Celebrating and Preaching
with us this Sunday:
The Rev. Trent Pettit

My Church, My Home
Stewardship Testimony
| | | |
We have been members of Ascension since around 2012, and this church has become an important part of our family’s story. It is a place where our family has been supported, loved, and shaped over the years. We are deeply grateful for the role Ascension has played in our lives.
For us, giving is more than a financial commitment: it is a way to express gratitude to God and inspire a spirit of generosity. God has been faithful to us through every season, including times when giving did not feel easy or affordable. When we prioritize giving and trust God with what we have, He provides, strengthening our faith and giving us hope.
Our giving is also driven by hope for what God is doing at Ascension and the possibilities ahead. We see it as an investment in the people this church serves, the love it shares, and the ways God may continue to work through this community. We are thankful for the opportunity to give back to a place that has given so much to our family.
With gratitude,
Chad and Liz Goodman

All Saints Candle Lighting
On November 2nd, All Saint’s Sunday, we will be honoring those who have passed in the last year with a lighted candle near the altar. We are including all members of the parish whose services were held here, but if there is someone special you wish to honor, please email their name to the office by Tuesday, October 28th, so we may include them.

Join us Every Sunday for the Children’s Bridge Worship
at 10:30 a.m.
Each Sunday, we continue to invite our youngest worshippers a dedicated children's time during the service. They simply follow the service leaders from the front of the church to the narthex for a special service, and they return at the Peace. This is one more way we welcome and support young families at Ascension!

Small Groups
Interested in joining a neighborhood small group at Ascension? We’re exploring the idea of putting two types of groups—mixed-age and young-family—that would bring together people from Ascension Church and School and St. John the Divine for Bible study, prayer, meals, friendship, and service. This is also a great opportunity to invite our neighbors to share life with us at Ascension. We will provide curriculum (conversational teaching on the Book of Acts) and discussion questions. Interested or know others who would be? Contact Rev. Trent: tpettit@sjd.org
