Welcome

Asbury UMC believes that Jesus Christ loves us without exception or exclusion and calls us to love one another unconditionally. We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed. We joyfully offer our hospitality and invite you to participate fully in the life of our church community. You are welcome here.

  • A Note From Rev Emily

    Dear Asbury Congregation,

    What a joy it was to worship with you on Sunday! I am grateful for your warm welcome and hospitality. I also greatly appreciated that you wore name tags! I'd love it if you would continue wearing them for a little while as I'm learning many names at once. Seeing your names in print really helps, and having multiple opportunities to connect your names with your faces makes a big difference.

    This coming Sunday, we'll begin a sermon series about sharing our stories and our lives. This week's sermon is titled, "Who Told You This Story?" In our scripture, John the Baptist tells some of his disciples about Jesus. Those disciples begin to follow him, and then one of them tells his brother. In John's Gospel, this is how the story spreads: people encounter Jesus, experience his presence, and then share their stories with others, who in turn come to see him for themselves.

    I'd love to hear how the story of Jesus was passed on to you. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be arranging some drop-in gatherings as opportunities to share our stories and get to know one another.

    One more thing: As your pastor, I am grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you through life's joys and challenges. If you are going through something and are in need of prayer, conversation, or pastoral support, please don't hesitate to reach out. If you are in the hospital, I'd love to come visit. Just let me know you're there, or have a family member contact me. It's the only way I'll know!

    See you on Sunday!

    Peace,

    Pastor Emily

    Have you been spring cleaning and found items you no longer need? Put them to good use by donating to Asbury’s upcoming flea market! We will be collecting items in the Fellowship Hall from Monday, July 13 through Friday, July 17. Tables will be set up by category—simply place your donations in the appropriate area.

    Please note: We are unable to accept clothing, mattresses, or large furniture items. We also ask that all donated items be clean and in good, working condition.

    The sale will feature both “Pay What You Will” and individually priced items, so there’s something for everyone!

    Thank you for helping make this event a success!
