Upcoming Music & Arts Events Please join us for the following events:
Asbury is hosting a group art show in the Hospitality Center adjacent to the sanctuary and offices. The theme of the show is Participating With the Creating Spirit which celebrates the visual art work of people of all ages and physical abilities. Jim Harris, Associate Pastor for Congregational Care at Bridgewater UMC, is featured along with retired pastor, Kathy Pigg who serves Asbury as Artist in Residence. Work by elementary children who were present in Sunday School on July 11th gives images and words to the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. Also featured is the work of long time survivor of MS, Lori Konkle, who died in 2007 and is the sister of an Asbury member. The show is open on Sundays and during church office hours, 8:30 AM – 4 PM, on Monday - Thursday and 8:30 AM – Noon on Fridays through Sept. 3rd.

Clinicians will be Kath Wissinger and Bettie Dollins Tindall. The purpose of this one day event is to support the learning of handbells and hand chimes for elementary age children (grades 2 through 6).
