Our desire is to see the family UNITED.

​

When families attend church if they are constantly ripped this way and that it throws an amazing opportunity away for the family to be a unit.  For this reason we have children in the worship service with their parents.  And we are starting something called Messy Church.

​

Messey Church is for all ages to come together and get to learn on a child's level.  If you don't know anything about Church, God, the Bible this is an amazing place to start.  You won't be called on to teach, preach, pray in-front of a crowd.  We invite you to come and learn with your kids.  Dinner, crafts, games, and fun as a family that you don't have to plan, shop, organize, or clean up after.  We want to serve the families of Sumter at Aldersgate United Methodist Church.

​

The FIRST Thursday of the Month will be Dinner, Crafts, Games and a Lessons

from 6-9PM.

​

The SECOND Thursday of the month we will send you home with something fun to do as a family.  Again, you don't have to plan, shop, or anything.  We want to provide you with an opportunity to bond as a family.

​

The THIRD Thursday of the Month we will meet back up at the Church for a family move that ties into what the lesson was.  

​

The FOURTH Thursday we hope you will do another family activity at home that we will provide.
