WELCOME to Asbury First United Methodist Church

We are a caring,

Christ-centered community;

Our hearts and doors are open to all.

We invite you to join us in worship,

in learning about faith,

and in loving our neighbor.

We are Asbury First, and we are glad you’re here.

AN INVITATION TO WORSHIPWelcome visitors! We invite you to sign the ritual of friendship pad during the service. Please complete a visitor card, found in the pews, and take it to the welcome desk in the Welcoming Hall, where we have a small gift for you. Informational brochures are available in the Welcoming Hall. If you’re interested in becoming a part of our community, please check the appropriate column on the ritual of friendship pad, or contact any pastor. Again, a deep WELCOME!

Worship Aids: Large-print bulletins, Bibles, and hymnals are available from the ushers. Braille hymnals and ASL interpreters are available with one week’s advance notice to the church office, (585) 271-1050, x103. A hearing loop in the sanctuary is available for those who have hearing aids with T switches; you may also request earphones from the ushers that will aid you in hearing the service if needed. CDs of our Sunday morning services or just the sermon may be borrowed or purchased; call or stop by the office and speak with the receptionist during the week.

Prayer Request Cards are in the pew racks. We invite you to place prayer requests in the offering plates, so that our pastors and the Intercessory Prayer Group may pray for you. Your prayer request is confidential.

Coffee Fellowship: You are invited to enjoy coffee, tea, or cocoa and conversation every Sunday, 9:30 am to 11:30 am, at Heavenly Grounds in the Gathering Center. Treats may also be available.

Giving to Asbury First: Donations to Asbury First may be made during the service by placing your gift (cash or check) in the offering plate when it is passed. You may also give online at www.asburyfirst.org. Questions? Contact Morgan Dornsife at (585) 271-1050 x112 or mdornsife@asburyfirst.org.

As a community of faith, we believe that children are sacred gifts and they are welcome in our worship. We recognize that children can become restless during worship. Excellent nursery and childcare is offered. Children’s bulletins are available. Please see an usher for more information.

After the service we welcome you to sit in the chancel choir pews to meditate and listen to the organ postlude.

We kindly ask that as you enter the Sanctuary you turn off your cell phone.

Worship on Radio: Each Sunday morning from 11 am-noon you can tune your radio to WYSL 1040 AM or 92.1 FM to hear today’s worship service. You may also go to www.WYSL1040.com and hear audio of the service.

LIVE & Archived Worship on your Computer: We offer live video streaming of the 11 am service on our website at www.asburyfirst.org. A video archive of past services is also available. We welcome your suggestions on how we may improve these offerings.

Reconciliation Statement: Asbury First United Methodist Church prayerfully strives to live in its community with open hearts, open minds and open doors. Affirming that each person is of sacred worth, we seek to be a fully inclusive church, believing that all people are God’s children, created in God’s image, loved and blessed equally by God. It is our purpose to be a Reconciling Congregation. This means extending hospitality and encouraging full participation of all, regardless of age, race, national origin, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, marital status or family structure, education or economic background, and physical or mental ability. We recognize that we hold a variety of opinions. We do not seek to erase our differences, but to journey together in faith toward greater understanding and mutual respect. We believe that reconciliation to God and to one

another is central to our mission and ministry.2

Our Mission StatementLove God and neighbor.

Live fully. Serve all. Repeat.

Sound Bite Love. Live. Serve. Repeat.

TO HEAR THE WORDScripture

II Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said, ‘Look, we are your bone and flesh. For some time, while Saul was king over us, it was you who led out Israel and brought it in. The Lord said to you: It is you who shall be shepherd of my people Israel, you who shall be ruler over Israel.’ So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for forty years. At Hebron he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months; and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah for thirty-three years.

David occupied the stronghold, and named it the city of David. David built the city all around from the Millo inwards. And David became greater and greater, for the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.

Anthem "Praise to the Lord"—Cary Ratcliff

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation,O my soul praise him, for he is thy health and salvation:Join the great throng, psaltery organ and song, sounding in glad adoration.Praise to the Lord; over all things he gloriously reigneth,Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth.Hast thou not seen how all thou needest hath been grantedIn what he ordaineth?Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy ways and defend thee.Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,Who with his love doth befriend thee.Praise to the Lord all that is in me give praise and adore him.All that has life and breath come now with praises before him.Let the amen sound from his people again;Gladly forever adore him.

Children’s Time All children are invited forward at this time and may bring their prayer requests and offerings.

Lord's Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Hymn #480 "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go" (vv. 1-3)During the singing of this hymn, children four years old through fifth grade are invited to exit the sanctuary for Enrichment Time.

Offertory "For the Beauty of the Earth"—John Rutter; text Joachim Neander

For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies;For the love which from our birth, over and around us lies.Lord of all, to thee we raise, this our joyful hymn of praise.For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night.Hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light.Lord of all to thee we raise, this our joyful hymn of praise.For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent child.Friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild.Lord of all to thee we raise, this our joyful hymn of praise.For each perfect gift of thine, to our race so freely given;Graces human and divine, flow’rs of earth and buds of heaven;Lord of all, to thee we raise, this our joyful hymn of praise.

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTSCongratulations!We congratulate Jamie Least, our Communications Coordinator, who married Tom Curran on June 30. Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

Townhall Meeting UpdateOn Sunday, June 24, the Capital Campaign Committee & Building Committee hosted a Townhall Meeting. For those who attended, thank you for joining us! For those who missed the meeting, below are some of the highlights:Capital Campaign Committee Update:

• Our Better Together Campaign is off to a great start. We launched in October of 2017, and have received $3.3M in pledges, with over $1M in completed pledges already! To all who have pledged and/or given, thank you. Together, we are bringing our dreams to reality for Asbury First.

• We have come far, and we still have work ahead. We continue to execute strategies, including mini-campaigns (like the Next Step campaign), major gift solicitations, matching gift strategies, and our pursuit of grant and foundation opportunities.

Building Committee Update:• Thanks to your pledges, we are near completion

of the first campaign project, the front and side steps! Please stop by the construction outside the Sanctuary, or head to the Better Together website to see photos!

• Our next project will be the HVAC system, which includes two new boilers, new air handlers, and partial cooling to the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall. Bid packages will be sent in January of 2019, and construction will begin April/May of 2019.

• Because of our commitment to not begin a project without the full pledged amount to complete the project, we will not be breaking

ground on the new Outreach Center (1010) this fall as we had originally communicated. This delay has great advantages to our congregation— allowing time to finalize the Outreach Center plans and pursue outside funding opportunities, many of which wouldn’t be available once construction begins.

For Your Consideration:• If you haven’t yet, please consider your

commitment to the Better Together Campaign. • If you have already made a commitment, consider

an additional gift at some point. There are many meaningful ways to continue giving, including a mini-campaign or a Named Gift.

• Consider a planned gift, which is a wonderful opportunity to continue a legacy of generosity for the next generation here at Asbury First. If you have already made these plans, we would love to speak with you about it! Please feel free to contact Morgan Dornsife at mdornsife@asburyfirst.org or 585-271-1050 x112.

Welcome Dr. Carl Johengen!We are pleased to announce that Dr. Carl Johengen will fill the role of Interim Director of the Sanctuary Choir beginning in August. Carl has earned a reputation of excellence as a conductor, voice teacher, singer, and composer. He holds the Doctor of Musical Arts from the Eastman School of Music, as well as Bachelor and Master of Music from the Ithaca College School of Music. Most recently, he served for 13 years as Co-Minister of Music of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Bath. He is passionate about the role of music in worship, loves to nurture congregational singing, and particularly enjoys helping choirs achieve expressive and artistic communication. Please join us in welcoming Carl! Following the Worship and Arts Strategic Plan, we intend to return to a full-time Director of Music Model, which means finding 9

funding to create a full-time position and finding the right person for this position. A search team has been formed to address these challenges. Together we will continue to honor Asbury First's rich musical tradition.

Campus Care Fellowship CCF will meet again Thursday July 26, 2018 @ 10:30 AM in 1040. We are open to all who are interested in “polishing up” and taking pride in our campus. There is no lifting nor heavy work. We help to supplement in some small way the work load of the Sextons. We are flexible, so come as you are for as long as you can. Project of the day will be determined and cleaning supplies are provided. For questions, please contact Lin Vanderstyne at Ljv@frontier.com or 585-747-4218.

Rochester Pride ParadeJoin us as we march in the Rochester Pride Parade on Saturday, July 21! We will gather at noon on Alexander Street downtown and walk up Park Avenue, accompanied by a float featuring “Balloon Jesus,” as well as friends from other Reconciling UMCs. This is a great opportunity to show our LGBTQ brothers and sisters that all are welcome at our church and that God’s love is for everyone! It’s a day of fun and celebration of diversity. There are a few seats available on the float for those unable to walk the whole parade. Please contact Angie Burch to sign up, or if you have questions, at acburch26@gmail.com. Visit the Ministry CornerEach week, we feature a group or two in the Ministry Corner (near the piano in the Gathering Center). If your group is interested in signing up, please contact Deb Bullock-Smith at dbullock-smith@asburyfirst.org or at (585) 271-1050, x117.

DISCIPLESHIPSpiritual Life Ministry Spiritual ReflectionThe Spiritual Life Ministry offers you a weekly Summer Spiritual Reflection encouraging you to Rest, Renew, Relax and Repeat. This week’s spiritual theme is “Scenic views”. It could be a panoramic vista in the mountains, the roar of the ocean at the seashore or the view in a more urban setting. Scenic views awaken our senses to the majesty of God’s world. Explore your memory and revisit places of beauty that inspired you or made you thankful for the wonder that nature provides. This week’s reflection is: “For the beauty of the earth…hill and vale, and trees and flowers, sun and moon and stars of light…we raise this our hymn of grateful praise”. Pierpont, UM HymnalReminder: Labyrinth open Wednesday, July 11th 5 – 7 PM.

Summer Faith and Arts Class! Wednesdays at 6 pmJoin us as we continue to discover our gifts and passions as creative beings in the kingdom of God. Under the direction of our summer ministry intern, Brooke Caton, we are exploring topics related to theology and arts, with a different focus each week. Our next class will be on July 11th from 6–7 pm and will be on theater and faith in conjunction with Shakespeare on the Green at Highland Bowl.

Have a Care Request? Let Us Know! Bidden or unbidden, God is present. Here at Asbury First, we feel and know this to be true, and we rejoice in this good news! We work to share the presence of God with others, during the good times and during the bad times. Often, during the challenging times in our lives, we need a little help. Our caring ministries are here to support you as we are able to meet your needs. Do you—or someone you know—need some extra care and attention due to illness, bereavement, injury, or another pressing need? We want to be there for you and with you! Care Request forms are available at the Welcome Desk in the Welcoming Hall. For more information, please contact Rev. Kathy Thiel at kthiel@asburyfirst.org or (585) 271-1050 x106.

Caring for One AnotherAt Asbury First, we are a tightly-knit family and strive to care for one another every day—not just on Sundays. That’s why we are inviting you to reach out to individuals in our community whom you may not have seen around the campus recently. Perhaps there has been an especially busy or difficult time for someone in our church community and they could use words of encouragement, a meal, or prayers. We ask that you take a moment each week to reflect on the faces you have seen and those you may not have seen recently—and reach out to them, or let someone with the Asbury First staff know, and we can reach out for you! For details, please contact Rev. Kathy Thiel at kthiel@asburyfirst.org or (585) 271-1050 x106.

Welcome Desk Needs Volunteers on Sunday Mornings!Our Asbury First Welcome Desk is the place to be—and we would love to have you there! The Welcome Desk is located in the Welcome Hall and it is open between the hours of 8 am and 11:30 am on Sundays during the Summer. Welcome Desk volunteers greet people as they approach, hand out name tags and visitor welcome

bags, answer questions, and guide people to the nursery, worship service, and coffee hour. We would love to have you volunteer at the Welcome Desk! We have available shifts for one or two hours—you may work however long you would like. It is a great way to meet people!

More information will be coming about the upcoming construction. Get those hammers ready!

The Grocery Bag Ministry Needs Your HelpThe true front lines of hunger in our community are just a few short miles from Asbury First! Our supplies and budgets are always stretched, even more so as in the last year your GBM has been also providing groceries to 30 refugee families joining our community! We need your donations of foods including:

• jams• peanut butter• pasta sauce and pasta• canned fruits and vegetables• soups • tuna fish

Any donations may be dropped off in the wooden box near the coat racks in the Welcome Hall. We thank each and everyone who makes a donation to ease hunger. Together we can make a real difference and help this essential outreach ministry continue. Thank you all! For more information, please contact Rev. Jacqueline Nelson at jnelson@asburyfirst.org.

Asbury First Blood Drive Successful AgainOnce again, our community answered the call to support hospital patients in need of life-saving transfusions. We collected 28 pints of blood that will potentially help 87 of our neighbors in critical need of blood. According to the Red Cross, less than 5% of eligible donors donate each year. There will be another opportunity to donate on Dec. 17, so mark your calendar. And thanks to all who participated!
