Shrove Tuesday

Thank you to all who helped prepare and thank you to all who came to enjoy. It is always a pleasure to serve in fellowship and to share a meal.

Campus Workday

Join us on April 5th for some landscaping and campus clean-up, so bring your rakes, shovels, and hardworking attitudes, and let's welcome spring!  

Reestablishing the LEV ministry

We are reestablishing the LEV, Lay Eucharistic Visitor, ministry. This ministry brings communion to those who are unable to attend church. It is vital that we keep contact with our homebound parishioners during this transition time. We are seeking individuals who are interested, training will be available. Please speak with Sam in the office or Tom Sutton.

Donate a Lily

There are no flowers on the Altar during Lent. However, come Easter, the Altar will be overflowing with beautiful Easter lilies. Please donate a lily and write your special dedication in the flower book or send it to the office (office@ascensionepiscopalchurch.org).

Cost is $25. Thank you. Please use the link below.

Easter Music Needs Underwriters

Please make an offering to help underwrite the Easter Musicians. They were wonderful at Christmas and we look forward to a repeat performance. Donations may be dedicated in memory of, in honor of, in thanksgiving for, etc., and will be acknowledged in the Easter orders of service. Donations will be accepted through Easter, but in order for the dedication to appear in the bulletin, it must be received by the office no later than April 14th. Please email the church office (office@ascensionepiscopalchurch.org).

Reminder:

We have gotten notice from parishioners and friends of parishioners that they have received a text from Fr. Mark stating something to the effect that he is "in a prayer meeting and cant talk but needs help".  There are other variations.

DO NOT RESPOND to this text.

DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS thar accompany this text.

IT IS A SCAM!

It just delete it outright.


Fr. Mark, Ascension Church, Ascension School, Sam, the vestry, will NEVER request funds for "emergency situations", any sort of "Help" or in the form of gift cards or online cash transactions.


If you ever have any questions regarding the legitimacy of a request or communication, please contact the office, ask a fellow parishioner, or member of the staff/vestry. NEVER send money unless you are 100% sure you know where it is going to.
