**The Final Boarding Call has been extended!! Don't miss out on such a special trip!!***
On Saturday, March 26th at 7:00 PM the Fellowship Team is sponsoring a virtual travel opportunity. Participants are asked to submit a photo (or two) of some site in the USA/World they have visited or dreamed of visiting. Or skip this step and just join for the fun of it. Participants will be challenged to identify as many of the proffered sites as they can. The sites need not be as obvious as the US Capitol Building but not so difficult as Coki Beach in St. Thomas, USVI.
Please sign-up HERE and send your photograph(s) [and description(s)] to the church office by tonight (3/23)! A special surprise guest will be making an appearance. So, plan to join in to find out who it is!
Contact Ann Hall, John Hall, or the church office if you have questions

On behalf of Barb McEver, the rest of the Project 1020 Board and volunteers, and most of all the guests/clients we serve, thank you for raising $6,565 through your Christmas offering. This is just so amazing and we are so humbled that you chose our organization to support.
Without such a strong community of donors, many people experiencing homelessness would go without the life-saving help you allow us to provide. So again, thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Cyndi White, Treasurer, Project 1020

My name is Graham Nichols, and I have been going to Aldersgate since I was born. My Eagle Scout project is to build a sun shade over the outdoor chapel with Mr. Ben Powell. I am planning to work on it during spring or summer this year. We are looking to raise $5,000 in order to best complete this project. If you would like to donate, you can give either cash or check at the church office (Please make checks out to Graham Nichols). Thank you for your support, and I'm looking forward to giving back to the church.
