The Membership and Evangelism Committee has a new group under
their direction, the New Baby Ministry. Because so many new
families are quite a distance from their extended families
these days, We want to offer new parents the support of the
Aldersgate church family.
Members of the committee are Holly
Fishback, Cindy Jones, Evelyn Johnson, Robin Thomas, Mary Taylor and
Kathy Chmielewski. We will be in touch with the expectant mother
during her pregnancy to make sure everything is proceeding well.
Once the baby has arrived, we will check-in on the new family with a
gift bag and a visit, in addition to placing the single rose on the
altar. We would like to provide a meal or two for the family and
give the new parents an opportunity to have some time to themselves
by offering a sitter for an evening out.
We would like to offer the congregation
the opportunity to participate in this outreach to our new families.
If you would like to be on a call list to provide a meal to a new
family or to care for one of the new babies for an evening, please
contact a member of the committee. We can provide you with
additional information.
We will also be collecting coupons for
baby items that new parents use regularly. If you are a coupon
clipper, cut out those coupons for formula, diapers, baby foods or
Toys R Us products and place them in the envelope in the literature
rack in the Narthex.
