Well, today was supposed to be the start of school for kids around the state. Some started virtually, some started in person; but as many of those who attend Putnam County Schools know by now, things didn't start off the way we had been preparing for.
Throughout this entire year we've dealt with adjustments and new routines, and this appears to just be another one along the journey that we have to rearrange our lives for. Boy I'm glad that the Gospel of Jesus Christ never changes. The Bible makes sure we know that too.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!"
Hebrews 13:8 CEB
So while we adjust and rearrange our lives for the new school year, let us join in prayer for all students who are navigating this ever changing scholastic season, from those starting off in pre-k, through elementary, middle school, high school, college and beyond. As today is also my first day of the semester at Asbury, I sure could use some of those prayers myself too!
Be blessed, church!
Jeremy Daniels, Associate Pastor
Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries

Organ Concert Series Update
The 2020-2021 PipeSounds Organ Concert Series will not begin in October as previously scheduled. David Haggerty was to be our special guest on October 4, but because of the continuing need for social distancing and travel restriction, this first concert has been cancelled. We are hopeful that we will be able to offer our annual holiday concert later in the year.

Remember the Cupboard
The Christian Community Cupboard has continued to serve our community throughout this pandemic. Please remember them when shopping. Especially needed from Forrest Burdette are canned peas and canned carrots.

Live Stream Tech Volunteers Needed
To help continue our Facebook-Live presence for our 10:30 a.m. worship services, we need several volunteers to train and learn the process to help this outreach. We are blessed with the technology to be able to reach others for Christ in this new way. Please consider being a part of this team! Please contact Karen in the office or Pastor Jeremy.
