Asbury will offer two consecutive Adult Sunday School Classes during the summer for spiritual growth, fun, fellowship, sharing of joys and concerns. “Come when you can”.

Both of these Summer Classes will meet in Room 302-303 on the upper level from 9:30-10:25 AM. Everyone is welcome, so grab a friend and join Phil and Tim when you can! It promises to be an exciting summer!

Phil Paulson will begin the summer by showing a video and leading discussions centered around the scriptures from the Lectionary that Pastor Tim’s sermons will be based upon.
June 7 – Romans 43:13-25 Righteousness Through Faith
June 14 – To be Decided
June 21 – Jeremiah 20:7-13 A Fire in My Bones
June 28 – Matthew 10:40-42 Welcome Them as Christ
July 5 – Matthew 11:25-30 My Yoke Is Easy NO CLASS
July 12 – To be Decided
July 19 – Matthew 13:24-30 Weeds, Wheat, & Growing in Christ

July 26, August 2, 9, 16, 23. Pastor Tim lead discussions centered around the book "INSPIRED" by Rachel Held Evans.

This book is available at either entrance or in the church office. In her book, INSPIRED, Evans tackles such questions as: If the Bible isn’t a science book or an instruction manual, what is it? What do people mean when they say the Bible is inspired? What is the Bible and how are we to read it? In INSPIRED, she explores contradictions and questions and is undaunted by the Bible’s most difficult passages and unafraid to ask the hard questions. She wrestles through the process of doubting, imagining, and debating the mysteries surrounding Scripture.

Our Rachel Circle group has been busy gathering items and donating to Argrows House of Healing and Hope for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Dr. Kit Ford, founder and director, spoke to them about their industry, cafe, gift shop and food truck. The indvduals who work in these locations and make their products (candles, locations and soaps) have all been part of the program designed to help them recover from violence or assault. They also made donations to help support their pantry and now know of a new place for lunch! Thank you ladies for sharing God's love!
