Aldersgate in Action In Depth: The Aldersgate logo was inspired by the Love Sculpture in Philadelphia, PA., to remind us that God is Love and that Love is the Greatest Commandment. Aldersgate In Action In Depth: “Have a Mary Christmas” is the name of the current sermon series, which has been designed to inspire us to grow closer to God during the Advent and Christmas seasons as we embrace the story of Mary the Mother of Jesus for ourselves. Today’s sermon, “Humble,” is the second sermon in the series. You will find the order of worship for today’s service on Page 4. Welcome to Aldersgate United Methodist Church, where the mission is to raise up deeply devoted disciples of Jesus. You have a place here.

In Depth: Each week, these two pages will contain updates, news and other information about Aldersgate’s music ministry, the children’s, youth and college ministries, and opportunities to serve in the Mission Field. (The Mission Field has been identified as four areas of focus in which to share the love of God outside of the church locally: McMurry University (and other Abilene colleges and universities), Bowie Elementary, Our Neighborhoods and Aldersgate Academy.) Children’s Ministry: Christmas: And that is a very good thing! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Right? I truly love the Christmas season and all the joy and craziness it brings. But, the part I do not love is the "gimmees" it sometimes imparts to my kids. This is not entirely their fault - it's a good conversation starter for many - "What are you gonna get for Christmas this year?" So, this year, I followed the advice of a blogger I like, Glennon at Momastery. She suggested that the day after Thanksgiving, we tell our kids they are going to get 3 gifts this year. If they balk at that, you should remind them that Jesus got 3 gifts. Surely we don't think we deserve more than that on Jesus's birthday? Have them come up with 3 things they like, write them down, and then say, "Well, that's done. Now we are free from having to think about and worry about what we are going to get. The list is done. Now we are free to focus on the real meaning of Christmas, which is being thankful for Jesus's birth and asking how we can share his love with other people." So, that is what we have done this year, and so far, it has gone swimmingly. Every time the kids say, "Oh! I'd like that for Christmas," I remind them that the list is done and already sent. Gradually the asking is stopping. And that is a very good thing. — Alayna Brooks College Ministry: Christmas Party and a Free Brunch! Tonight at The Oaks, we will celebrate the end of the semester and the Christmas season with a party! There will be festive foods, games, music, and more to enjoy; but most importantly, we want to celebrate this Christmas season with each other. Regardless of whether or not you regularly participate in Sunday night Celebrations, you are invited to join the community tonight, beginning at 7pm at The Oaks (2250 S. 14th St)! All students are also invited to enjoy a free brunch tomorrow morning. Feel free to come and go before or after your finals tomorrow morning between 9-11am. The brunch will be served here at Aldersgate in the Fellowship Hall. We hope to see (and feed) you tomorrow morning, and feel free to bring a friend! Grace and Peace — Kyle Watson Youth Ministry: Let’s Put Christmas In It’s Place! That’s right! I said it! It’s high time we put Christmas back where it belongs, and that somewhere does not begin on November 1st. Don’t get me wrong, I much enjoy the beautiful decorations, the cherished time with family and friends, and of course the celebration of the glorious arrival of our Savior. However, let’s not put the cart before the horse. We are currently in the season of Advent, which is from the Latin adventus, or, “to come.” Advent is a time of year for hopeful anticipation! One of the reasons the Christmas celebration is so beautiful is the dramatic unfolding of a remarkable narrative that precedes the birth of our Lord. The sacrifices, courageous efforts, and the fulfilled prophesies of that preceding story that culminates with the beginning of the most picturesque love story in history is what we commemorate in this advent season. So as we approach the Christmas season, I pray that we may all richly experience and embrace this season of hopeful expectation and preparation of our Savior that is TO COME! — Daniel Mathis A Sermon series on “Have a Mary Christmas: Humble” Luke 1: 39-48 Sermon Notes Mary’s Name and Self-Disclosure The Magnificat The Aspects of Biblical Humility The Results In Other News Staff Gifts Dear Friends of Aldersgate, Our church has been so blessed this year to experience growth in membership, participation of all ages, and financial commitments with an over-arching excitement regarding the direction the Lord has for us in the coming days and months.

  • MARY Christmas – Touchpoint for December 16, 2020
    MARY Christmas – TouchPoint for December 16, 2020 Luke 1:26-38 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

  • Biography Hit Man
    DAVID FOSTER “I believe that everyone gets three rounds in their life,” says musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer, and recording artist David Foster. “For me, two are completed and I’m on to Round Three. I think you have to change it up every round. My mantra is retreat and attack in another direction, which I’ve done twice. Now I'm going to do it again.” Foster’s first round was as a studio musician, arranger, and recording artist. His second round was becoming one of the most successful songwriters and record producers in history — shepherding albums that have collectively sold in the hundreds of millions. This period of his four-decade career also found him creating The David Foster Foundation and volunteering his time and talent to over 400 charities, as well as becoming a household name as a performer throughout Asia where he tours annually. For his third round, Foster is gearing up to take on Broadway with several projects. These include writing the music for a new musical about the iconic, animated character Betty Boop, which will be directed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell. He is writing the music for a musical based on the Amy Bloom novel and New York Times bestseller Lucky Us, directed by Tony Award-nominee Sheryl Kaller. Foster is also developing a scripted narrative one-man show based on the story of his career that he will perform himself. And finally, he is gearing up to write an original show with Oscar-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri that Foster describes as “a cross between The Bodyguard and The Phantom of the Opera.” As one of the most illustrious composers of our time, Foster’s skill set of creating hits, writing indelible melodies, and building dramatic moments, has primed him for this third round.

  • The Music of Donny Hathaway Everything Is Everything Donny Hathaway, 1970
    SUMPTUOUS SOUL: THE MUSIC OF DONNY HATHAWAY EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING DONNY HATHAWAY, 1970 Keisha Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Radhika Gajjala © 2014 Keisha Hicks All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor The song “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway is played only once a year during the holiday season. His presence is so strong during the holidays for African Americans because he is one of the distinctive cultural markers of the season. The question at hand is why is he relegated to the Christmas season but what about the rest of the year. In 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) created the series 50 Great Voices as a way to expose NPR listeners to artists who were not at the forefront of public consciousness. On June 26, 2010 Donny Hathaway debuted as the “Neglected Heart of Soul” but does “neglected” hold up. I believe “neglected” becomes situational depending on who is doing the remembering. The objective of my dissertation is to locate Donny Hathaway as a central figure in 1970s Soul music, to understand his growing influence over contemporary artists, and his musical legacy. I used Stuart Hall’s “representation” as my overarching theoretical framework. I wanted a theory that would be fluid enough to be relevant in the different phases of Donny Hathaway’s musical career. By using representation I was able to identify and understand the musical influences on Donny Hathaway.

  • 1 December 20, 2015 AM Pastor Ken Hepner “Have a Mary Christmas
    December 20, 2015 AM Pastor Ken Hepner “Have a Mary Christmas” Luke 1:26 – 38 Introduction: This Christmas Sunday morning, I invite you to take some time to reflect with me things that really matter in life. I want to begin by looking at what the shepherds heard the angels say and then sing to them, Luke 2:8 – 14. Their message was a word about Loving people deeply and Peace on Earth, good will toward humankind. What culture has done with its message about loving others and peace in our relationships is really remarkable. We are all able to sit here this morning completely at ease in this wondrous season of joy, peace, giving, and good will toward humankind. The reason we feel so rested and inwardly refreshed is that we have spent our last number of days in quiet, peaceful, and restful enjoyment of life. We are so grateful for the stress free lifestyle we are living. The message the angels sang to the shepherds abiding in the fields watching their flocks was “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” What we have done with this spiritual message, of peace on earth in and through the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, is quite often a pretty far cry from what the angels had in mind as they sang. Our culture’s message blares at every one of our senses, with astounding regularity. The message is “Tis the season to be jolly, to express joy through getting, to be festive and indulge ourselves at parties.” Christmas is about shopping so that, on Friday as our children open our presents to them, the message of peace on earth through what Jesus has come to do for us all will be loudly proclaimed by our celebration.

  • Each Year, Around This Time, Holiday Albums Fill the Shelves of Record Stores and Cyber Music Markets
    Each year, around this time, holiday albums fill the shelves of record stores and cyber music markets. You can always find classic Christmas albums from artists like Loretta Lynn and Nat King Cole. But every year also brings new holiday albums from current industry stars. Today we play some of 2013’s offerings. “A Mary Christmas” is the first holiday release from Mary J. Blige. She performs twelve popular songs, including the jazzy version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Mary J. Blige shares the holiday warmth with guest artists as well. Here she performs “When You Wish Upon A Star” with one of music’s biggest stars: Barbra Streisand. The singer Jewel released the holiday album “Joy” in 1999. It was successful, selling over a million copies. She says her new one, “Let It Snow,” has the same spirit as the first. She wrote two new songs for the album. She also includes versions of old songs like “Silver Bells” and “Sleigh Ride.” And, country star Vince Gill plays electric guitar on “White Christmas.” One surprising performance is of the title song. Jewel rock and rolls “Let It Snow” more than you might expect. 1 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | Dec. 20, 2013 Johnny Mathis is back with his first holiday collection in years. It is called “Sending You A Little Christmas.” The 78-year-old artist sings with several special guests on the album including Susan Boyle, Billy Joel and Gloria Estefan. But one song is a record breaker in Mathis’ career. He gets on Billboard Magazine’s Adult Contemporary chart for the 50th time with the album’s title track.
