International Missions Celebration | January 11, 3:30-5:00PM

As a church we are richly blessed to partner with amazing people who have answered the call to go into all the world and share God’s love. On Sunday, January 11 at 3:30 p.m. in Williams Chapel we have the rare opportunity to hear from five of our international missions partners currently working in Sudan, Indonesia, Europe, Bulgaria, and Thailand!

Join us for worship, hear our Asbury KiDS sing “Go Now in Peace,” enjoy international charcuterie, get a signed copy of “Every Neighbor” from author Sarah Nunnally, (a missionary with Asbury roots!) and hear firsthand stories from these incredible friends.

Throughout the morning on Sunday, January 25, join us in the labyrinth prayer garden. We're concluding our monthly focus on international missions by praying for countries of our world.
