All Saints Candle lighting
On November 3rd, 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 Wednesday, Oct 30th, so we may include them.

CANCELLED
The Ladies of Ascension Tea has been cancelled due to lack of response. It is with great disappointment that the coordinators are forced to cancel this event which hoped to encourage relationships between the women of the church, school staff, and parents.
