Dear Aldersgate UMC Family,

Today, November 10th, an electrical fire occurred in the distribution panel on the education building of our church. The fire happened early this morning. We are thankful that no one was injured and the educational building was not damaged on the inside. (Praise the Lord)

However, we will be without power in that building for the next few days. As you can see there are already repairs happening. The phones to the church may be down as they cut power doing the repairs both Thursday afternoon and Friday. If you have a pastoral Emergency, please text or call Pastor Rodney. 

The sanctuary building was not impacted and has power right now. Therefore our normal ministries, Thursday Evening Bible Studies, Open Arms, Sunday Worship, Sunday School, and our Family Friendsgiving Dinner are all happening as scheduled. Without the education rooms, some room assignments have changed. Please be in communication with your group leaders. 

The staff and Trustees appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We also covet your prayers as we go through this disruption. Again, if you have any questions or have a pastoral emergency please contact Pastor Rodney (2142150198) as the phone systems will have periods of outages as they make repairs.

With Gratitude,

Rodney Whitfield

Senior Pastor
