Agape Love Quilts
 a prayer quilt

   
     The Agape Circle has an ongoing outreach ministry project to provide our congregation with Agape Love Quilts, a prayer quilt concept. The quilts are sewn as a tangible symbol of prayer, and signed by anyone who is praying for the recipient and their need for comfort. Purchase a quilt for a family member or friend and “blanket” the recipient with knowledge that they are being lifted up through prayer.

   Agape Love Quilts are being sold for $25.00, to cover the cost of supplies to make them.  All money made is returned to this or other missions. They are approximately 1 yard square, and a signing pen is provided. If interested in selecting a quilt for someone, please contact  Lynn Anderson or Patty Kreiselman. Our selection will vary as quilts are completed. If you have any questions about this ministry, or how you can make one, we would be happy to help!

HELPING HANDS CIRCLE

    The Helping Hands Circle began in 1992-1993 with only three members, Judy Maupin, Pam Boatright and Ardith Smith. Named by Ardith Smith, the focus of the circle is to do mission work and lend our helping hand inside the church as well as the community.  Whether our hands are praying, cooking a meal, sewing a baby dress, visiting nursing homes, or making health and school kits, we believe that with many hands together we can complete any task. With only six members in the early days, they served 100 people at the 1st Mother Daughter Brunch. This yearly brunch has now become a trademark of The Helping Hands Circle.  

 


SUSANNA WESLEY CIRCLE
 

Striving to give a helping hand wherever we can whenever we can'

The Susanna Wesley Circle was named for Susanna Wesley, the mother of John and Charles Wesley.  She is known as “The mother of Methodism”.  In 1711, while her husband was away in London, Mrs. Wesley adopted the practice of reading within her family and instructing them.  One of the servants told his parents and they wished to attend.  Then they told others and attendance snowballed until the congregations increased to over 200.  She read to them the best and most awakening sermons she could find in the library and talked to the people freely and affectionately.

The Aldersgate Susanna Wesley Circle is a service-oriented circle and is involved in many service missions both within our local community and globally. 

The Susanna Wesley Circle meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center Snack Room. Circle members rotate hosting these meetings.

The Year 2006 Susanna Wesley Circle officers are as follows

PRESIDENT: Kaye Harris
VICE-PRESIDENT:  
SECRETARY:  
TREASURER: Jeri Vincent

If you would like more information about the Susanna Wesley Circle, please contact Kaye Harris or call the Aldersgate office.
