Poinsettia Orders

Order Poinsettias now until December 12th for display in the sanctuary Christmas weekend.  An order form is included in the bulletin to specify a memorial or in honor and order your plants. Please leave the form in the pew. The cost will be $11.00 each.  Designate “Poinsettia” in the memo line of your check.  You may take your poinsettia plant home after Christmas Service.  You can also call the office to order.

We need singers ---- anyone and everyone welcome!!

Asbury has been asked to sing Christmas Carols for the Highland Heights tree lighting on Nov 26, at 5:00pm at the City building.  Please come out and join us. If you have questions, contact Doug Colyer.

On October 22, about a dozen members of Asbury helped move an elderly couple from their apartment in Victoria Square to their new apartment.  There may be other residents who will need help moving in the next few months.  This last time we only had a little over a week to get the project coordinated.  It would be nice to have a list of willing volunteers on hand in case we get a call for more help.  If you would be willing to have your name on this list for quick action when needed, please send your contact information (e-mail and phone number) to Linda Weber at lswbr@fuse.net.    I will make an e-mail group and send out requests as I receive them. Thanks for being so generous.

It's time to shop!  Asbury is taking part in a Christmas Giving Outreach in partnership with Crossroads Elementary.  We'll be shopping for 15 children who each listed two gifts they NEED, and two gifts they WANT for a total of 60 gifts. Our Giving Tree is in the Gathering Area along with tags for the 60 gifts.  Choose one or several to buy for and return your wrapped gifts to the table in the hall outside the Chapel by  Sunday, December 11, prior to the 9 a.m. worship service.  Questions? Contact Marsha Berry (859.576.4555) or Tracie Amato (859.409-6042).

We are excited to announce that the Children's Christmas program will be on Sunday, December 4th at both services. Rehearsals will be held on Sundays from 6:30 pm to 7:30pm in the lower Sunday school rooms for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. (Preschoolers will rehearse during Sunday School on Sunday mornings). 

REHEARSALS are SUNDAYS, 6:30pm-7:30pm.

Dress rehearsal for EVERYONE will be Saturday morning, December 3.

If you have any questions and/or would like to help with the program, please contact Kelly Beagle or Kathy Mahaney.

Volunteers are urgently needed, especially for November 27th and during December. The sign-up calendar is located to the left of the serving window in the Fellowship Hall. This is a beautiful way to connect with our church family and friends. If you need directions on the “how to” of serving, please contact Janelle Clinkenbeard at 859-653-6720 (text or voicemail is fine). 

Photos

It's time to clear out the file of photos that have been displayed on the Fellowship Committee bulletin board. Look for the photos on a table next to the coffee. You are free to take any photos! They will be available for the next 2 Sundays (November 20th and the 27th).

The Craft Fair Committee would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Craft Fair a success! As a preliminary total (to be finalized), the Craft Fair has made $14,000 which will be distributed to support various mission organizations, locally and internationally. We could not have done it without everyone’s support and hard work!    

A special THANK YOU to everyone who donated a basket for the Craft Fair. We had a very successful year selling 64 baskets, and we are very grateful to our generous donors.
