PRISON MINISTRY: Paul Schumacher brings prayer requests on Sunday mornings for any who are interested to pray for the inmates at the Central Florida Reception Center which is a part of the Florida Department of Corrections. These are youthful offenders about 18-24 in age. They are sent there after sentencing and after evaluation they are sent to other facilities around the state. They are there an average of 3 to 4 weeks. Paul is part of the ministry called Prison Fellowship. Please help these young men by taking a prayer request and praying for those needs during the week.
RED BAG MINISTRY: You may bring items for the pantry at any time. Help us keep our children from going hungry. Remember to pick up a RED BAG on the third Sunday and return it on the fourth Sunday filled with the items requested on the attached list. Please remember…NO GLASS CONTAINERS, NO EXTRA LARGE BOXES. THERE IS A GREAT NEED now for extra cereal and extra fruit. For the rest of the summer, if you could double just one of the items on the list that would help a great deal. They hope to stockpile this summer and be ready for the new school year. Also, there has been a splitting bag problem and they have found that the bags that Aldi sells for 10 cents are very durable and last a lot longer. If anyone shops at Aldi and could buy some additional bags, that would be a true blessing. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this ministry.
MEN’S GROUP MEETINGS: All men of Asbury are invited to attend any or all of the classes that are offered here just for them. Monday morning Bible study, 7:00 to 8:00 am in the conference room, facilitated by Bill Erdman. Wednesday morning fellowship, 7:00 to 8:00 am in the parlor, facilitated by Jack Cooper. Promise Keepers on Friday morning, 7:00 to 8:00 am in the parlor, facilitated by Chuck Burt. The UMM Breakfast is held the first Saturday of the month in the fellowship hall beginning at 7:30 am.
AMERICAN FLAGS: Asbury member, Brenda P,is collecting cloth American flags. If you have any that need disposal, kindly bring them to the church office. Brenda cuts the stars out and sends the stars with a note to military overseas. The remainder of the flag is given to her dad’s Marine Corps League and is disposed of properly.
PRAYER MINISTRY: Our prayer ministry team is a vital ministry for our church. They meet once a month as a group and then someone prays over our prayer requests in the chapel every day. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 29th at 1:30 pm in the Welcome Friends Class room. If you feel led to be a member of this ministry, please contact Mavis Treat at 407-699-8654.
