Experience Connecting

Knowing

Loving Growing

Easter Sunday was March 31st. Throughout the month of April we will look at different people’s

reactions to the Easter story in the Bible. Some are quite famous. Thomas takes on the qualifying

name “Doubting” to describe his reaction to the story that Jesus was risen. He just couldn’t believe

it. Peter, of course, went back to fishing, presumably because he was ashamed of the fact that he

had denied his best friend three times on the night Jesus was arrested. The women who came to

the tomb on Easter Sunday were startled and upset to find that Jesus’ body was gone from the

grave. They were then overwhelmed with comfort and joy when they discovered that indeed

Jesus was risen. And the two men who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus ran back to Jerusalem

to tell the disciples that they had seen the Lord.

What do we do with this news that Jesus is alive? Do we doubt that it is true? Do we believe,

but run away from Jesus due to the shame of our past mistakes? Do we find this news troubling

and upsetting, or comforting and joyful? Does it make us want to run out and tell someone else?

Throughout the month of April let’s consider together the best ways that we can respond to the

Good News of Jesus Christ. For He is alive indeed. Alleluia!

SUPPORT THE METHODIST HOME FOR CHILDREN

COME TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE - APRIL 24TH

The Micah 6:8 Covenant Group is

sponsoring a WNL dinner to support

the Methodist Home for Children on

April 24th at 5:30 p.m.

The meal will be:

Turkey Waldorf Salad

Molded Cranberry Salad

Rolls and Butter

Desserts

The Methodist Home for Children

has served children and families in

NC for more than 100 years.

Is your cup overflowing ? Empty?

Half-filled ? Cups are unique, they

come in different sizes and colors.

A cup is a container for holding

something...

In addition to foster care and

adoption, its services include

family preservation, gang preven-

tion, family drug prevention, early

childhood care, multipurpose

homes and higher education

scholarships.

Methodist Home for Children’s

mission is to build upon the social,

physical, and emotional strengths

of children, youth and families and

to affirm their worth.

By doing this, they have been able

to transform lives of individuals

and families.

The financial cost of providing

these services is huge…but the

payoff is immeasurable. There is

a funding gap of at least $1000 per

child each year. You can help by

making a donation – even a small

one. Checks can be made out to

AUMC with Methodist Home for

Children in the memo.

Thank you for your support.

“A hundred years from now …it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove…but

the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

Aldersgate is one of 30+

churches that make up the

Durham Interfaith Hospitality

Network (IHN). Families in

the program come to

Aldersgate for a week for a

hot, nutritious meal and a safe

place to play, relax and sleep.

Many hands are needed to

help make these families feel

welcomed and loved.

Our youth transform class-

rooms into bedrooms for

the families.

Drivers bring the families

to the church each evening

and return them to the

Day House each morning.

Aldersgate UMC will

host the IHN families the

week of April 7th, and

again the week of June

30th.

You can learn more about

IHN at the website for

the Durham Interfaith

Hospitality Network

Susan Gay at

susgy@aol.com.

Evening hosts prepare

meals and share in

fellowship with the

families.

Overnight hosts sleep

over and are present to

respond to the needs of

our guests.

My heartfelt thanks to all

those people who are

already involved in making

our guests feel the spirit of

Christ’s love. Come and be

a part of this wonderful

team.

KIDS OWN WORSHIP NEEDS YOU! This is an important

ministry to our children, but we cannot do it without enough folks

willing to go to another service a couple of times a year and then

be with these wonderful children during the 11:00 am service.

Two adults are needed for each session. One person leads the time

together and the other adult is there to assist. Contact Jane Brannock

jane@aldersgate.orgor Holly Fishback hfishback@nc.rr.com if you

are interested in being a part of our children’s ministry.

MOVING ON UP - PROMOTION SUNDAY

Aldersgate has traditionally held promotion Sunday the end of August

for the next year. However, the rising sixth graders now move up to the

youth group at the beginning of June. We also have a number of year-

round children in our program. Finally, all the children feel like they

have been “promoted” to the next grade when they end their school year.

Therefore, the Children’s Christian Formation Team will move the

children to the next grade beginning with the summer Sunday school

season on June 2nd. We will follow the Durham school policy, which

observes the cut-off date of August 31 for grade decisions. Please contact

Jane Brannock if you have any questions - Jane@aldersgate.org

Notes from Nan

CHANCEL CHOIR CANTATA

Upon This Rock: The Passion, The Question, The Call;

a Cantata by Pepper Choplin

Presented Sunday, April 14 at 8:15 and 11:00 am

From the composer’s forward: “Peter begins with the compelling question,

‘What is your passion?” As we read the Gospels, it is evident that Peter was a

passionate person. This cantata leads us through Peter’s experience with Christ:

his call, his confession, his denial, his restoration, and his sending out. As

we experience the story through Peter’s eyes, we are led to ask, “What is our

passion? What is our call? Who do we live for? …. May this cantata inspire you

to experience the story with Peter and ultimately embrace the message of Upon

This Rock: And so our love, our love for Christ / Will be the cause, the reason

why we live our days / To walk in faith,/Faith in the rock, the solid rock.”

Please invite your friends and family to join us for this special presentation by

our Chancel Choir.

Please let Jane Brannock know IN ADVANCE if you need Child care. Jane:

April 28th Combined Service - Children Sabbath

Prime Timers is a church organization for retired, semi-retired or

seasoned folks who enjoy fellowship, good food and stimulating topics

and activities.

The purpose is to provide opportunities to share and support one another in a Christian environment on a

scheduled basis. There may be speakers (outside or staff) trips of interest or times to eat out at favorite

restaurants. Everyone is welcomed - church members or community friends, to be a part of this group.

Many of the original older adults have “gone home" and a few are unable to attend. Guess What ? Some of

you younger faithfully Christians have moved into the older adult world…(we will not mention any names)

But, believe us, it is a true blessing to move into the older adult classification, and we would like to suggest

and challenge you to join this ministry. The opportunities for the blessings of Christian fellowship and

growing and loving our church and reaching out to others is unlimited. Your talents and ideas would be a

great blessing. Give Prime Timers a try!

Prime Timers meet the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 11:45 am in the Wesley Room. Meals are

bring your own or bring a covered dish to share. If you have any questions please contact: Susan Gay (919)

Rise and Shine! - “A Technicolor Promise”

Everyone loves a rainbow! Not only is it a wonder of creation, radiating beauty

after a rain, but more importantly as a sign of the covenant, it reminds us of God’s

overwhelming love and grace. “A Technicolor Promise,” by Allen Pote and Carole McCann, is a sometimes

humorous but still truthful re-telling of the story of Noah and the Ark.

WHEN: Monday, July 8 through Friday, July 12th - TIME: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm - COST: $55*

FOR ages 6-13 - REGISTRATION for half-day camp is due by June 28th . Registration Brochures

are at the Welcome Station or see Nan. (*For children attending AUMC’s Full-day Summer Camp Pro-

gram, there is no additional fee or need to register separately for Music and Arts Camp week!)

What’s the plan? - We plan to audition for some of the larger speaking parts (Noah, Mrs. Noah, and four

storytellers) in June so that the week will be fun as well as amazing for all! Mostly, though, we’ll be learning

“A Technicolor Promise” together from start to finish in one week! Through an exciting week of rehearsals,

games, and activities, we will learn the story (including many other speaking parts and some solos), the songs

and choreography, the play itself, and also create the set! It is fun, but pretty intensive - younger children

should only come if they’re up for that! Sometimes we work in small groups, sometimes all together, and

just the soloists, dancers, or main characters will have special practice times too. On Friday at 3:30 pm, we

invite everyone in to see our show! M&A Camp Directors: Heidi Miller and Nan de Andrade

Please share a brochure with neighborhood children/friends – we love children! Volunteers are needed!
