Welcome to Asbury. We are glad you are here at Asbury today, and hope you will feel God’s love in your worship experience. We invite you to note the Asbury Calendar on the back page of the bulletin. Please print your information on the attendance pads and return them to the end of the pew. If you desire to join Asbury UMC, come forward during the last song, and our pastors will greet you.
Please take a few moments to silence your phone. For the most meaningful worship, we encourage you to take advantage of our nursery available

Preparing Our Hearts
*Litany of Faith For our fathers, who have given us life and love, that we may show them respect and love, We Pray to the Lord. For fathers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope, and their
family and friends support and console them, We Pray to the Lord. For men, though without children of their own, who like fathers have nurtured and cared for us, We Pray to the Lord. For fathers, who have been unable to be a source of strength, who have not responded to their
children and have not sustained their families, We Pray to the Lord. God our Father, in Your wisdom and love You made all things. Bless these men, that
they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
*Gloria Patri 70 Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end. Amen. Amen.
