Sunday Morning at AUMC During last Sunday’s service, Billie Campbell (Recording Secretary of Church Council) announced that, after a year of discernment, the Church Council decided to a change in the Sunday morning schedule at Aldersgate effective June 7, 2015. The change stems from a commitment to an Invitational Mission Model with an “outward” community focus. At 10:00 a.m., there will be a number of new offerings for fellowship, small group discipleship, and Sunday School for all ages. The two worship services will be 9:00 a.m. Blended Worship and 11:00 a.m. Traditional Worship. Please pick up your copy of Billie’s comments and the brochure, “Make Disciples: Sunday Morning at Aldersgate” in the foyer.
