Sunday Morning at AUMC

During last Sundays service, Billie
Campbell (Recording Secretary of
Church Council) announced that,
after a year of discernment, the
Church Council decided to a
change in the Sunday morning
schedule at Aldersgate effective
June 7, 2015. The change stems
from a commitment to an
Invitational Mission Model with an
outward community focus. At
10:00 a.m., there will be a number
of new offerings for fellowship,
small group discipleship, and
Sunday School for all ages. The
two worship services will be 9:00
a.m. Blended Worship and 11:00
a.m. Traditional Worship. Please
pick up your copy of Billies
comments and the brochure,
