Mission of the Month

International Mission Trips

 

In June and July of 2012, Aldersgate will send two teams on an International Mission Trip.  The first team, led by Bill Etheridge, will travel to Quito, Ecuador and do some construction work on a school that Compassion International is helping SIFAT with.  The second team, led by Todd Owen, will travel to LaErmita, Honduras and do some construction work on the ministry comput of Lee and Gracie Murphree with Heart of Christ Hondruas.  Both trips will cost over $1500 for each participant.  You can help defray these costs by supporting this Mission of the Month.  Make checks payable to Aldersgate and put MOM in the memo line.

Food Collection 

 

Aldersgate's continue's each month to have a food drive for HAP (Huntsville Assistance Program). 

 

 

 HAP continue to provide food for many new clients each week - at least 30 families are given food every week.
Even with over 60 churches contributing, there is never enough on the shelves for the next week's distributions. I encourage you to pick up a few items each week and put them in the blue baskets in the back hallway. Some of the items that are always needed are cereal, canned meats (chicken, tuna, Spam, etc.) peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, soups, crackers, pasta noodles and pasta sauce,canned beans, dry beans, rice, canned meals, and boxed potatoes. Thank you for your continued support of this important community program .

 

The need is greater than ever!  Pick up some things when you shop this month and bring them all this month. 

 

 

Blue baskets will be in the narthex and the back entrance hallway for this collection. 

Call Connie Carter with any questions. 

Thank you for supporting this program - many are counting on us this month.
