Current Events at Ascension
WINE AND THE WORD
Wine and the Word is a group of women at Ascension (friends welcome, too) who will gather monthly for fellowship, light snacks, and conversation about how our faith helps us live our life in the world today. Join us! Next meeting is Wednesday, October 22, 7pm in Ascension narthex. Contact Stacey Schutte or Pastor Jodi for more info.
NEW—MEN’S FELLOWSHIP COMING
The women have Wine & the Word, now let’s try something for the men! Join us on Wednesday, October 22 at 7:00 pm at Montgomery Public House (MPH), 7880 Remington in downtown Montgomery. Decisions will be made—location, type of content, who will lead discussion, and more. Jonathan Keith has agreed to handle logistics (at least for the launch) so contact him with any questions (jskeith@live.com).
Thanks to Thrivent, we have a chance to offer help to our mission partner Heartfelt Tidbits in two ways! During October we’ll be collecting baby or toddler diapers for them. All sizes are welcome and opened packages are OK! Many refugees come to them without basic supplies for babies. In addition, Thrivent will generously make a cash gift of $150 to Heartfelt Tidbits at the end of the diaper drive. Thank you for your generous contributions throughout October!
FAMILY FELLOWSHIP
Friday, October 17th, 5:00 pm, 50 West Brewery. See sign up sheet in Narthex. Contact Marjorie Jones with questions: marjkeith@hotmail.com. All types of families are welcome!
USHERS!
All current and aspiring ushers are invited to join us for lunch following worship this week for fellowship and a simple reminder of the usher role in providing hospitality. Join us!
SAVE THE DATE
December 13, 9:30 am, Master Gardener Sandy Haffner will lead us in a “Gathering of Greens.” Sandy will help us select greenery from our church property or bring your own, then she’ll guide us in creating porch pots. Watch for details for this event that lets us use God’s good creation to create a seasonal decoration. All are welcome (children with an adult).
