Last Pie Party Coming Up!

Pie Party Date

Sunday, August 17 | 1:00–4:00 pm

We are almost there—we need just a little more help to reach our goal! Come for as long as you can—all ages are welcome, and no baking experience is necessary.

All money raised as part of the Asbury Pie Cafe mission supports programs in the community that provide food to those in need.

Small Group Study:

The Turquoise Table Small Group

Leader: Karli Massey

Date: Ongoing

Time & Location

Every Other Tuesday at the Leader’s Home or Flying Star

Description of this Small Group:

The purpose of this small group is to spread hospitality throughout the church. Using the book, “The Turquoise Table” by Kristin Schell as a guide, members brainstorm new activities to create meaningful connections and build friendships through acts of hospitality.

This group formed the Supper Circles. There are three existing groups that come together for fellowship through shared meals. These circles not only strengthen relationships but also inspire collaborative efforts to bring love and joy to the church. Most recently, one Supper Circle took the lead in launching and organizing a new Church Directory to help bring our church family even closer together.



If you are interested in joining a supper group, contact Karli Massey. New members are welcome!

Small Group Study: Cutlers

Leaders: Dave and Lesa Cutler

Study Title: Uncommon Ground

Date: Ongoing

Time & Location: Sundays at 9:30 am in Stephen's Place

Description:

This small group values open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and growing together in faith. They rotate between Bible studies and Christian literature—and their current study is Uncommon Ground, a powerful collection of essays from Christian leaders of varied backgrounds.

As cultures become increasingly polarized, with no strong agreement on any issue, how do we as Christians thrive in such a world? The contributions in this book focus on ways to productively work with others, even those we may disagree.

This small group welcomes new members and would love to benefit from your voice, too.

If you would like to connect with this group or learn more about their current study, or any other small group, please visit the Welcome Center or contact Martha Benn.
