    After nearly two decades of ministry to Buffalo's West Side, the Asbury Shalom Zone (ASZ) has been sold and will close its doors within the next month. Proceeds from the sale will go to Niagara Frontier City Ministries (NFCM) to be used to continue the ministry to the people and churches in the greater Buffalo and Niagara Frontier areas. A celebration of ASZ's ministry will be held at 3 p.m. May 3 at the Primera Iglesia United Methodist Church, 62 Virginia St., Buffalo. Parking is limited.

    Inner city ministry continues

    Ministry to Buffalo's West Side will continue through the Niagara Frontier City Ministries. If you would like to continue to support inner city ministry, you can send your financial contributions to NFCM, c/o Williamsville UMC, 5681 Main St., Williamsville, N.Y. 14221-5517.
