Wednesday Night Activities

The activities on Wednesday night are a great place to get involved in the life of Aldersgate, growing closer to God and to other people. The evening begins with a meal, followed by prayer time, then various classes and rehearsals. Come out and enjoy good food, fellowship, worship, and Bible study. Many of the Wednesday Night activities now run all year long.

Family Fellowship Meal
5:45 - 6:15 p.m. (Fall through Spring)

The fellowship meal is very popular. You don't need to bring any food. All that is asked for is a small donation to cover the cost of the food. Come to Fellowship Hall for this tasty treat!

Wednesday Night Prayer Time
6:20 - 6:30 p.m. (Fall through Spring)

Can't make Sunday service? Looking for worship in a smaller group? Come join us for prayer every Wednesday night. It's the perfect mid-week pick me up.
