November 1, 2020 — All Saints' Sunday

22nd Sunday after Pentecost - 34th Online Service during the COVID-19 Pandemic

We have suspended on-site church activities until further notice.
Remember: This crisis is an opportunity for us to be "little Christs".

 
We extend a cordial welcome to each person worshipping with us online. We realize that during this time of separation, it is critical for us to be connected. We hope the service will leave you feeling renewed, fulfilled, and challenged. God bless you all!

Bulletin for the Service â–º

Flowers:

The flowers for today’s service are given by Angie Jenkins in honor of her mother, Mercedes Arnold, on her 87th birthday.

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.
