THIS MONTH
There are only about 7 weeks of school left,
which means things are winding down for
those of you who are seniors. We are looking
forward to spending a time of celebration with
you at the Senior Luncheon on May 15! As you
go through this time, whether a Senior or not,
remember the words of Jeremiah 29:11 and
Matthew 28:20. We are not drudging through
the days by ourselves, even when it feels like
we have papers that will take forever to write,
projects that will never get done, and tests we
can never pass. Be at peace as you wrap up
the school year, knowing you will never walk
alone.

TGIF has been a Friday mainstay at Asbury for a number of years now and it couldn’t happen without the help of a dedicated team
of volunteers. Thank you to all of you who set aside a Friday each month to open Asbury’s doors for fun with a message involved.
We have seen more and more faces every month this year! Students: If you haven’t been to TGIF, come see what it’s all about.
Parents: If you would like to volunteer to help at TGIF, please contact Lisa Dolan at dolanpt@aol.com or Aaron Forney at

LEMONADE FOR A CAUSE
On Saturday, April 16, some students braved the weather to serve lemonade for a good cause. Just Cabinets on Tilghman Street
were hosts to an “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” to help raise money toward children’s cancer research. The stands are held in various
locations throughout the country in memory of Alexandra Scott, who raised money through yearly lemonade stands for the same cause
prior to losing her own battle with cancer at age 8. Barry Olphin built the stand and we were asked to assist in painting and staffing
the stand. Thanks to the Sr. High Guys Group for painting and to Ariel, Beth, Nate, Alex, McKenna and Sam for being servants,
despite cold, wind, and rain!
GRESS MOUNTAIN RANCH FUNDRAISER
Through food service during a concert at Asbury on April 2, we were able to raise $250 to donate to Gress Mountain
Ranch. The Gress Mountain Ranch is a safe haven and a place of recovery for the animals, as well as providing therapy
to at-risk, inner city, special needs children, as well as adults and adolescents on parole. Both children and adults with
psychiatric disorders are helped in healing through their "therapeutic ranch." Thanks to all who helped, and a BIG
THANKS to Marianne Werling, Joe Kalinosky, and Don Wingate for coordinating the food and overseeing the kitchen!
Don’t forget we are taking a trip to Oaks, PA on
Saturday, May 21, 2011 to attend the Eastern
PA Conference’s rally, THE BIG EVENT: ROOTED
AND GROUNDED. Admission is $15 in advance
and $20 at the door.
