Lenten Revelations Part I “Lord, I’d Never Deny You!”
Welcome to Asbury. We are glad you are here at Asbury today, and hope you will feel God’s love in your worship experience. We invite you to note the Asbury Calendar on the back page of the bulletin, and print your information on the pads and return them to the end of the pew. If you desire to join Asbury UMC, come forward during the last song, and our pastors will greet you.
Please take a few moments to silence your phone. For the most meaningful worship, we encourage you to take advantage of our nursery available
for infants through 2 years old.

YOUTH NEWS:
Tonight is the church-wide Valentine’s Day Youth Fundraiser banquet. We need ALL YOUTH
(and available parents) at the church by 3:30 pm to help set-up/cook! Remember that all funds raised will be split into the youth accounts of those participating (and can be used to pay for OMP, Spring Retreat, Assembly, etc...) We should be done by 7:30 pm that night!
We’re starting a new tradition of partnering with the Confirmation Class to have a Spring
Retreat this year! (It’s pretty much like Fall Retreat, but without the manual labor of unloading a truck full of pumpkins!) The flyer is on the youth board--let me know if you have any questions! You can use the money earned at the Valentine’s Day Banquet to cover some/all of the cost, depending on how much we make! Registration deadline February 28!
This Wednesday Bradley and Josh will be leading our Wednesday night Bible Study on
“Community!” Meet in the Warehouse from 6 pm - 7:30 pm!
