In case you missed it...

The judges and the crowd loved the creativity and humor of the group, and especially loved the band's rendition of 'I Grill Good' and 'You Ain't Nothing but a Hot Dog.'

The Grill Team consisted of Martie Muldoon, Nancy Grover, Maren Haws, Marsha Howard, Carol Wahrer, and Roger and Arlynn Grimm. Bob Johnson and Jessica Warren drove the truck and ran the music, and Karen Bauman and Joyce Suter carried the banner. 

Congrats and great job to all who were involved - you represented our lively faith community well! The pressure is on for next year!

Asbury will be following the guidance of the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) regarding indoor masking.

When ACPHD relaxes indoor masking recommendations, Asbury will follow suit and require masks for those not fully vaccinated. Sunday School teachers and nursery staff will continue to wear masks when children less than 5 years old are present indoors.

Getting vaccinated and boosted is also another way we can love our neighbor and do no harm. People are always welcome to mask if that is their preference. Group leaders or groups may decide to implement a mask mandate in their group to protect their members in need of greater protection

When Faith Choir resumes in September, rehearsal will be on Thursdays!

This means that the first rehearsal after summer will be September 8th!

All children and volunteers will be required to be vaccinated appropriate to their age group and show proof.

Contact Fernanda to volunteer or find out more. Registration coming soon!

Asbury is joining with San Ramon Valley UMC and Walnut Creek UMC to work on a Habitat for Humanity project at Esperanza place, an affordable housing complex in Walnut Creek.

Our VBS Food Truck has re-routed to a weekend of celebrating community for everyone of all ages to participate.

We'll work in the Fertile GroundWorks garden, eat lunch, swim, have a hot dog dinner and campfire, and camp out on Asbury's property! We'll wake up on Sunday morning to breakfast before worship at 10am.

Following worship at 10am, we'll have lunch, a shave ice food truck, a giant waterslide, games, science, and arts & crafts with space to do art from home in the fellowship hall!

Sign up to participate and/or to provide food for the various meals! Make sure to include how many people are in your party. You are welcome to invite family, friends, and neighbors to join in the fun.

If you would like to make a donation to our program, please make it to our Serving Others With Love summer project: Fertile GroundWorks. You can also drop it off to the church office or offering boxes labeled "Fertile GroundWorks."

Enjoy some delicious spaghetti and support Partners for Change!

Partners is in need of volunteers to help with ticket sales as well as the event itself. If you are able to help with the event, sign up here or contact Kathy.

Fertile Groundworks warmly invites you to help kick off the summer season with an afternoon of food, fun, and festivities!

Bring your appetite as we fire up the grill for a delicious outdoor BBQ. We will be hosting activities for all ages including music, games, raffles, a Master Gardener Ask-Me-Anything booth, and tours of the garden. Invite your family and friends to join in the festivities!

Tickets will be $30 for adults and $10 for children and will go on sale soon!

The Men's Bible Study has resumed meeting every Thursday at 7:45am via video conferencing.

We are starting a new series “Comparative Religion.” The first lecture is titled ““Exploring Similarities and Differences." The professor introduces the topic and himself, giving us some of this background so we can better understand his subjective biases.

Whether or not you've been attending, you are welcome to join us. There is no homework. Contact Art Molvik if you would like to join the group and to get the link.

During our time together we read a brief devotional, meditate for 20 to 25 minutes, and end with an optional fellowship time.

Contact Jackie if you would like to join.

Women of the Spirit, an Asbury small group led by Joanne Abey, is looking for new members. Starting tomorrow, June 16 at 10:30 am, we will meet monthly this summer to discuss our new book: Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger by journalist Rebecca Traister.

This New York Times bestselling exploration of the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement is “a hopeful, maddening compendium of righteous feminine anger, and the good it can do when wielded efficiently—and collectively."

If you would like to join our group please contact Joanne or Debbie Whiteside.

We need more of your smiling faces to be greeters for Sunday mornings!

Think back to when you enter a building the first few times and how helpful and inviting it feels to have someone there to greet you with a smile and guidance on where to go. Or even when the place is no longer new, think about how warm it feels to see that familiar smile when you walk through the doors.

Sign up to be a Sunday morning greeter and help make Asbury the warm, inviting, welcoming place that is it!

Please pray for the requests that were made during prayer time on Sunday.

If you would like to be on the email prayer chain, please contact the church office.
