  • Asbury Film Festival

    Invite a friend to our summer series “Asbury Film Festival” where we look for God at the movies. We will examine practical life lessons and Biblical principles through the lens of a different film each week. We will show each movie in the Sanctuary on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. prior to our Sunday sermon – with the exception of our first film which will be shown Thursday, July 17. You will not want to miss out! Invite a friend!

     

    It is not necessary to view the movies in order to appreciate the sermons, but you may find it helpful and enjoyable. WARNING: Please pay attention to the ratings. Not all the movies are appropriate for children – and some adults may find some of the language and situations offensive. View at your discretion.

    Join us as we commit to serving our public schools through an offering and ongoing partnerships. Dakotas UM Conference Bishop Lanette Plambeck will share a message of hope. We will pray over our students, teachers, and staff through a backpack blessing, so bring your school backpacks. There will be an opportunity for baptism and rededication through baptism remembrance. There will be games and activities for children following worship!

     

    Our offering will benefit Hungry Hearts – a local organization that raises funds to ensure that no child goes hungry in the Sioux Falls School District. Hungry Hearts is 100% volunteer-run and every dollar they raise helps pay for school lunches through the School District’s Angel Fund. 

     

    United Methodists across Sioux Falls will be United By Hope as we share in worship, community, and service in Jesus’ name. We believe our time together will provide a powerful witness to Jesus Christ in Sioux Falls! No worship services will be held at Asbury on August 24. Please make every possible effort to attend this special day!
