WELCOME TO ALDAN UNION CHURCH! Visitors, please give us your name and address

accompany them to the Narthex in the back (where a children’s leader is available for
any questions) and then return for the rest of the service.

NURSERY WORKERS NEEDED FOR SUNDAY EVENINGS: Where can you spend an
hour crawling around on the floor, acting silly, eating all the animal crackers and
pretzels you want and storing up treasures in heaven at the same time? Where can
you hold one of God's precious little ones, hear the delighted squeal of a toddler as
they discover something new, read endless picture books and encourage Christ-like
behavior in a two-year old? By volunteering to help in our nursery! At this time we
are in need of workers in the nursery for the Sunday evening services! If you can
serve in this way, please stop by the nursery counter to fill out a Volunteer Form or
email Jody Puckett at jdplteach@verizon.net to sign up.

Career Crossroads but, along with his family, also volunteers in other areas. Please
join us for this enlightening discussion.
LOOKING AHEAD
THANK YOU to all who signed up a few months ago to be EMERGENCY RESPOND-
ERS should the need arise. Your response was overwhelming. The new lists will be
up soon. Also, as a reminder – there are First Aid Kits in every kitchen on campus
and also in the nursery and on the wall outside the beginner dept. These are only to
be used for emergencies on the church campus. If you take one from its specified
location, please be sure to return it. The kits will be re-stocked as needed. If one
breaks and cannot be re-hung, please contact Dave Pilgrim or Kathie Ida.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED GOING TO ISRAEL? There is still time to reserve your
spot for the trip going from May 21 through June 1. Information and registrations on
the 12 day trip to Israel and Jordon are at the information center. You can also call
Pastor Lochmoeller at 610-259-1896 for more information.
