Aldersgate UMC Donations A ‘Blessing’ To Molino Park Elementary

August 30, 2013

Aldersgate United Methodist Church is among the many organizations stepping up to help Molino Park Elementary School following the theft and destruction of tens of thousands of dollars worth of technology from the school.

The church is donating proceeds from their next two community dinner collections, accepting donations at a Back to School Splash Party this Saturday and taking up collections from their congregation — all in addition their annual paper drive — for the school.

Molino Park Principal Alice Woodward called the church’s contributions “a blessing”, and said, “I appreciate the whole Molino community in their support of Molino Park Elementary.”

The Aldersgate Back to School Splash party will be held from 3 until 6 p.m. Saturday, September 7 at the church on Highway 29, just north of Highway 97. There will be water slides, water balloon games, fun on a new playground and a cookout. Everyone is invited to the free event, but attendees are invited to make a monetary donation to technology replacement at Molino Park Elementary School.

Aldersgate has also joined other Molino organizations as a Molino Park Elementary technology recovery donation drop off point. Read more…

    Some curse the darkness.
    Others light candles.

    Aldersgate is a true blessing to the community.

    The support they give to Molino Park and the community is fantastic. They also partnership with Molino Park at Thanksgiving and Christmas to help with food boxes. They have helped may Molino Park families with these food throughout the year. Thank you Nancy for all you do each month with this program :-)

    THANK YOU to the Alan and everyone of your congregation.
