Christ is risen! Celebrate the Good News! Mingled with the stories of resurrection are questions about what is coming next, for the disciples and for us. Ephesians 2:10 says “we are God’s handiwork.” What does that mean for our lives of faith? Invite a friend to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and new life through the Risen Christ!

Calling all United Methodist Youth! We’re back, and this time it’s going to be even better. Join us for a night of crazy games, good food, great music, and fellowship with other youth groups in the area. You won’t want to miss this! Join us on Friday, April 25, from 6:00-10:00 p.m.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate with Asbury confirmands as they confirm their faith on Sunday, April 27, during Asbury’s 9:15 a.m. service. 

Confirmation is a time in a student’s life when, after a series of classes, they confirm the vows that were made at their baptism, making a public commitment to Jesus Christ, and becoming full members of our church community. Please lift these young people in your prayers as they mark this milestone in their faith journeys. 

Comforters meet to put together small baby quilts. We match two flannel pieces of cloth, sew them together, turn them, and then tie them. Most of these small blankets are sent to Tree of Life, Mission, SD. A few blankets may be given to other non-profits in the Sioux Falls area. All are welcome to come and make the small quilts.

Join us Wednesday, May 14 at 9:30 a.m. in Room 005.
