Our Family is Growing!

Congratulations Aldersgate! You have worked hard to invite and

welcome children and their families into the congregation and church
family and the fruit of your work and prayers is now present each
Sunday! During 11am Worship we now have THREE Children's Church
Classes and will soon begin considering a SECOND Children's Church
Class during 9am Worship! Don't stop the great work! It's time to help
feed these children spiritually and to build relationships with them! We
currently need two assistants in our classes each week to have a full
volunteer roster. (We need two the first Sunday of the month, we need
two the second Sunday of the month, etc.) We also need those who can
volunteer as last minute substitutes in case of family emergencies or
last minute colds/sickness that will arrive in the winter. Consider
partnering with someone to volunteer and you'll each be needed six
(out of 52) Sundays each year! To sign-up or find out more, please
contact Rachel via message on The City, via email
(RachelMiller@cvaumc.org), via phone (434-973-5806), in person, or by
marking the appropriate box on the tear off flap on your bulletin.

How to Help with Youth Group

Volunteer Opportunity

Many folks have asked how they can help with Youth Group at
Aldersgate there are many ways one important way is by feeding
us on Sunday evenings!! Dinners are on Sunday evenings at the
church at 6pm. ANYONE can do this! It can be a family project, a
single persons project, a Sunday school class project, the skys the
limit! Additionally, we want you to eat dinner with us! This is a great
way to spend time with the churchs young people! If you're
interested in providing dinner one Sunday evening this fall please
check the box on your bulletin flap. You can also go to The City and
pick the upcoming date that works best for you.

A mile in their shoes ...

Your Aldersgate Outreach and Missions Team is responding to
another need from a nearby school. Woodbrook Elementary
School is requesting some inexpensive or lightly used sneakers, so
that children who do not have sneakers can be provided
appropriate footwear for PE class. Our goal is to provide about 20
pair of sneakers (and white athletic socks too), ranging in size from
childrens size 10 up to adult size 7/8 (for both boys and girls).
Please consider helping with this project collection bins will be
made available inside both entrances to the church. If you prefer
making a monetary contribution, write Woodbrook sneakers on
the memo line of your check, and we will be happy to do the
shopping for you. Thanks for helping children of our community.
