Providing humanitarian relief at the national and global levels. MISSION INFORMATION < Previous Back to National & International Missions Next > United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) assists United Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events – to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development. UMCOR currently has response efforts in place to provide aid and assistance to the people of Ukraine; to alleviate suffering caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters within the United States and its territories; and to provide support to displaced persons as well as refugees fleeing disasters (both natural and human-caused) around the globe.

Join us for pancakes and more this Shrove Tuesday! EVENT INFORMATION < Previous Event Back to Upcoming Events Back Next Event > Shrove Tuesday Pancakes N' More Dinner CHURCH-WIDE EVENT Tuesday, Feb 17th | 6:00pm - 8:00pm [object Object] I know, I know--giving something up for Lent is tricky. But, it's one simple act of devotion we can embrace communally. Shared mindfulness on the road to deeper faithfulness. Beautiful. Also, that's totally a February 18 problem. On Tuesday, February 17, let's drive it like we stole it and eat some yummy breakfast for dinner. You like pancakes? We got pancakes. Eggs and meaty treats? Check. Maybe some fruit so Mom and Dad don't grouse? You got it. And best of all, you can be served in style by the Aldersgate Youth. And did I mention we are raising money for those same Youth to go on a summer Mission trip? It’s a win-win-win…well, I’m not sure how many wins we're looking at here, but it’s plenty. There might even be a fiercely friendly fundraising competition between staff members. Heads may not roll, but they might get shaved. Ice bucket challenge. Outdoors. The possibilities are endless. Who will take home the Trophy of Public Pratfalls? There's really only one way to find out. Mark your calendar for this fun family event. Come early, eat often. Hope to see you there! Any questions, please reach out to Andreas Barrett . It's almost that time of year. The time where we mindfully set aside our shared indulgent nature and ponder Christ's great gift of salvation. However, before we humbly walk that path, I have a question. To paraphrase the character Donkey from Shrek, you know what everybody likes? Pancakes! On Shrove Tuesday, we invite you to satisfy your inner donkey and get some amazing breakfast for dinner, prepared and served by Team Aldersgate Youth. While you are dining on the finest carbs in the DMV, you can feel great knowing your generous donations will benefit both your immediate church family and our greater community. And did I mention the eggs and sausage? You just can't lose! So, please tell a friend, locate your stretchy pants, and mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 4 in Wesley Hall at 6:00. It's going to be a hoot--we'll save you a seat! RSVP is requested so that we ensure we have enough food. Please CLICK HERE to RSVP. We ask for a Love Offering. You can donate whatever your family feels comfortable giving. Contributions can be made by check (payable to Aldersgate UMC with "Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner" in the note) or cash on the evening of the event. All donations will go toward supporting the youth's chosen missions including Alice's House, Christ House, Provision Kitchen, our various mission projects, and a much-needed Youth Room renovation! Youth who want to volunteer and have a great time are also asked to sign-up. Whether you can help at 4pm with setup and prep or join us at 6pm to cook and serve, we'd love your support! CLICK HERE for Youth Volunteer Sign-Up. For more information, please contact Bailey Johnson and Andreas Barrett at youth@aldersgate.net . < Previous Event Next Event >
