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.

Prelude All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name Asbury Ringers
Arr. Kevin McChesney
*Call to Worship
O Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together!
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
Blessed be His glorious name for ever; may His glory fill the whole earth!
Come, let us return to the Lord, that we may live before Him.
*Hymn of Praise O Worship the King 73
Preparing Our Hearts
*Affirmation of Faith from 1 Corinthians 888
This is the good news which we have received, in which we stand, and by which we are saved:
Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared first to the women, then to Peter and the Twelve, and then to many faithful witnesses.
We believe Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One of God, the firstborn of all creation, the firstborn from the dead, in whom all things hold together, in whom the fullness of God was pleased to dwell by the power of the Spirit.
Christ is the head of the body, the church, and by the blood of the cross reconciles all things to God. Amen
*Gloria Patri 70 Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end. Amen. Amen.
