Asbury United Methodist Men (AUMM) provides a fellowship for Christian men of all ages. Aimed at strengthening the spiritual depth of its members and encouraging their support of church programs, Asbury’s UMM Fellowship meets for a Prayer Breakfast the first Saturday morning of each month in the Fellowship Hall. This time of fellowship includes devotionals and a special speaker or program in addition to breakfast. Highlights of the men's year are the quarterly Orlando District UMM dinner meetings held at various churches and the annual Fall Retreat in Leesburg. For specific information click here:
Our "Van Ministry" has been a success from the start. We have 26 men and woman of the church available to provide transportation to and from church so that shut-ins and handicapped may attend our Sunday worship. We need more volunteer drivers and / or shotguns. See our
Van Ministry page for more information and pictures & help drive twice a year.
United Methodist Women (UMW) are a diverse group of women bonded by a single purpose, "To know the love of Jesus Christ and pass it on." Women's Circles meet monthly for friendship, Bible study and outreach. A General Meeting is held the 3rd Wednesday of each month enabling members to become acquainted with those in other Circles and providing the opportunity to hear inspirational speakers and plan group service projects. The UMW also sponsor:

Jim Terry Wednesday Morning Men's Meeting meets every Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. in the parlor for an informal time of devotions and sharing. The group is based on the Bible verse, Acts 2:44: "And all the believers met together constantly and shared everything with each other..." It is tempting to cut ourselves off from one another, each taking care of his own spiritual growth and needs in today's busy world. But as a part of God's spiritual family, we have a responsibility to help one another in every way possible. All men of Asbury and their friends are invited to join in this time of devotions and confidential sharing with other caring men.
