Quoting Isaiah 43:19 – “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth; do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”, Rev. Kathy says, “As I move to Ashburn and to Ashburn FUMC, I’m excited to see all the new things God has in store. Change and transitions can sometimes be dreaded, but when guided by God’s Spirit, they are filled with joy, excitement, and expectation. I’m filled with expectation about being a part of a wonderful church and a great community.”

The Victoria Evans Memorial Library is thrilled to share that we are the recipient of a 2-1 matching Pilcrow Foundation Grant.
The Pilcrow Foundation, a national non-profit public charity based in Oregon, provides grants of up to $1,200 to rural public libraries through its Children’s Book Project.
We provided our $400 match through Giving Tree Leaves purchased by Councilwoman Andrea Pierce and The Ashburn Turner-County Chamber of Commerce.
The Pilcrow Foundation actually sent us almost $2,000 worth of books - well above the promised $1,200 - as additional books were provided to Pilcrow, for us, by generous benefactors.
This donation of almost 100 new books nearly doubles the number of children's books we are able to add to our collection for the entire year!
The books are on display in the children's section, and we encourage to come and browse them with your littles!
Scripture & Prayer
Scripture: Psalm 33:12(KJV) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Prayer: Lord, we Praise and Acknowledge your Sovereignty, humble ourselves under your mighty hand and declare that Jesus is Lord! We pray for the needs of our families and community, in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
Prayer of Salvation: Lord Jesus, you are the Son of God, I confess that I am a sinner and ask for your forgiveness, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.
