Weekly Up date Pastor John

Dear Asbury Family,

As the school year winds down, we look forward to a fun summer together. I hope you get to enjoy time with family, find some rest, and stay cool in the heat.

This Sunday, May 31, is Trinity Sunday. We believe in one God in three persons, as we sing in the Gloria Patri: "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost… God in three persons, blessed Trinity." Our text is Matthew 28:16-20, the Great Commission, where Jesus sends his disciples to make more disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is love, and that love flows between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are invited into that love, and then sent out to invite others in. Join us Sunday as we dive deeper.

One pastoral reminder. Attendance typically dips during the summer, and so does giving, which means our available funds tend to run low this time of year. Even while you're on vacation, I want to encourage you to give consistently through the summer months. Our goal is to end the year with a balanced budget, and it will take all of us giving generously and sacrificially to get there. Every gift is an act of faith that keeps the ministry of this church alive, and your faithfulness makes possible everything God is doing through Asbury. We are so grateful for the many ways each of you support this church family. We have some great ministry planned for this summer and into the fall of 2026.

Shalom, John
