Thank you to our guest pianist, Ida Gorman.

   What a blessing it is to have you this morning!    

Last Sunday Pastor Wayne shared with us two websites that offer ways of discovering and applying our Spiritual Gifts.  Here they are:

www.MySpiritualGifts.com      and     www.gifts.churchgrowth.org

Our Presiding Elder, Rev. Mike Grant, also serves as the Chairperson for the next GMC General Conference in 2026, a very demanding job as it will be held in Africa!  This being so, Rev. Grant has decided to temporarily step-down as Presiding Elder.  The Rev. Dr. Chet Harris will return temporarily, until Mike is able to resume all of these important responsibilities (he’s the pastor at Christ GMC, as well!).  Please keep in prayer both of these dear Brothers in Christ!

We are excited for our  Sunday Evening Lenten Services TONGHT at 6:30 p.m. at Aldersgate Family GMC, 11394 Edison St. NE, Alliance, OH. Inspiring worship, warm fellowship, good food all await you!  Our offerings this year will benefit GMC efforts to relieve those still suffering in North Carolina from Hurricane Helene.
