Christmas
How do you prepare for the season of light?
Asbury First celebrates the season of Advent in many different ways. The preparation for the coming of Jesus is an important time. It is a time of celebration and joy, a time where we can all come together in fellowship and love. However, the holiday season can easily fill up with busy nothings—we can find ourselves endlessly rushing here and there.
At Asbury First, our events and services are held to remind us of the “Reason for the Season” and to provide a place to connect, slow down, and prepare our hearts for Jesus’ coming.
Please take a look at some of the amazing events, services, and resources on this website.
