Welcome Rev. Scott Davis
Welcome to Aldersgate and to this worship experience! Please take a moment to sign the
attendance pad found at the end of each pew and then pass it down to your neighbor. If you
have a prayer request please complete the blue card found in your pews and pass it to the
ushers during the opening hymn. Kindly silence all electronic devices as we prepare to worship.

*Call to Worship Susan Painter
Leader: Come, all you who are children of the promises of God, heirs of the faith.
Give praise to God!
People: We will tell all the nations of Gods name and Gods work. In our homes, in
our worship, in our daily work, in the company of the faithful to every
nation, and to every generation, we will declare the mighty works of God!
Leader: You who stand in awe of God, worship, honor, glorify and praise Gods name.
People: Gods face is not hidden from us. We will seek and praise the One
who hears our cries. May our praise for God well up within us
like a fountain, and spill over to the ends of the Earth, so that all
the nations will worship the Lord. Lynne Blankenship Caldwell
*Opening Hymn 98 To God Be the Glory

*Opening Prayer
God, our maker, hold us this day, with the same hand that shapes
the mountains, with the same hand that cradles the deep.
Keep our hearts open, make our faith strong, as you renew,
reform, recreate us into the image of Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

children, this is your time; God loves you, we love you, you are the gift of our church!

NEW AUMC DINNER GROUPS We are organizing a new set of dinner groups this fall. While
sharing food and fellowship, we hope to get to know each other better and meet new people.
This opportunity is open to everyone who might be interested, including members, visitors,
couples, and singles. Dinner groups (~8) are coordinated by leaders and meet once a month for
a pot-luck meal in someones home or at a restaurant, depending on what works best for each
set of participants. Groups are shuffled every 3 months. This year we also plan to invite guests,
in order to increase our circle of friendship. On the sign-up sheet, please indicate whether you
will be able to participate regularly or want to join a group on an occasional basis, due to
scheduling constraints. For more information, please contact Melissa King:
mdking26@gmail.com or 434.973.4778.

CALLING ALL LADIES If you are looking for a opportunity to get to know other women in our
church, please consider attending a Circle meeting. In September, after a summer break, our 2
Circles will resume meeting monthly for a time of fellowship, spiritual growth and missions. The
Sam Gibbs Circle meets on the third Tuesday at 6:30 pm which will be September 16. The Mary
E. Mills Circle meets on the third Thursday at 10:00 am which is September 18. We will be
making plans for our next Project Linus Make a Blanket Day on October 18 and for preparing a
meal for PACEM guest on November 18. We meet by our United Methodist Women display in
the Sip n Chat room. We are looking forward to seeing you!
