Easter Sunday Family Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 5, 9:45-10:45 AM (Gym & Outside)
We ❤️ families. And Easter! Please join us for an egg hunt during our Sunday School hour (9:45-10:45 a.m.). We’ll gather in the gym, enjoy light refreshments, do fun crafts, and the hunt will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Children will hunt in designated areas of the church based on their age group – and parents, we need you to stay with your child. If you have children in multiple age groups, we suggest hunting as a family in the area designated for your oldest child.
Easter Sunday Serve Opportunity
The day we celebrate Jesus’ unconditional love for every single one of us, you’re invited to celebrate in a different way. Asbury will be going to Church of the Reconciler to feed our unhoused neighbors Easter lunch. You can help in one of two ways: One, if you already have family coming, double the sides or desserts you’re making for your holiday gathering and bring the dishes to Asbury on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. The other option is to join Missions Coordinator Brooke Wolde for Easter Worship at Church of the Reconciler downtown at 9:30 a.m. and then help serve lunch to 65 guests afterwards.
EASTER FLOWERS
Honor or celebrate the life of a loved one with white flowers.
Asbury’s Flower Guild uses an assortment of white plants to decorate the campus for Easter but they are yours to take home after 11:00 a.m. worship on Easter (April 5). The plants are $25 and a listing of all memorial plants purchased will be inserted into the bulletin on Easter Sunday. The deadline to order flowers is Sunday, March 30.
