SPECIAL EASTER THANKS FROM BILLY:
What a wonderful Easter Sunday we had at Asbury! A special thank you to all of our ushers, greeters, and connectors who helped with the large crowd of folks yesterday — especially with helping folks in the rainy conditions.
We thank the Karacostas Family and everyone who helped with the Living Cross in the courtyard. It seems like it gets more and more beautiful every year! Be sure to look at the pictures of it on our web site.
We also thank the teachers and helpers for the children's classes and nursery.
A special thank you goes to our choir and musicians for all of the special music we had. And thank you to to those who gave us the beautiful Easter lilies that blessed us in the sanctuary.
