June 1, we're throwing a party to wish a fond farewell to Rev. Dr. Stephen Cady, II, Emily Cady and the Cady family, and we want you there with us! 

Celebration Dinner:  Saturday, June 1 under a Big Tent on the Granger Place Lawn.
    
    3:30 pm — a Bounce House!
    5 pm — Buffet Dinner!
    5:45 pm — a program celebrating the Cadys with live music to follow, and more!

    Please RSVP so that we can plan enough food. Dinner is complimentary, but a voluntary goodwill offerring will be collected to help offset the costs. Give as you're able.

Farewell Gift: Continuing a long-held Asbury tradition, we will collect monetary contributions toward a farewell gift (also known as a purse) for Stephen, showing our appreciation for his love and devotion to Asbury First over the last 12 years. This gift will be presented to Stephen on Sunday, June 2 at the end of the 11 am service.
