null
Mary Poppins is a musical with music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (aka the Sherman Brothers), with additional music and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe and a script by Julian Fellowes. The musical is based on the similarly-titled Mary Poppins children's books by P. L. Travers and the 1964 Disney film, and is a fusion of various elements from the two.

Bulletin for the Service â–º

Flowers:

The flowers for this service were given in memory of L.W. King by Janet Wagner. During "God on Broadway," Asbury Memorial place flowers in the Narthex, rather than at the front of the sanctuary.

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.
