As Christians we believe in one God comprised of three persons – The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The trinity is a mystery that is really hard to explain. For many of us, we understand God the Father is the creator of all things. We understand the Son (Jesus) is God in human flesh who came to die for our sins and redeem us. But many followers of Christ do not really understand the third person of the trinity – The Holy Spirit. So, why is it important for us to understand the Holy Spirit?

Join us this Sunday as we continue the Creed sermon series with the message "The Holy Spirit."

Flu Shot Clinic

Sunday, October 3, 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM, Aldersgate Room

Did you know October is considered the best time to receive a flu shot, as it helps to provide protection throughout flu season? Asbury’s Health Ministry is holding a Flu Shot Clinic on October 3 from 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM in the Aldersgate Room. Flu shots are administered by Michael Silvonek, RPH. For each flu shot, a portion of the fee will be donated to Asbury. A high-dose vaccine is available for seniors.

October is Pastors Appreciation Month!

On Sunday, October 10, we'll be celebrating our pastors in recognition of Pastors Appreciation Day. As we approach that day, we hope you'll take time to say a special "thanks" to our pastors! Send an email, a card of thanksgiving, or another affirmation for their ministry at Asbury. Cards can be sent to the church office.
