Aldersgate Day, celebrated on May 24 (or the Sunday closest), commemorates the day in 1738 when John Wesley experienced assurance of his salvation, or, as like to say, John Wesley felt his "heart strangely warmed."

The story goes that Wesley reluctantly attended a group meeting that evening on Aldersgate Street in London. Wesley wrote in his journal that at about 8:45 p.m. he was listening to a reading from Luther's Preface to the Epistle to the Romans.

"While he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."

As we celebrate Aldersgate Day -- and Pentecost -- we remember the power of the Holy Spirit that ignited a movement called Methodism -- and continues to ignite us into faithful and loving actions today!

1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. 5 Now there were devout Jews from every people under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” 12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” 14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Fellow Jews and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit,
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

Carolyn Mae Seats Disher, 87, of Lewisville, NC, passed away on May 16,2026 at her home.
Carolyn was born on November 21,1938 to the late John Clingman Seats and Louise Bryant Seats of Forsyth County. Carolyn was part of the last graduating class of Lewisville High School in 1956.

Even after children, Carolyn continued to work on the family farm planting and harvesting to***co. She was a lifetime member at Union United Methodist Church, where she served in the choir and on numerous boards. You could always look forward to hearing her solo of "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" at Christmas. She answered to many calls, but "Mama", "Moms", "Nanny", or "DoDo" were her favorites. When she wasn't with family, or helping at church, you could find her working in her flower beds and garden, playing the piano, or indulging in any dessert with caramel.
Carolyn is preceded in death by her mother and father along with several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 62 years, Johnny Disher; her two sons, David (Wendee) Disher, and Tim (Cary) Disher; her 7 grandchildren, Cara (Kristian) Blackburn, Will Disher (Savannah Owens), Johnlee Disher, Jake Disher, Lillie Disher, Sadie Disher, and Hank Disher; her great grandson Bowen Blackburn; a step grandchild Reece Matthews; her brother John "Phil" (Lissa) Seats; her aunts: Faye Seats, Francis Sisk, and Jackie Seats; her nieces and nephew: Abby Seats, Lizzie (Carl) Pellington, and John Seats; several great nieces and nephews; several cousins; and her best friend and cousin Ms. Norma Jean Harbin.
Carolyn's celebration of life service will take place on Tuesday, May 19th at Union United Methodist Church. The family will be receiving guests beginning at 2 pm and service at
3 pm, with a grave side service immediately following in the church cemetary. The service will be officiated by Rev. Randy Perdue.
The family would like to express with their sincere gratitude to the staff at Trellis Supportive Care, and the caregivers: Sierra Perrell, Cameron McKinney, Mandi Norman, and Kelly Smith.

The Wesleys, leaders of the early Methodist movement, called this an important holy day. A hymn explains its significance.
