We are Aldersgate - a vibrant, inclusive Christian community growing in faith, love, health, and service located in Bellevue, WA.
Aldersgate United Methodist Church resides on the unceded land of the Duwamish Tribe - the People of the Inside, dxʷdəw?abš - what many know as King County. To learn more about and advocate for the federal recognition of the Duwamish Tribe’s people, culture, heritage, and land, please visit https://www.duwamishtribe.org/.
Childcare is available most Sundays. If there is no staff available, families are welcome to stay in the sanctuary, use the family room on the far right of the sanctuary, or hang out in the Narthex. Both rooms have live audio connections, so you will still be able to hear our worship service.
Scripture
“When they had reached the place called the Skill, they crucified Jesus there - together with the criminals, and on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, "Abba forgive them. They don't know what they are doing." Then they divided his garments, rolling dice for them.
The people stood there watching. The rulers, however, jeered at him and said, "He saved others, let him save himself - if he is really the Messiah of God, the Chosen One!" The soldiers also mocked him. They served Jesus sour wine and said, "If you are really the King of the Jews, save yourself!" There was an inscription above Jesus that read, "This is the King of the Jews."
One of the criminals who hung there beside him insulted Jesus, too, saying, "Are you really the Messiah? Then save yourself - and us!"
But the other answered the first with a rebuke: "Don't you even fear God? We are only paying the price for what we have done, but this one has done nothing wrong!"
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your glory."
Jesus replies, "The truth is, today you'll be with me in paradise."
Luke 23: 33-43 (The Inclusive Bible)
