Weekly Update// Pastor Chris
Dear Asbury Family,
I hope you're having a great Thursday! I wanted to let you know about our upcoming Sunday worship services on September 10, where we'll gather as a community to grow in our faith and worship together. We've got a special guest preacher joining us this week.
Brian Carr, who used to be one of our associate pastors at Asbury, will be with us. He's currently serving as the Director of Church Relations for the Florida United Methodist Children's Home. Brian plays a crucial role in connecting the Children's Home, an organization that helps vulnerable children, with United Methodist congregations across Florida. We’re fortunate to have him back, and we're looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
Brian will be continuing our series on the parables, focusing on the parable of the wise and foolish builders. He's an excellent preacher, and I believe his message will help us build our lives on Jesus Christ.
This Sunday, we'll also be remembering the anniversary of 9/11, a day that had a profound impact on the world. During both of our services, we'll take a moment to honor the lives lost and pray for peace and unity.
Exciting news: Our new community groups will be starting next week! So far, around 60 people have signed up to be part of these groups. They're going to be a fantastic addition to our church's ministry.
Thank you for being a part of our church community, and I can't wait to see you (in person or online) for worship on Sunday!
Blessings,
Chris
