Flowers:

The flowers for today’s service are given by Robert Cliff Harley in loving memory of his sister, Christy Harley Cook.

Special Thanks:

Every Sunday at Asbury, there are people who work behind the scenes to help make the day meaningful and wonderful for all of us and our visitors. We thank those unsung heroes of faith—our hospitality team, ushers, greeters, connectors, nursery workers, and children's church teachers.
