Information for our Guests

Children’s Church is offered for children ages 3½ —3rd grade during both services. Our staff will meet children at the back of the sanctuary during the offering in the first service and take them to the Kid Zone. Following the service they will be taken to the Sunday School class for their age group. During the sec-ond service, children these ages will be taken directly from Sun-day School or can be taken by you to the Kid Zone.

Nursery is available for children ages newborn to 3½ in the nursery all morning. The nursery check-in is located in the hall-way to the east of the sanctuary. We can reach you anywhere in the building with a pager.

Our volunteers at the Information table in the lobby are eager

to help you find classes or answer any questions. Please visit

them to learn more about our church family and ministries.

We offer communion on the first Sunday of even numbered

months. We welcome all who follow Jesus Christ to join us at

God’s table.

We encourage your children to join us in the sanctuary on

Family Worship Days on the 5th Sunday of a month.

It is a pleasure to welcome you this morning. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here. We believe God’s grace meets us where we are, but thankfully God’s love has no intention of leaving any of us unchanged.

We believe God is asking Aldersgate to make healthy disciples who grow deep in their faith through study, reach up to God in passionate praise and worship, reach out to their neighbor in compassionate acts of mission and ministry, reach back around in warm fellowship, and who give enthusiastic witness to our faith in God’s love and grace.

Prayerfully, you’ll find a warm and welcoming congregation who both nourish your soul and call you to go deeper in faith and in faithful practices as you love God and love your neighbor.

Available to all ages. Kids must be accompanied by a parent. Destination: Spirit Lake Ministry Center, North Dakota. Activities: Working with the peoples of Spirit Lake Nation of the Dakota; work-ing on homes in the reservation or on the Spirit Lake Campgrounds.

Cost: $350 per person; includes all travel, lodging, and meals on the trip (excluding snacks and souvenirs) Deadline: July 15

Turmeric Turmeric has been used in Chinese and Indian medicine to relieve pain due

to its active ingredient curcumin. A study has proven this significantly reduces inflammation and hence, pain. Turmeric extracts are effective in long-term treatment of knee arthritis pain and mobility. Add this earthy

spice to your soups, curries, salads, and vegetables.
