Asbury Memorial Church has unveiled the lineup for its popular God on Broadway series, which will take place during worship services every Sunday this October. The special services will combine sermons and liturgy with the themes and music from popular Broadway shows. Sunday worship services will begin at 11:15 a.m. at Asbury Memorial located on 1008 E. Henry Street. 

God on Broadway will kick-off Sunday, Oct. 3 with Fiddler on the Roof, followed by Spamalot on Oct. 10. The series will continue with Hair on Oct. 17, and The Lion King on Oct. 24^, before concluding with The Addams Family on Oct. 31. 

The vibrant Asbury Memorial choir will perform selections from these Broadway musicals under the direction of Minister of Music, Ray Ellis. Rev. Billy Hester will offer stimulating sermons that blend themes from these musicals with scripture. 

“Our congregation looks forward to this series every year as it provides a special opportunity to share biblical teachings and God’s love in a unique way,” said Rev. Hester. “We are extremely thankful that we are able to share this annual tradition once again. We are looking forward to seeing our members and guests alike in the congregation.” 

Rev. Hester and his wife, Cheri, have acting experience from both on and off Broadway and love using their talents and their former careers as actors to enhance the worship experience. God on Broadway has been a mainstay at the church since 2005 and, each year, is popular with people who appreciate this innovative approach to sharing the Gospel and Christ’s love. 

Asbury Memorial is a Christ-centered, forward-thinking, all-inclusive congregating that celebrates the joy of God creatively and is committed to remaining a welcoming and affirming congregation for all. The God on Broadway series is free and open to the public.
