April 14, 2021
Dear Church Family, The Church Council met last evening and had much discussion about our current and future practices in worship at Asbury UMC. Within the conversation we again recognized that any decision about worship practices will encourage some to attend and yet distance others. We, of course, wish this weren't the case.

We are grateful for a Church Council who is willing to sit with, listen, and discuss with each other the options we have as a worshiping community in this strange season of history.

As follows is the policy that Asbury UMC will be following for worship: Face masks will be worn:
     • When entering or leaving the building
     • When approaching another person
     • When singing in worship
Once you are seated in worship and are properly spaced from others, it will be your choice to wear or remove your face mask.

This is the practice that many restaurants are following, so many of us may be used to this sort of action already.

As always, worship is live-streamed at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays and will continue to be available on our church's Youtube channel: Click this link for Asbury UMC' YouTube Channel.

Please continue to pray for our church community and leaders as we continue to discern and practice safety and love.

In Christ,

Asbury UMC Church Council

Lori Buie, Council Chair

Pastor Tori Heath

Meet Our Pastor

Pastor Tori Heath was born and raised in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Her alma maters include Charleroi Area High School, Edinboro University, and Asbury Theological Seminary.

Her passion is growing people's love for God through believing in, belonging to, and becoming like Jesus. Her vision for ministry centers around building teams that work together to bring about spiritual renewal in the church that spills over to the surrounding community. She deeply loves seeing lives transformed by the Good News of Jesus!

Tori met her husband Dustin during their time at Asbury Seminary where Dustin also received a Master of Divinity and is pursuing a career in chaplaincy. He ministers to people who struggle with addiction at Snug Harbor Rehabilitation and Recovery. Tori and Dustin enjoy coffee, camping, searching for beach glass, and making each other laugh a lot.

If you would like to get in touch with our pastor, please email her at pastori.heath@gmail.com
