Our missional focus for October is the Be The Good Project. The Be The Good Project is a local non-profit organization whose mission is to provide safe and simple ways for volunteers to help feed our neighbors who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity.
We will put together Boost Bags on Sunday, November 22nd, as a
part of our Deck the Halls Christmas decorating event.
Be The Good Boost Bags are distributed through local schools
and non-profits that serve families who are experiencing
hunger and food insecurity across Northern Virginia.
How To Volunteer:
Make a contribution and we will purchase the contents needed to make Boost Bags. (Check can be made to Aldersgate UMC, memo: Be The Good.)
If unable to donate monetarily, join us on Nov. 22nd to pack the Boost Bags.
Questions: Please email Jill Cox.

The Rev. M. J. Kim Fund supports immigrant clergy serving in the Virginia Conference, helping with the unique needs and expenses they face while navigating the U.S. immigration process. Named in honor of Rev. Myung Johng “M.J.” Kim, the first Asian American elder ordained in the Virginia Conference, the fund carries forward his legacy of faith and service.
Aldersgate was fortunate to have Rev. M.J. Kim serve as our pastor from 1997–2002, and we are grateful for the lasting impact he made on our church community.
