Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is a jukebox musical with a book by Douglas McGrath that tells the story of the early life and career of Carole King, using songs that she wrote, often together with Gerry Goffin, and other contemporary songs by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Phil Spector and others.
The Asbury Memorial Church Choir is a volunteer choir and does not perform for a paid audience. Asbury Memorial does not charge admission for its "God on Broadway" Worship Series. There are no known copyright restrictions being violated in these worship services.
The flowers for this service were given by Ellie Covington in honor of Tom and Brenda Covington’s 50th wedding anniversary.
Note: During "God on Broadway," Asbury Memorial places 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.
