Commitment Forms and Booklet - Return your card to the church NOW! Thank you.


Have you been laid off?  Are you worried that you might?  Are you thinking about changing jobs or careers?  We will be starting a new Aldersgate Networking Group to help those who have been laid off, those who are worried they might be and for those who are looking for a job/career change.  Bring your resume and join us on THIS Monday February 8 at 7:30 p.m. in room 202. Our first meeting will be to organize, discuss what we are looking for, get to know each other a little and circulate resumes.  For more information, please contact Leah Frye or Melanie Miller.

The church will be closed on Monday, Feb. 8 due to the snow. 

The church will be open on Tuesday, Feb. 9, and staff members who are able to get in will be available. However, we will watch the incoming storm closely and will close the office early if necessary. 

Please check with your group leader about Tuesday evening plans. In anticipation of the storm, the scheduled Tuesday night rehearsal for Journeys is canceled.

Aldersgate's Inclement Weather Policy will apply for the next few days unless a message is posted otherwise:

If Fairfax County Public Schools are closed, no children's or youth groups (at all) will meet at the church.

Adult groups may meet at the leaders' discretion. If you do not hear about what your group plans to do, please contact your leader directly. Because the pastor lives close by, he will hold worship each weekend. However, your personal safety is important to us. The pastors and group leaders will understand completely if you do not feel comfortable coming to the church when weather conditions are questionable.

In the event of severe weather conditions or a power outage, the church may be closed or may modify its schedule. If possible, messages will be posted on the home page of this website and a mass email will be sent out. You may subscribe to that email list using the Join Aldersgate's Email List button on the home page of this website.

(If the power is out, our phone and computer systems shut down - if the phone rings and rings (or there is a fast busy signal) and the system never picks up, we have no power!)

Sermon series based on

The Prodigal God

January 9  -  February 14

 

Missed a sermon? Listen via podcast!

 

“There was a man who had two sons…”  Does that sound familiar to you? Does it sound like a story you’ve heard before?

 /files/Church-wide Study Files/The Prodigal God/book cover.jpg/files/Church-wide Study Files/The Prodigal God/book cover_Resized_300x450.jpg

The familiar words begin the Parable of the Prodigal Son as it’s told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. Or, is it more accurate to refer to it as the Parable of the Prodigal God? Timothy Keller, author of The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith, believes it’s the latter, and beginning the weekend of January 9 and 10 we invite you to learn why.

  

January 9/10: The People Around Jesus

January 16/17: The Two Lost Sons

January 23/24: Redefining Sin

January 30/31: Redefining Lostness

February 6/7: The True Elder Brother

February 13/14: The Feast of the Father

SERVICES: Saturdays @ 5:30 pm and Sundays @ 8:30, 9:45, & 11:15 am  Nursery available during all services.
