To be in third grade is special at Asbury! This is when students are gifted a Bible from the congregation and together we promise to recommit ourselves to the study of God’s Word; so that the seed planted in the hearts of the children will grow to bear fruit in the Kingdom of God. During the 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. worship services on September 21 we will present this year’s third graders with their very own Bible! Please contact Michelle Baird, Director of Children’s Ministries, by September 14 to let her know which service your family will be attending.
