Weekly Up date Pastor Emily

Dear friends at Asbury,

I write to you this week with gratitude as I share this news. One of the great gifts of the church is that every season brings new opportunities to follow where God is leading. Sometimes that means stepping into a new role, and sometimes it means stepping back to make room for what comes next.

After ten years of faithful service as Asbury's Director of Connections, Cyndi Johnson has shared with your Staff Parish Relations Committee and pastors that she will be stepping away from her staff role. While we will certainly miss her leadership, this is a joyful transition for Cyndi and her family. She believes this is the right time for the church to look at some things with fresh eyes, while she embraces a new season of life. 

Many of you know that Cyndi has poured countless hours into helping people find community, build relationships, and connect more deeply with the life of Asbury. Her ministry has touched so many lives, and we are deeply grateful for the dedication, care, and faithfulness she has shown over the past decade.

This is not goodbye as Cyndi is not leaving Asbury. She remains an important part of our church family and is excited to discover how God may be calling her to serve and grow in this next chapter. She is also looking forward to spending more time with family and eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new grandchild.

As we celebrate Cyndi's ministry and look ahead with hope, we give thanks for God's faithfulness in every season. Please join us in thanking Cyndi for her years of service and praying God's blessings upon her and her family as they begin this exciting new chapter.

Grace and Peace,

Emily
