What was once an experience for the few is now available to all. The Holy Spirit has been poured out on all people and is active among us. We celebrate the work of the Spirit in preparing people to come to faith, giving them courage as they profess Jesus as Lord of the life, and then leads them into a closer and greater following. With the confirmation class making their profession, may we all do likewise anew, with the Spirit’s help.
What would Jesus say if he were invited to give a commencement address to high school or college graduates? Whether you are just graduating, or like many of us you can barely remember when you graduated, Jesus’ words will challenge and inspire you.
We all enjoy comforting things: our comfy chair after a long day of activity, a hot cup of coffee prepared the way we like it, or our favorite style of music. Things that elicit comfort can aid us when we are stressed or need to recharge before another day of work or mission project. However, being uncomfortable also has its purpose and sometimes can lead to healing and places we would not have gone if we did not step past our comfort zone.
The people of God have employed their voices and many musical instruments across the ages in their praise of the Lord. Our Day of Music celebration will feature persons who want to “make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” All of us can and should do this, for the invitation is not just to those who sing in perfect pitch or clap in perfect time; but simply those who need to praise God for his goodness, love, and mercy toward them and the world.
The final message of the Words That Changed the World sermon series.

Four days after Jesus’ friend Lazarus died, Jesus came to the village where Lazarus’ body lay in a tomb. Lazarus’ sister Mary said to Jesus upon his arrival “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus replied by saying “I am the resurrection and the life.” Today, as we celebrate Easter, we will look at what that statement means for us in the here-and-now.

THE MESSAGE (from 12 PM)
Based around Ephesians 5:1-2 and Matthew 4:18-22, in “Footsteps” we’ll remember members who have died in the last year whose footsteps have influenced us and how, as Jesus’s followers, our footsteps make a difference in the lives of others as we live out our faith.
In October of 2022, Asbury church introduced our visioning campaign called “Closing the Gap.” When Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God, he was speaking of the world as it should be. The driving passion of our visioning campaign is to close the gap between what is and what should be in our lives, our community and our world. Join us, as we discuss what we have done and where we are going.
FEATURING GUEST PREACHER REV. STEVEN C. MORTON
Rev. Steven C. Morton is entering retirement this year after 40 years in ministry in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church. Steve most recently served as the Conference’s Leadership Development Manager, but previously served as the Superintendent of the North District (2018 – 2022) and was the long-time pastor of Hopewell UMC, a congregation he served for 21 years.
Steve’s passion remains the empowerment of laity and the encouragement of pastors. He and his wife Joan spend time between homes in Chester County and the Poconos, and enjoy spending time with their granddaughter, attending Phillies games, visiting wineries & Williamsburg, and taking walks in the woods.
We all have questions that we’d like answered from other people and maybe even from God. Join us June 2 for “Questions and Answers” (based on Mark 10:17-22) for an important question posed to Jesus and his answer that also speaks to us.
Memorial Day is a day when we are called upon to remember and respect those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Although the holiday is not expressly religious, it can serve to promote a value that is elevated throughout the Scriptures: the importance of remembrance.
ONE SERVICE AT 10 AM Join us as we celebrate Pentecost and welcome our new confirmands.
Have you ever received an unexpected gift? Join us for worship on April 7 for “Unexpected Gifts” (based on John 20:19-29) to learn more about unexpected gifts Jesus gave the disciples that changed their lives – and that can transform ours too.
WORSHIP AT 8 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11 AM
Easter can mean many things to different people. Some people associate Easter with getting dressed up and going to church. Others think about Easter Egg hunts and getting candy. But what is Easter all about? Join us this Easter as we look at the true meaning of Easter and what that means for us.
A solemn remembrance of Christ’s crucifixion.
