26th Annual UMM BBQ
October 8th and 9th
Our 26th annual UMM BBQ will be Friday, October 8th and Saturday, October 9th. The BBQ supports the missions work of not only the Aldersgate congregation, but of a variety of local, national, and internation missions. Organizations and groups that have received funds from the UMM over the last three years (about $15,000 total) include:
- United Methodist Committee on Relief
- Society of Saint Andrew (Hunger relief)
- Montgomery Area Food Bank
- Salvation Army
- Montgomery County DHR Christmas Project
- Hurricane work teams
- boy Scout Troop 307 and Cub Scout Pack 307
- Red Bird Mission (Aldersgate work teams)
- Stipends for Aldersgate seminary students
- aldersgate Youth mission trips
- Aldersgate Missions Work Area budget
The last 2 years we have sold over 1000 plates, netting $5,500 or more each year. Our goal is to do the same again this year. While there is a lot of work involved, it is also a great time of fellowship with other men doing something we all enjoy - cooking meat over fire!
Ticket Sales
The financial success depends on good ticket sales before the BBQ weekend. We need lots of help selling tickets to family, friends, and co-workers. If you run a business (or know someone that does) that would like to treat its workers to lunch on Saturday, we'll even deliver large orders. Jim Snyder will have tickets for distribution towards the end of August. You can find him serving as a Greeter on Sunday mornings in the CAC, or call him at 272-3548, or email at jos@charter.net.
BBQ Weekend Volunteers
We will begin around 8am on Friday morning by starting the fire and putting the hams on at about noon. cooking will continue around the clock until Saturday morning. We need plenty of volunteers to work all shifts.
We always have a special need for some men that can do some heavy lifting Friday morning as we get started. If you can take Friday morning off from work, or at least give us a couple of hours, let Robert Thompson know so he can fillt he first work shift. Other work areas and contact information are listed below. Please contact any of the team leaders to volunteer.
