    Support sought for Medical Mission to Honduras For the fourth year in a row, Aldersgate’s Fay Painter, joined this year by

    Kathryn Reid, will spend a week in June in the impoverished, remote

    mountainous region of central Honduras, bringing life-saving medicine

    and health care to children and families. Fay and Kathryn’s mission trip

    is with the Friends of Barnabas Foundation in Midlothian, Virginia, which

    was started 15 years ago by a United Methodist minister, the Reverend

    Linwood Cook. 

    Fay is the co-

    leader of the June team. 

    The cost is $2,000per person, and the team needs to raise an additional $7,500 to

    purchase medicine and medical supplies. Please consider a gift to

    sponsor her trip.  Checks may be made payable to AUMC and write

    Potluck and Youth Praise Band Concert 

    Any and all are invited to join the youth and their families on Sunday,

    May 22nd at 6pm, for a potluck dinner in the Reed Room to celebrate

    another amazing year of growing together! Dinner is followed by a

    stellar concert put on by our Youth Praise Band at 7pm in the Sanctuary.

    We can't wait to have you come out and support our young people and

    their awesome-ness!! (Everyone/family is asked to bring a salad, main

    dish, or dessert to share with all. Drinks and paperware will be

    provided.) 

    ALMOST 3,000! 

    I recently returned from my annual medical mission trip to Hai. This

    year’s April Team saw 2,927 paents, including 125 dental paents. I

    have been parcipang in The Hai Mission since 2001, and the people

    at Aldersgate have been generous supporters during this me. This year

    Aldersgate contribuons (which totaled over $2,300) purchased $1,400

    worth of medicaon, $270 worth of consults or procedures at our

    referral hospital, $275 towards a clean water system, “Happy Meals” for

    hungry paents, and helped to support school expenses for needy

    students.

    It has been a true blessing for me to connue to be a part of this

    amazing project. Contribuons from Aldersgate, and from countless

    other generous souls, have made it possible to send medical teams to

    this rural community in northern Hai four mes a year since the mid

    1980’s. In addion, The Hai Mission now funds a local physician who

    works all year round at the clinic. Over the 15 years I have been going to

    Hai, I really can see a slow improvement in the health of this

    community. 

    Bondye Beni, mesi anpil (God Bless and many thanks).
