Surprise: You re Not IN...
Transcript of Surprise: You re Not IN...
Surprise: You’re Not IN Church.At Asbury, the church is not this beautiful building. It’s the people inside—a
family of believers. Some have been Christians for decades. Others are just coming to know Christ. We are all God’s children gathered together to worship, learn and serve. God has big plans for each and every one of us, and we’re committed to discovering His will for our lives and developing
our full potential in Christ. At Asbury, you’re not in church; you’re a part of it!

If you are new to Asbury or looking for a deeper, more meaningful connection to Jesus, our Discipleship Pathway is the way to get connected and grow spiritually alongside others. This initiative is our vision in action. Asbury exists for ONE reason; HELPING OTHERS FOLLOW JESUS. This is what drives us, because following Jesus is the key to life. Following Him provides direction in our lives, it gives meaning, heals the hurting and secures our salvation and eternity with God in Heaven. Before you can help others follow Jesus, you must be a devoted follower yourself. The path has been laid before you. It’s time to take the first step.
Are You New or Looking for a Deeper Connection at Asbury?

Current Sermon SeriesMay 29-Work is good, and as they say, all good things must come to an end. However an end of work can feel like an end of significant life if we don’t understand that while we retire from some things, we retire to others. Scripture offers a clear vision of our later years as a season of bearing much fruit, sharing a lifetime of skills and wisdom for the sake of God’s kingdom and ultimately receiving the reward of resting in Christ.
Announcements
Are you currently not serving on Sunday mornings?Please consider joining a team!Imagine what could happen if we surround our kids and students with a community of adults who know and love them. Imagine what could happen when our guests are greeted not by one or two but scores of volunteers when they drop off their kids for children’s ministry.Imagine what could happen when teams gather to pray for our children, for our volunteers, for our children’s services, for our toddlers and babies and more. Imagine what can happen when we do not come to be served but to serve! Come be a part of Serve2 in children’s ministry.
Questions you might have:What if I don’t have a lot of biblical knowledge and might not know the answer to the children’s questions? Don’t worry, we have all been in that situation. But the children’s ministry staff does an amazing job of relating the Bible story to their appropriate age. The lesson plan is emailed to you each week with step-by-step instructions on how Sunday will go and what the story is about. This way you are given the tools to help them better understand the story. You will not be left without the understanding of what is happening on Sunday. We will not leave you in the dark. You might even learn a little bit yourself!Are they as loud and crazy as I think they are? Yes and no, but not every Sunday is the
same. We do have some FUN and CRAZY Sundays where we have the Amazing Race, make ice cream and Just Dance (no prior experience necessary). But on most Sundays, we are teaching your children to become like Jesus.How do I get involved? How do I sign up? Contact Heather Horton, Children’s Ministry Volunteer Recruiter at [email protected] or 918.492.1771. She will be able to answer your questions and get you started.
