Serving together and gathering together are both vital parts of community at Aley.
To best live into this, we often need to know who is coming so we can ensure we're well prepared!
Below you'll find sign-up links and ways to get involved.
MISSION & OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
Serving others is a way to actively show the love and grace of God and is essential to living out our call to "Love People."
"But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:43-45 (NLT)

The Prayer Team invites you to sign up to pray for the Pastors before each worship service.
Sign up and mark your calendar—reminders included!

At Aley you don’t have to be a “member,” and we hope you already feel connected. But as you take the next steps in that connection through active worship, intentional spiritual growth through small groups, faithful giving and serving in mission and outreach. These are all things you might say are ways you are already living out your faith. But committed growth also includes praying about being a connected member of the story.
So if you have questions, that's great; sign-up and join Pastor Laurie to find out more about this journey.
There are two different conversation options: Sunday, August 17th, at 1:30 pm or Wednesday, August 20th, at 6pm.
Questions? Contact Pastor Laurie.
