Watoto Children’s Choir to lead worship today The Watoto Children’s Choir will lead worship during both services today. Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents and now lives in a Watoto village in Uganda. The children will sing, dance and share stories of how the love of Jesus has changed their lives. We will take up a special offering that will go to the choir, and because we want Aldersgate children to see the choir, we will not have children’s PAL (Praise And Learning) Time in the 9:00AM ser-vice and children’s Sunday School will not meet today. Early Bird registration deadline ends on Tuesday Aldersgate is having Shipwrecked VBS 5:45 to 8:00PM July 30-Aug. 2, where kids will discover that Jesus rescues them. They’ll take part in fun Bible-learning activities, play games, sing lots of songs and learn to look for evidence of God all around them. Early Bird registration is available until Tues-day, May 1, so one child can register for $15 and two for $25.
