Laura Wilder Elementary Waterproof Gloves and FAcial Tissues
Asbury has the opportunity to be a blessing to Laura Wilder Elementary (our signature ministry) by meeting a few needs of the students and classrooms. The office at Laura Wilder has requested WATERPROOF GLOVES, in all sizes, so that kids can enjoy the snow piles on the playground. They are also in need of BOXES OF FACIAL TISSUES for the classrooms. These donations can be placed in the tub outside of the church office or you can make a financial contribution here.
Mission Trip Donations for Ryan Mix
Asbury's Ryan Mix will be going to Uganda on a mission trip with a group from Dakota Wesleyan University where he is a student. The group will work with AsOne Ministries, an organization founded by Andrew DeVaney, a DWU graduate. They will lead a summer camp for students and working at a medical clinic. You are invited to support Ryan by giving a gift to help cover his expenses and the Asbury Missions Team will match all gifts given up to a total of $500. Donate here! Thank you for supporting one of our own in his faith journey.
