What’s going on here at Aldersgate Church?

On Saturday, November 7, both the Women and Men of Aldersgate will have opportunities to step away from the usual routine and spend time connecting with one another. Childcare will be available at the church during both gatherings.
Women of Aldersgate: Ladies Morning Out | 9:30 AM–12 PM
Ladies are invited to spend a fun, relaxed morning together at Aldersgate! Enjoy time with your sisters in Christ while picking up some Christmas decorating tips, making a craft, playing bingo, and simply enjoying time together.
Men’s Retreat at Gifford Pinchot State Park | 9 AM–1 PM
The men will head outdoors for a morning centered around connection, prayer, and time with God in nature. The retreat will include opening devotions, a hike with several prayer and Scripture stops along the way, lunch together (bring a brown bag lunch!), and a closing time. The morning will explore the theme “Voice in the Wilderness,”focusing on hearing God in quiet places, growing in faith and brotherhood, and perseverance.

New Member classes will be held on November 8 and 22, from 11 AM - 12:15 PM.
