September 1, 2022

In the name of Christ, we embrace all people to be nourished and empowered by the Holy Spirit to love and serve the world.

We regret to share news of the death

of long-time Ascension member

Martha Moore

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon her.

Martha did not wish to have a public service and the family, in lieu of flowers, would like to direct donations to the Bluegrass Care Navigators (Hospice), https://www.bgcarenav.org/

FROM PETER'S PEN

As Mona concludes her time as our Parish Administrator, I want to express my sincere thanks for her years of faithful, hard, and good work at Ascension. She helped us to stay organized, made us look fabulous with her graphic design gifts, and was a pleasant, professional presence when people first walked into the church office. I am very grateful for her work and her presence. Well done, good and faithful servant!
