"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:
Today
"Displacement"
Sunday, June 5
"Longing for Spring"
Sunday, June 12
"Communion"

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

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.
