Our online worship will offer us the opportunity to participate in foot washing and take holy communion. Supplies needed: basin filled with water for foot washing, a cloth, a towel and a bread item and beverage for communion.

Join us as we remember the last days of Jesus' earthly ministry through dramatic reading of the scripture and music.

Join us for our informal worship around the campfire as Easter morning dawns.

Our Easter Worship will be filled with joy as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with the Youth and Faith Choirs, special music, scripture readings, the Easter sermon "Run, Mary, Run," an interactive children's story and Easter hymns.

Immediately after worship on Easter Sunday, children will have the opportunity to make their easter egg bags, while the youth hide the eggs and then the hunt begins. Additional crafts and games will be available, and everyone is invited to an Easter lunch in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome at this time of fellowship.

Dave and Barbara David will soon be moving. On Sunday, May 15 we will say good-bye to them in worship and during Fellowship Time.

As part of the good-bye, we would like your help by writing a note to them on a 3 x 5 card expressing a memory, appreciation, or thanks. Cards will be available following worship or in the church office. Please return the cards to the church office before Sunday, May 1st. If you have photos of them singing in the choir, working and performing in a play, as a trustee, etc., please drop them off or email them to the church office.

Asbury’s Antiracism Ministry began formally about 18 months. We felt called to respond to the well-documented choking death of George Floyd, but needed to educate ourselves on the issues, the history, and the nature of racism. We wanted to be actively working against racism in our own lives and in our society. We’ve learned a lot and there’s so much more yet to learn.

We meet via Zoom on the 4th Tuesday of each month, and we would love to have you join us, no matter where you are in your own journey. Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 26th at 7pm and will be discussing portions of the book, Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall, which examines how the feminist movement does (and mostly does not) help women of color. Check out the book trailer here!

If you’re intrigued by the topic of antiracism and feel called in that direction but a monthly Zoom meeting does not appeal to you, not to worry: you can study the issues on your own time and at your own pace. We have a wonderful resource list of things our group has read, watched, discussed, or recommended to each other. It has books, videos, articles, webinars, movies, TED talks, poetry, and You Tube clips. Browse through it as you would browse through a library or a Netflix menu. Pick something that catches your eye and dive right in. And if ever you want to talk about what you’ve learned, join us on Zoom.

Today, Wednesday, April 13th on Zoom

You are invited to our next virtual Interfaith Interconnect Religion Chat! We will present the fourth and final program in our series, “What holy books or other texts are important to your religion?”

All are invited to a day of spiritual renewal right at Asbury. Our theme is “Celtic Spirituality.” Rev. Heather Hammer is leading us in exploring this theme through music, prayer, and fun activities. The cost for the day will be $20.00, including breakfast snacks, lunch, and program. Scholarships are available and childcare is free for all. Please fill out the registration form and return it to the church office by April 17. Contact the church office with any questions.

The Church Council meeting will begin with a Charge Conference on Sunday, April 24 for the purposes of electing Lay Members to Annual conferences, members to the Board of Trustees and a member to Staff Parish Relations Committee.
