Lay Leader and Asbury UMC&apos;s Director of Online Communications Jennifer Burns brings a message looking at how we can use our unique gifts and talents to tell a story that only we can tell.  God has equipped us and called us to go out into the world and share our lives and experiences with those around us.  If we don&apos;t do this who else will?  Who else can tell the story that only we can tell?  Scripture is from Jeremiah 1:4-10. For more information about worship at Asbury United Methodist Church, please visit our website at www.asburysmyrnaumc.org.

As she closes out her "Welcome to the New" sermon series, Rev. Julie Lewis looks to Acts 2:37-47 to see how God calls each of us to something bigger and how God created us with a plan in mind.  We are all part of that plan.  As we take our place in our own faith community, we can work to figure out our place in that plan and then be faithful in helping our faith community take it&apos;s place in God&apos;s plan for our community at large. For more information about worship at AUMC, please visit our webpage at www.asburysmyrnaumc.org.
