The flowers for today's service are given by Tim & Patty Steinhauser in honor of their daughters.
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 greeters, ushers, connecters, nursery workers, children's church teachers, and Asbury's Hospitality Team.
