It is summer vacation!

It is summer vacation! That also means that it’s time for our annual Vacation Bible School (VBS). Each year, our VBS team works hard to provide a program that is both fun and educational. The children who attend always have a great time, make new friends and leave with a deeper understanding of the Lord and His love for each of them. The children will be taught Bible lessons in ways that will bring the stories to life. It’s a great way to teach your children that being a Christian is fun, and that they aren’t missing out on anything by living a life that is dedicated to the Lord. Please encourage your family, friends and grandchildren to attend VBS. Register today at myasburytulsa.org.

Announcements

Current Sermon SeriesJune 5–If there is one psalm worth memorizing, this is it. The phrase, “the valley of the shadow of death” speaks to our worst fears and most immobilizing emotions—sorrow, despair and depression. But it also comforts us with reminders of God’s goodness, His continuing presence, His protection and provision. Psalm 23 is among the most treasured and most repeated because it has guided the hearts of thousands of people over thousands of years. “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.” That’s the song you want stuck in your head.

If you are new to Asbury or looking for a deeper, more meaningful connection to Jesus, our Discipleship Pathway is the way to get connected and grow spiritually alongside others. This initiative is our vision in action. Asbury exists for ONE reason; HELPING OTHERS FOLLOW JESUS. This is what drives us, because following Jesus is the key to life. Following Him provides direction in our lives, it gives meaning, heals the hurting and secures our salvation and eternity with God in Heaven. Before you can help others follow Jesus, you must be a devoted follower yourself. The path has been laid before you. It’s time to take the first step.

Are You New or Looking for a Deeper Connection at Asbury?
