This is one of those VERY SPECIAL and UNIQUE posts that we get to post, on behalf of the Asbury United Methodist Church Trustees in Brownsburg, Virginia

The pictures stand for themselves! The Church Bell was assessed today and is in much better condition than we all imagined! Great Job Asbury Ancestors!

The old Church Bell will once again RING, after being silent for ~50 years. We all can't wait and we’re so excited to learn this just a few hours ago.

The bell has a diameter of 18 inches and is about 14 inches tall.

Enjoy the photos.... (you'll see two Trustees in the photos: JR Rife and Doug Stevenson)

President of Asbury Trustees JR Rife, Trustee Doug Stevenson, and several volunteers (Paul & Nancy Hahn, Bill & Billy McGough, and Fred Whipple; local resident and Air Force Veteran were on hand to Thank members of the Military Officers Association of America ['MOAA'] for several reasons; 1). their direct support in the solemn wreath laying ceremony at the Asbury Church Cemetery; Vern Lochausen, Greg Shear, Rich Hastings, Mark Bryant, Bob Hopkins, and Fred Whipple, and 2). Thanking Mr. Dennis Bussey for supporting the recent cleaning of 61 headstones (in 1-day!).

The overall theme, fittingly was service;
-Service to our country for those Veterans, who honorably served and were laid to rest at the Asbury Cemetery
-Service to our country for the Veterans in the room - about 90 in total (mainly Military Leaders)
-Service to our Community; including the Asbury Church Trustees and Volunteers

Important Day today - a volunteer group, led by Dennis Bussey, spend today cleaning over 61 Gravestones at the Historic Brownsburg, Virginia Asbury Church Cemetery! The before and after impact is stunning! Thank You Dennis, Doug Stevenson, JR Rife, Isabelle Chewning, and Bill & Billy McGough. It's all about History and Honor!
