VIEW ALL EVENTS

Join us Sunday in Worship as we celebrate the Epiphany and the mystery of God's grace!

This Sunday in worship, we'll be looking at Isaiah 42 and think through how we have been "called in righteousness." As we face the challenges of our modern times and grapple with how we can demonstrate the fullness of love for all of God's people, we can look to Jesus. Jesus is one who demonstrates for us what it means to walk a life of faith that is consistent with God's call for peace and justice in the world, and we can trust that through Christ, renewal is always possible.


Listen to Pastor Jeff as he talks more about this in his video this week. We hope to see you all on Sunday morning in worship at 9 and 11 am!

Dates Open for 2026 Altar and Memorial Garden Flower Sponsors!

Would you like to donate altar flowers in celebration or honor of a loved one? Celebrate a birthday or an anniversary? We would love to honor your loved one in our weekly service. We have a standing flower order with Village Flower Company, and the cost is $50 to provide flowers each weekend for the altar.


Another way to provide flowers while helping out the Memorial Garden is by sponsoring the garden for a month. By making a donation of $25.00 during your chosen month, these funds help to buy perennials and flowers for the large planters in the garden. Donations may also be given to the garden in memory, honor, or celebration of a loved one.


Please call the church office at 913.432.5573, or email Phyllis Williams at phyllisw@visitasbury.org if you would like to sign up to help out with Asbury flowers!
