Annual Meeting


The Annual Meeting will be held on January 26, 2025. We will have a POTLUCK LUNCH (provided by you), thank the exiting vestry members, welcome the new ones, review the past and future finances, and discuss other important business. Please make plans to attend this vital church function.

 

Vestry Nominations

Do you know a person who has demonstrated a passion for Ascension? We are still taking nominations of people you think will be good vestry members. Thank you for your help in this process which is vital to the ongoing life of Ascension. Just drop their information in the plate or speak to our current Senior Warden, Mike Black.

Attention Ministry Heads!

It’s that time of year! As we prepare for the annual meeting, we would like to share with the congregation all that Ascension offers. If you are a ministry head, please email the office a brief report to be included in the annual meeting reports letting us know what you’ve been up to, that you are still hanging in there, and your hopes for 2025.  Let us share with the congregation what our needs are and how they can get involved.  

Diocesan Council Delegates

Each year we elect at the Annual Meeting FOUR Delegates and TWO Alternates to attend the Diocesan Council.at which the diocese discusses changes, budgets, improvements, and issues. This incredibly informative meeting keeps us in the loop about all the ongoings in the diocese. This year the 176th Diocesan Council meeting will be held February 7-8 at the Forth Worth Convention Center. Please let us know if you would like to attend.

Don’t forget the flowers!

Sign up to donate flowers each Sunday! Just indicate on the flower chart, posted in the narthex and enter your dedication in the book below it. You may drop your donation in the alms basin or send it to the office, marked flower fund. The cost is $100, including delivery.
