Jesus Calls: A New Sermon Series begins TODAY
Today, Aldersgate Church begins a new sermon
series titled, Jesus Calls. The series will focus
upon how Jesus calls people and what his call
means for our Christian life and the church. We
will examine that Jesus not only summons, but
he also creates, recreates, shapes, and
strengthens everyone who he calls.

Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry Drive
Did you know? In our community, there is a 17.9% food insecurity rate.*
That means that a number of our neighbors in Charlottesville and
Albemarle County are not sure if there will be food on their kids plates
tonight. In July, Aldersgate UMC will support the Loaves and Fishes
Food Pantry which is an outreach of Charlottesville First UMC. The
pantry provides groceries once per month to low-income families
helping to stretch their food budgets. If you would like to support the
pantry, please bring any donations of non-perishable items to the
church lobby in the month of July and place them in the marked bins.
You may make a monetary donation, payable to Aldersgate Church with
Loaves & Fishes marked in the memo, and place it in the collection
plate. The donations will be delivered directly to the food pantry.
Suggested donations in standard sizes (e.g., 14.5 oz. cans) are:
Peanut butter, Canned vegetables, beans, and fruit, Oatmeal, Non-
sweetened cereals, Vegetable oil, Flour, Dry or shelf-stable milk
Please help a family struggling financially get back on their feet.

School Supply Drive
Once again, AUMC will be providing school supplies for 150 students
(more if possible) at Greer Elementary School. Below is a list of items
needed for the students. The list will also be available in the Welcome
Center and in the Upper Narthex on the desk. Monetary donations will
also be accepted to purchase bulk supplies of paper towels, tissues, ear
buds, cleaning wipes and other items that we may not receive during
the collection period. Please make your check payable to AUMC with
SCHOOL SUPPLIES on the memo line. We have volunteers ready to do
the shopping for you! Donations of supplies can be left in the collection
boxes located in the Welcome Center and in the Upper Level Narthex.
Packing and delivering of the school supplies will be during the month of
August. An announcement will be in the bulletin with the date and
time. Please let Deb Reynolds rynldsdeb@gmail.com or 295-8217 know
if you are interested in helping with this important outreach ministry of
our church. May Gods blessings be with each of you as we continue our
outreach to the underserved in our community.
