As United Methodists, we know how to connect as one in times of trouble and crisis. We know how to lean on God and one another, and we know how to rise as powerful witnesses to take bold action on behalf of all of God’s people. Together, let us take the steps and do all we can to address the spread of the virus, with the assurance that perfect love casts out all fear.

In closing, it is our prayer that when we come back together there will be an overflow!!!!!! 

Blessings and peace,

Pastor Gay & Lesa Lindsay

Tribute for Women’s History Month at Asbury-Jessup

In recognition of Women’s History Month  we will be spotlighting women of Asbury-Jessup throughout the month.  Today I would like to acknowledge the contribution of three Asbury Jessup women.  I will always consider it to be one of God’s greatest blessings that I was allowed to learn from these three women who invested their lives in building the only thing that will last forever, the body of Christ.  Thank you for your thousands of ways,  big and small, seen and unseen that you have blessed our church with.  With your gifts, your talents, your perspectives, wisdom and leadership. So we honor the faith and lives of Elaine Thomas, Delores Green, and Nellie Butler.  You have charted your own paths and have worked to create a better future for us at Asbury-Jessup.  Your history is your strength.  Your strength brings to life Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who gives me strength”.  So thank you so much for your labor of love at Asbury-Jessup.

These women cumulatively represent close to 200 years of membership and over a century of service and remain active today.  Elaine Thomas serves as Communion Steward, Delores Green serves on our choir, and Nellie Butler serves as our pastor’s secretary.  We give a big shout out to these women who made and continue to make differences through their unwavering loyalty over so many years.  Let us too give the best of our service that we might inspire others. Their love, prayers, and sacrificial giving are wonderful examples of how service should work for the Lord. The dedication and hard work of these outstanding women have resulted in an invaluable service.  On behalf of Asbury-Jessup I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation for a job well done.  Your willingness to use your gifts and abilities has strengthened the mission and ministry of our church.  You have also been an example of servant leadership and giving.  We are eternally grateful to God for these women. With God’s help and servants as these Asbury-Jessup will maintain its place as a Keystone in our community

Well done good and faithful servants.
