Second Sunday after the Epiphany β€” 45th 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".

Β 
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!

Ministers:

Rev. Claire Marich
Seminarian Cale Hall

Flowers:

The flowers for today’s service are given by Lee Davby Bill & Karen Jahn in honor of our daughter, Lindsay and in honor of our Asbury Church Family.

Special Thanks:

Every Sunday during this period of virtual services due to the pandemic, there are people who work behind the scenes to help make the service meaningful and wonderful for all of us and our online visitors. We thank those unsung heroes of faith β€” our videographers, video editors, sound editors, and font editors.
