Church Donations

Thank you to everyone who supports the church financially. Your generosity allows us to maintain the building, pay our staff, and sustain the ministries that make this community possible. About 20% of every dollar donated goes right back out to support organizations in the wider community.

If you give through the offering plate on Sundays, consider using the envelopes available at the welcome table. This lets us track your contributions and send you a year-end giving statement for tax purposes.

Have You Taken Control of Your Health Today?

Life Line Screening will be at Aldersgate United Methodist Church on Tuesday, September 1, offering safe, painless, non-invasive preventive health screenings to provide peace of mind or early detection for risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The combination of these test helps detect problems-before you have symptoms and while you and your doctor can still take action. Please refer to the attached flyer to get more info about how you can sign up or call toll-free 800-324-9458, text the word circle to 216-279-1607, or visit https://www.llsa.social/habc for more information.
