Rejoice in the Lord always. “Philippians 4:4

I invite you to rejoice in the Lord for making us one family. Asbury United Methodist church is a family of disciples of Lord Jesus Christ. We are the body of Christ. Our family is made up of different families. But we are one in Christ. One faith, on baptism, one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, one Holy Spirit and one God our Father.

We rejoice in the Lord for our vision which is, “To be and to make a disciple for Jesus Christ.” (Matthew 28:19) Our mission is, “To Celebrate, Connect, Develop, Serve and share our faith as we make disciples. We aim to take the church into the community.

As a family we rejoice in the Lord for being called by God to be on a faith journey. For “We walk by faith and not by sight” (2Corinthians 5:7) We are also called to “Walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16). By the grace of God our focus is to live a Christ like life. For us Christ centered life is to love God and our neighbor (Mark 12:30-31).

Let’s rejoice in being family.

“Rejoice in the Lord always.” (Philippians 4:4)
