Lets Talk about Scripture Sermon Discussion

Starting Sunday TODAY
from 11:15 - Noon
At a round table in the Reed
Room, you can become
part of a discussion on the
Scripture and sermon
of the day. Get some food and
drink and feed your soul at the
same time!
THANK YOU!
A heartfelt "thank you" to all who
participated in our annual Angel
Tree project. Through your
generosity, many area children
and seniors at Golden Living (The
Cedars) had a very Merry
Christmas. Here are excerpts
from a few of the notes
Aldersgate received from Golden
Living. "Dear Santa's Helpers,
May God bless you. We love
you."; "You are such a blessing to
us. We so much appreciate your
kindness. May God bless you
now and through the coming
year." "Dear Friends, Words
cannot express the gratitude we
feel for all you did for our
residents at Christmas. Their joy
and surprise filled my heart to
overflowing. Many folks cried
and said they had never had a
better Christmas. We are so
blessed to have your assistance
each year."
