A bouncy obstacle course/slide for all ages, a clown making balloon animals, food, and fun… it’s all going to be at the Church Picnic!

Please join us outside on Asbury’s lawn on Sunday, September 29, following the special 10 AM worship service. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided!

In addition to the fun listed above, we’ll also have a fire truck and classic car show!

Thanks to those who have registered to help us get a rough headcount. We’ve closed registration, but if you’ve not registered, please join us anyway!

September 22-29

Asbury’s Health Ministries Team is holding a collection for the Ripple Community Center from September 22 – 29. Ripple Community is guided by a vision of Allentown as a community where everyone has a role to play, a diverse network of social support, and a connection to the place they call home. Their programs serve over 150 Allentown residents, including people experiencing homelessness or housing instability, people who are socially isolated, people living with significant histories of trauma and mental illness, and the working poor. For our neighbors living with challenges like these, Ripple Community is a source of friendship, support, and community.

The Ripple Community wishlist is:

Smaller Items
– Ground coffee
– Sugar
– Tea bags
– Creamer
– Tissues
– Napkins
– Assorted colors of yarn
– Assortment of Sharpies (in different colors and different tip widths)

Susanna Circle is collecting used cell phones for Turning Point of the LV. Over the last 19 years recycling cell phones, through this program, has helped raise over $59,000.00

Turning Point’s mission is to:
*Work toward the elimination of domestic violence
*Increase community awareness of the problem
*Empower victims of domestic violence by providing shelter and support services.

You can help by dropping your used cell phones off in the “Donation Bin Closet,” located on the lower level of the church across from the church office.
