Harvesters
January’s Harvesters program will be with historian Jim Phillips as he
brings us “Antebellum Alabama,” the history of pre-Civil War
Alabama. Jim has spoken at countless gatherings across the state for
years and will be a big treat for us at AUMC. Come, bring a covered
dish and a friend, and join us Wednesday, January 4 ,at 10:45am in the
Epworth Fellowship Hall. If you have any old coins or old bottles etc.,
bring them with you. Jim will appraise them after lunch.
Handyman Ministry for Seniors
The Jubilee group is exploring the possibility of starting a ministry to
help seniors with needs around the house. Many seniors don’t feel
comfortable getting on ladders to change light bulbs or replace batteries
in smoke alarms, etc. The team members would work together in groups
of 2 to help with small projects around the house. If this is something
that you would be interested in helping with, please call Winsley Bates
at (334) 826-8800.
Newcomers and Visitors Are Always Welcome! For more information
contact Winsley Bates at the Jubilee Ministry Office (826-8800,
