center. There you will find lots of information about
Aldersgate and all the activities and worship events during this season. Don’t forget to
pick up your “Welcome Bag” located at the entrances near the Welcome Center.
Child care is available for children ages 2-3 years old and infants
during all three Worship Services. The Nursery is located in the
Family Life Center – Rooms 102 and 104 or ask any Greeter or
Usher.
For younger worshipers, at the 11:00 am service, we offer worship services geared
toward children. This is in Room 102 (for 2-4 year olds) and Room 107 (for kindergarteners grade). Children exit the sanctuary after the Doxology and
are ready to be picked up in Rooms 102 or 107 after the worship
service. Parents who would like for their children to receive communion with them (the 1st Sunday of each month) should keep
their children in worship. The elementary age children will
receive communion during their time together.
The UTH at Aldersgate UMC are a group of students in grades 6th
through 12th. Our main weekly gathering is on Sunday Nights from
5:00-7:00 pm. We meet in the Family Life Center gym from 5:006:00 pm and then move upstairs to the UTH Room from 6:00-7:00
pm. What to expect: Large group games, a free dinner prepared by
parents, live worship and music, and a time to speak about our lives
and dig into God's Word. We are a very active youth group with many
opportunities to serve God and neighbor. We hope you will join us!
All are welcome!

From the author: “Galatians is all about the gospel - the gospel all of us
need throughout all of our lives. It's dynamite, and I pray that its powerful
message explodes in your heart as you read this book.”
Please join us at 6:30 am on Tuesday mornings in the Wesley room! You
can pick up a copy of the book from the church office, or contact John
Hall at [email protected].
