SERVE
Thanks to your generosity, 83 children in Shelby County will have a Christmas because of the gifts you’ve already selected from the Angel Trees outside worship. This year we’re taking a more wholistic approach and supporting children AND their families. On gift-distribution day, Saturday, Dec. 6 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in Room 128, we’re hosting a family Christmas party and we’d love for you to attend!
Embrace Alabama Kids (formerly the United Methodist Children’s Home) began over 130 years ago as an orphanage. Today, the organization is one of the state’s most comprehensive and vital resources serving babies, children, youth, teen mothers, college students, and families. Asbury is proud to partner with Embrace Alabama Kids. Make a donation this December.
