"A PEOPLE C ALLED BY GOD"

Join us each Sunday morning at 9:00 and 11:00 am as we embark

on an increasingly crucial discussion of what it means to be the

church, a people called by God, as the church's role in North

American culture continues to shift. What was our beginning like,

what's happened over the past 1,700 years, and what clues do we

have about the future shape and role of the church in our culture?

Come be a part of the conversation which includes:

A Note of Thanks My sincere appreciaon for all who have stood by me as I have

had some of the darkest days of my life. I will admit when my

doctor used words like “cancer” and “malignant” in the same

sentence, it knocked me o my feet. I prayed to God that night I

would not wake up the next morning. Obviously the prayers of my

Aldersgate friends are more powerful than all of my prayers

because I did wake up and every day since. And I wish to

connue. I appreciate all of the visits, cards and gis from my

Aldersgate family. My very special appreciaon to John, Brian,

Mark, and especially Mary Seymour for making me a member of

their family. Al Highsmith

Office space sought for ministry to refugees I am seeking a single oce on the bus route in Charloesville/

Refugee and Immigrant Support and Educaon). We do not have

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. The team of 16 people will

serve 1200+ people with vision care, dental care, medical care, fluoride

treatments, and anti-parasite medicine.

Children needing surgery and

ongoing care will be identified and served through an extended care

program and surgical teams.

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 $2,000 per person, and the team

needs to raise an additional $7,500 to purchase medicine and medicalsupplies.

Please consider a gift to sponsor her trip. Checks may be made payable

to AUMC and write “Honduras mission trip” in the memo line. Thank

you, and God bless you.
