Celebrating the Asbury Crossing

 

This weekend we join The New Room (Bristol, UK) in celebrating the 250th anniversary of Francis Asbury’s historic Atlantic voyage from England to America in 1771.

On Saturday, (12:30 PM MST) an evening of Americana from from The New Room (YouTube Live) is being shared as part of ‘The Asbury Crossing: Responding to Call’ celebrations.
On Sunday (8 AM MST), join The New Room for a service to celebrate Asbury’s historic voyage. Asbury, who had been commissioned by John Wesley at the New Room in Bristol, journeyed to America to undertake a preaching ministry that led, in 1784, to the establishment of the American Methodist Episcopal Church and Asbury being ordained as its first bishop.
The service will be livestreamed on The New Room Facebook page at this link.
