BEES & WEEDS Update:
Last week we asked for a little extra help from our friends. After months of unexpectedly high maintenance costs, we are now faced with relocating a major infestation of honeybees from the sanctuary, and also with a fast-growing glut of weeds, vines, poison ivy and saplings on our church grounds. Contributions have started to come in, but more are needed. If you can give a little something extra, make out your check to Ascension and note in the memo “Bees” or “Weeds.” (Once the cost of either project is covered, any remainder noted for that project will go to the other.)

Yes,
we are still looking for Coffee Hour hosts and helpers!
Do you have a team, group, family or partner who could bring in a few light/simple snacks, and/or help serve and clean up, for our important time of fellowship after the 10:30 service on Sunday? If you would like to help with Coffee Hour, please sign up on the printed sheet on the office window (or contact Jan Stevens - see below). The coffee itself is provided by the Men's Club, and vestry members have agreed to pitch in on Sundays when no one else is scheduled, but we encourage everyone to share in this ministry as you are able.
- Jan Stevens is our Hospitality Coordinator - contact her by email at jstevens5@aol.com to discuss Coffee Hour questions, needs and procedures. If you can bring treats but need a helper, or vice versa, Jan can help you team up!
