Bulletin for the Service â–º

Flowers:

The flowers for Sunday's worship service are given by Barbara & Chris Gooby in memory of Barbara's father, Gene Namkoong, and brother, Gene David Namkoong, and for Chris Gooby’s father, E. Grey Gooby.

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.

I believe in love even when I don’t feel it.
I believe in God even when God is silent.
