July 9, 2017: 5th Sunday after Pentecost First Sunday in the 2017 Asbury Memorial UMC "Summer Preaching Series"
The guest speaker for this Sunday's service was Rev. Lesley Brogan. She is a minister in the United Church of Christ and works at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. She has written two books – Relying on the Moon: Companioning Grief for 29 Days and Grief and the Psalms – and is ruminating over the third one. Lesley, who was born and raised in Mattoon, Illinois, lives in Decatur, Georgia, with her partner, Linda Ellis. They are moms to Ray Ellis’ and Randy Canady's favorite nephews, John Brogan and Sam.
The flowers for this Sunday's service were given in memory of Ruby Davenport by her family.
Special Thanks:
Every Sunday at Asbury, there are people who work behind the scenes to help make the day so meaningful and wonderful for all of us and for our visitors. We thank those unsung heroes of faith—our hospitality team, ushers, greeters, connectors, nursery workers, and children's church teachers.
