NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS - We
are growing again! A new Sunday school class began on
April 11th. We meet in the Family Life
Center room 206 at 9:45 AM. The class begins with a time of
fellowship and getting to know each other followed by study and
discussion at 10:00 AM. Nursery is available for those who have
children. The class is focused on persons in their 20s &
30s. We invite you to come and ljoin this new class as we reach
out to those in this segment of our congregation.

SUNDAY MORNING COFFEE & PASTRIES
- The Sunday Coffee Fellowship Committee invites everyone to enjoy
the complimentary fresh brewed coffee and delicious pastry
selections offered each Sunday morning in the Family Life Center
vestibule before Sunday school. Donations that were made during
the "coffee fellowship time" to help offset expenses have been
appreciated but will no longer be collected. During the past four
years, the accumulated "Sunday Coffee Fund" ended each year with a
very nice surplus. These extra funds were directed by the Sunday
Coffee Fellowship Committee towards the general operating account,
were used to purchase the Family Life Center Christmas tree and to
purchase the new greenery that is used in the Sanctuary during the
Advent season. Thanks to all of the generous support of this
fellowship mission at Aldersgate. Please join us each Sunday
morning for continued good conversation and fellowship.

KIds Own Worship has
returned. We have a new program
entitled Children Worship. The children will learn
about why we do what we do in our Worship services. Kids Own
Worship will meet every Sunday except for the first Sunday of
each month. This way the children may participate with their
families in communion. Please remember to sign your child in for
KOW before entering the sanctuary on KOW Sundays.

FELLOWSHIP FRIENDS:
Have you ever gone to a place where you knew no one, then
someone came along beside you and welcomed you, introduced you
to others, gave you a tour of the facilities, introduced you to
different groups, asked you about your faith journey, and made
you feel at home? That's what Fellowship Friends are all about.
You are invited to volunteer to become a Fellowship Friend. You
will be trained and given the tools necessary to accomplish the
journey. What is needed from you is your commitment and
willingness to guide guests who decide to become part of the
community of faith at Aldersgate. Please contact Pastor Al or Kaye
Harris. Thanks in Christ.

Aldersgate's Building
Committee |
 |
|
| |
Aldersgate's
Building Committee has made the first of many decisions necessary
for building our new sanctuary. After much consideration,
discussion, and interviewing, an architectural firm has been
selected. WKWW from Charlotte has "designed religious,
educational, recreation facilities for over 500 churches since
1956". Quite a number of those facilities are in the triangle
area. If you would like to know more about this group, their
information and photographs of some of their facilities, are on
their website at
www.wkwwarchitects.com.
Please keep the
Building Committee and WKWW in your prayers as we endeavor to grow
Aldersgate's mission and ministry in this community.
